Think they were both a little extreme. Some close rounds in the first half, probably had Eubank by about 6 with the knockdowns and point deduction.

Wish I'd put more down now ffs...

DeGale absolutely shot to pieces. Like he said, he's done it all, nothing to gain from carrying on, should retire.
Eubank gives neither Smith, BJS any problems at all. I give him a chance against Dirrell

Agreed. He has nothing to prove to anybody and it would be terrible to see him become a punch bag for up and coming boxers.

He would easily fit in with the army of ex-boxer pundits employed by Sky. Always a job in sport there it seems !!

Joe Joyce having the Terminator as his walk on music was very apt, he boxes like a rusty T-800. Not very impressive against a fat, old Stiverne.

Also sounds a little punch drunk already, must have done a fair bit of sparring with some big hitters...good chin/slight brain damage.

Rocky Fielding might be a good scrap for Eubank Jr.

Mikey Garcia vs Errol Spence Jr. is on ITV4 early doors tonight.

Would love to see Mikey pull an upset.

Not even close my friend. Spence was absolutely clinical, outpunched Garcia by more than 5-1. Garcia never looked in it from the 2nd round.
Technically Spence is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

Wanted an upset because I thought (correctly) that it would be a poor fight otherwise.

Far too much physically between the two as demonstrated by this photo that was doing the rounds...

Had money on Spence knocking him out tbh.

Was never going to be big enough to trouble spencer. Crawford might give him some trouble though.

Fury to fight Tom Schwarz, Wilder to fight Dominic Breazeale and Joshua to fight Jarrell Miller

...a pox on all the promoters and TV companies. Just give us Fury vs. Wilder II then have the winner fight Joshua.

Funniest thing is Fury shouting his mouth off, about how he’s a fighting man, only wants the best and picking holes in everyone else’s opponent

He then picks Tom Schwarz, by far the worst opponent of the big 3 names. He makes Breazeale and Miller look like a prime Riddick Bowe and a prime Sonny Liston. He’s fucking crap.

Take a look at this nonsense -


That guy he didn’t really want anything of and was struggling with, is Derick Chisora’s next opponent.

Fury should be embarrassed. This move makes Breazeale and Miller much more credible opposition. At least them two have faced and beaten decent heavyweights. Honestly, Daniel Dubois, Nathan Gorman and Joe Joyce would all beat Schwarz. Possibly David Price too. That’s 4 from the UK alone and not including Chisora, Whyte or Joshua!

Great fight between Fitzgerald and Fowler just now. Glad the former won and no idea how the judge scored it for Fowler, by two points having suffered the only knock down of the fight?
