Cunningham almost stopped Fury. Chisora's chin is up there with the best, some of those accurate left hands would trouble anyone.

      Can't believe Chisora thought he won that, he definitely won some rounds, but don't see any case for him winning the fight overall. Wonder what Compubox says. It's hilarious how the world works out, can't believe he's wishing people safety and good mental health. What happened to the guy that spat water in Vitali's face


      I thought he won the first two rounds and a couple of others. Had Usyk by about three in the end. Was a good fight and Chisora bothered him more than I expected he might.

        Recorded it and only watched it through now, pretty brilliant punch and a good fight overall. Davis is a quality fighter, southpaw too, could build something impressive if he keeps on the straight and narrow out of the ring.

          Didn't even realise that Brook was fighting Crawford. Crawford shows why he's probably P4P the best. I have a lot of time for the Ukrainian's but Crawford is something else. Brook tried to turn it into a tactical battle and Crawford switched his tactics by switching southpaw and ended him. The telling blow was a short half jab/half hook that landed under the eye, not even the chin and it almost knocked Brook out of the ring. Shows the timing and power of Crawford.

          Him and Spence have to do it sooner or later. Will see if he's still the same as before the accident. Garcia is a solid fighter and will show if Spence is as good as he was, if so him and Crawford is one hell of a fight. Really looking forward to Garcia, Spence regardless.

          Brook should fight Kahn and then retire. He's a quality fighter but he's shown that right at the top he comes slightly short. No shame in that at all, he's had a good career. Let's have the Kahn fight for the fans and the payday, then he might as well call it quits. He could win a title against a lesser champ, but in all seriousness we know he's one of the better fighters at welter/light middle but the top 4 or 5 in those weight classes will beat him most of the time.

            Crawford is a joy to watch.

                    I'm guessing about 11 pm - give the Americans on the East Coast time to settle down for the evening.

                        This Sheeraz guy reminds me of a David Price. He's lanky with that awkward robotic style.

                          Weird circumstances for boxing. Got to take the edge off.

                            Thought Joyce would be looking for his short twisting uppercut on the inside. Also surprised he's thrown quite a few of his hooks which are among the slowest and most sluggish punches in boxing. I know all heavyweights are slow, but that's something else
