Yeah we're going to have to find a new country where all these elections come from ;D

Dorticos is no mug and he handled him like you said. Don't think he'd have much luck up at HW but he's elite at CW for sure.

Pacman is 8-1 on so the bookies have learned their lesson unfortunately.
I recall him flattening Charr up at HW. Breidis was over 16 stone 😮 I'd give him a good shot against Wilder if I'm honest. Fury and AJ would be steps too far though.

Best electrician job ever mate 🤣 everyone raves about Usyk and he barely beat this chap. Doesn't get enough credit IMO. If he had battered Bellew you'd be his best mate too.

It doesn't, that and it depends on what the judges are looking for in terms of scoring. There's no one set of rules to how a fight should be scored.

My only thing with him is he caught Dorticos and Usyk with some good strong shots that I think you'd be expecting to produce a KO up at HW. So I wonder if he'll take his power up with him.

I might have said the same about Usyk though to be fair until he put Bellew into the first row.

Sad if so. Should have been set for life after the money from the Leonard fight (although that is a long time ago now).

At least he’s not announcing a comeback

Jesus. Hagler is trying to smile, such is his desperation to make sales. This is serious lads  :(

That said, I read somewhere that he has managed his money well and lives in Italy. I hope that is the case.

Think Hearns ended up having to sell all his memorabilia to pay off a tax bill a few years ago.  Hopefully it's not the same with Hagler, although I bet he could make a few quid through TV appearances etc. if he had to, so hopefully this is not out of desperation.

Thankfully it looks like he was worth $45m earlier this year, so he’ll have done well if he’s burnt through that in the last 6 months

Then it's definitely for charity then if he's worth 45 million.  Imagine owning the robe Hagler wore to fight any of the other 4 Kings?

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/765248/uk-tv-vasyl-lomachenko-vs-teofimo-lopez-terence-crawford-vs-kell-brook/

Bob Arum laying into Eddie Hearn basically saying Sky puts up any crap he offers up but currently neither Sky or BT or any other UK broadcaster is showing the Lomachenko v Lopez fight on October 17th.

Also said that Terence Crawford v Kell Brook is being finalised for  November 14th.

Lomachenko-Lopez is £9.99 on Fite tv. Be amazed if that does 10,000 buys at that time in the morning.

Just seen Bob Arum slaughter Sky for not buying it in the UK, then praise ESPN for not showing it on PPV in the US. A non heavyweight fight featuring 2 non British fighters at that time in the morning during the current climate is not a PPV fight here.

Lomachenko is a great fighter, arguably P4P but the interest in that fight won’t interest the masses here, present company excluded.

Yeah financially it makes sense but it doesn't need to be PPV mate. Just put it on Sky Sports "Fight Night" programme on their usual boxing channel or BT Sport 1.

Heck why not ITV4?  ;D

Been denied by Wilders camp, God knows what’s going on but I doubt Wilder will let the opportunity to fight Fury again go. He got made to look stupid, he’s gona want to save face and if all that fails he’ll pocket 10’s of millions of dollars so it’s in his best interest to fight.

Presumably he'll have to fight some plumber now then as a mandatory, then the way is clear for an AJ fight next year?  Assuming the world goes back to normal at some point because there's no way that one happens behind closed doors.
