    That was a brilliant fight. Not too clued up on my boxing but love watching really good fighters going toe to toe and end up getting caught up in it every so often, watching all the documentaries, films etc :56:. Watched a good one about Roberto Duran recently, guy seemed as hard as nails

    For the clued up guys out there. Who are some of the best pound for pound boxers going about at the moment??

    And if any of you could point me in the direction of any decent films/docs it would be much appreciated. Cheers.

    The women’s fight there was decent. Thought the black lassie would’ve got the decision but it was close.

    Mick Conlan fighting now, solid first round switching stances and leathering fellas body, looks a class or 2 above from this guy.

    Only a matter of time before Conlan wears him down

    Here's hoping for Conlan to win and Frampton to get KTFO

    I don't think Conlan carries much power but that was some lovely combinations to the body and switching upstairs to finish that..

    Some quality work..

    That big Croatian heavyweight is a scary dude.

    Looking forward to both big fights tonight. Think Povetkin poses a huge risk for Whyte who I believe has been criminally under rated for a while.

    Hope taylor gets a clean win here, for what it's worth I don't think she won the first fight but she is still the superior boxer and needs to show it tonight .

    They should call this Belgian lassie the Terminator, she is absolutely relentless no matter how much she’*.

    Never seen a tougher women boxer.

    98-93 is a shambles

    Much, much, closer than that result and that’s from a Taylor fan.

    Taylor much more technical, much cleaner, much more efficient but Persoon is an absolute beast. What an incredible engine, heart and will to win.

    I never heard the result, but watched most the fight, was never big as that.

    Taylor looked classier but that other lads was relentless.
