Some proper cunts in there moving in to throw punches only after someone is on the floor

The fact that the fighters in the ring were both stood watching the fighting in the crowd for a few moments pretty much says it all.

I also despise that there was a reasonable world title fight on the undercard, and Fury's farce makes more headlines. It's a ****ing joke. That incident in the audience is ridiculous, British boxing needs to sort it out. Rarely/never happens in the US or Germany, seems there's a brawl every second fight night.

Spoke to a mate who was there and right in the area where it kicked off. He said everyone in 'row A', B etc and had paid decent money for those seats and a load of coked up and pissed up lads rushed from the back to just stand in front of them, an argument broke out and then all that kicked off.

Ate, aye let's not pretend that this doesn't happen at shows up and down the country.

Crawford absolutely schooled Jeff Horn last night. Interesting to see how he gets on at this weight as there’s some good fighters in the division, looked bloody good last night though

How would people rank these in P4P stakes?

Crawford
Lomachenko
Golovkin

For me it is in the order you have them.

Fury is one of my least favourite people on the planet, I find him completely dispicable. Can't wait for him to get knocked out. He has a decent grasp of the basics of boxing, but he's the most unentertaining fighter going, in addition to him being a complete and utter bellend. Terrible for the sport.

To be fair, he went to Germany and beat Klitschko in his own back yard.

I'll grant you in the ring, he gets the job done, but to suggest he has no knowledge of boxing is very very unfair

I think you misunderstood what I meant, I was actually giving him credit for having some boxing IQ - he uses his height, controls distance and moves well for someone his size. I just think he's an atrocious boxer. If he were in any other weight class, I doubt he'd be ranked in the top 10 by any major governing body. Wilder for example is someone who has complete disregard for the mechanics of boxing.

Fair play to him for beating Wlad, he won and it's done. But the state of Wlad that night was awful, he couldn't pull the trigger. The result was due to Klitschko being so off his game, rather than anything that Fury did. The fact that Wlad looked so awful and landed at the same percentage according to compubox stats says a lot. I think the fact that Wlad activated the rematch immediately despite looking so bad says a lot.

Other than that, who else has Fury fought? Fringe contenders, most of them being fairly mediocre. Perhaps his wins over Chisora and a deteriorating Cunningham are noteworthy. He was smart for Chisora 2 - but it was like watching paint dry. Cunningham dealt him a heavy knock down and was ahead on the scorecard. The stoppage was quite controversial as he was holding/leaning on him whilst punching and the ref probably should have separated them.

Fury has basically no power; he throws flicking, slapping 'punches' and not in a Calzaghe kind of a way. Why do you think Bellew is so eager to get in the ring with him? His style doesn't lend itself to exciting fights and perhaps it's just me but there's nothing appealing about his style. He talks **** outside of the ring and does his stupid batman stunts to get people on board, but his actual performances in the ring are uninspired. I can't recall an exciting fight he's been in.

And then that's just compiled by his general homophobic, racist, deluded, stupid and strange rants in the press or on social media.
