    Thought it was a draw, couldn't have complained if any had nicked it though. 4 rounds seems a bit much though.

    By the judges it was a draw or either a loss by one round to have the score that wide was fishy as * you not see the Al sheik standing up on the tenth his * making buttons when Eubank was struggling in the tenth

    How can you talk about damage or Benn not being hit, his head was twice the size after the fight. Both guys took a lot of damage.

    Usyk is on another level, perfect time to retire. A true GOAT

    AJ x2 - Fury x2 - Dubois x2 … guys completed the game. Should probably just retire now.

    Probably the best boxer I’ve seen in my lifetime … unifying the belt in both cruiserweight and heavyweight considering the size of some of them is a joke.

    If anyone deserves a title shot it’s Parker

    Complete mismatch. Usyk is just class. In every way. A pleasure to watch.

    Full division right now is a mismatch for Usyk. Only thing that can stop him is complacency.

    Dubois deserved his shot at him again but was outclassed completely.

    Parker I think should be next, think it’ll be Fury again though, and that feels pointless to me. 2-0 and talk of a Trilogy.

    FFS they're seriously talking about Jake Paul fighting Anthony Joshua. If Joshua takes that fight in any way seriously surely its a hospital bed for Paul?

    I'm a horrible person because I want it to happen and then he gets utterly annihilated and brain damaged so he has no choice but cease any boxing and becomes a message of fighting is a dangerous game if you step into an arena where you are a relative * trying to face off against actual pros

    He's putting himself in harms way for money so he will reap what he sows in that sense. Can't help but feel it'll be pre-agreed that AJ would treat it like a sparring match and win on points though, everyone gets paid and no harm done.

    Josh Taylor has had to retire because of an eye injury. Good boxer, good luck to him.
