It's probably because you're moving into the territory of guys who are just as quick but have more firepower as well.  I think over Middleweight and you get into the power guy's than speed more often.

Yeah, I suppose it's the first big 7lb jump.  I was just thinking the other day when we were talking about Broner how often you have these guys who look like killers at 135-140 and then they just have no power at all up at 147.

Katie Taylor just on her walk. This has been decent so far...

I am not advocating gambling here but Betfred have a great offer on the Josh Warrington fight. Bet on Lara, lay it on the exchanges and you will have qualifying loss of pennies but a free bet of a fiver per knockdown.

I think Warrington is one of the most overrated boxers around, I expect Lara to win and cant believe hes the outsider going into this one.

Warrington thought he was in the scuffle your mate got into so headbutted Lara instead of punching him leaving a pretty bad cut ;D

Have you seen the video they posted of him on the pads? I'd be seriously concerned about him going into the ring on that evidence.

It’s much closer than his scorecard I think.

Obviously no idea about the first five rounds but the rest are v close though I thought Sam won the final two and being the home fighter will probably get it.
Brilliant stuff from both
