    Would like to see the skeete rematch with his head 100% on the job.

    Not much in it for skeete mind bar a good pay day.
  • Full fight is here. Well worth a watch:

  • Anyone watching the Degale fight? This undercard is cracking!

    De Gale fight was fantastic. Could've been scored either way.

    As for Mayweather , what a bell end.

    Yep agreed about Mayweather.

    I think Jack did just enough to win especially being in New York. I would've thought the tight rounds would've gone his way. The scoring was a breath of fresh air though.

    Mayweather's comments took the edge and pride out of the post bout preamble ..........absolutely uncalled for and incredibly wide of the mark, what was the man thinking of?
    Bizarre!

    I've just watched it and a draw was fair, I'm glad there was no home scoring going on. Both cam make a claim. De Gale was hurt in the last 3 rounds though

    Linares V. Crolla take 2. Normally I'd say Linares on points, but i cant remember the last big fight i called right! My prediction is that it will be a decent close fight. The two fighters seem to respect each other as well.

    Can't believe neither the ref or Joe Gallagher didn't pull Morrison out there , he was getting battered.
  • Crolla while taller has 2" less reach. Haven't seen any skillset that can alieviate that.

    Linares will win this by more than the first one. I hope I'm proved wrong but can't see it.

    Think Linares gets the stoppage this time, late on.
    Round 10/11

    Hope I'm wrong and Crolla wins it.

    2-1 on that sky tv will still be up Katie Taylor's arse this time tomorrow.

    Rather peeved that the Crolla fight is going to be too late for me when they wasted time over-promoting the women's game

    Cagey opening 2 rounds. Linares edging it there in the 2nd with better work. Crowd are fantastic for Crolla.

    Crolla outclassed. Impressed by Linares

    Great show from Linares. I was impressed with the way Crolla came back in the 8th after the knock down in the 7th, but it was a one off &, sadly, he doesn't have a knockout punch against an elite boxer. Very classy boxing from Linares.

    118-109, had it the same as all 3 judges. Only gave Crolla the 1st and the 8th.

    Linares is a class class fighter.

    Bring on the Garcia fight. That will be something special.

    Went up to Manchester to see Linares more than Crolla and he didn't let me down. Got to be up there with one of the best performances I have seen live. I have seen Linares twice now and would go again if he fought Flanagan. A totally different class. Still think Garcia beats him though.

    I think Linares weakness is in the later rounds where he sometimes switches off a little. Against a bigger puncher such as Garcia I think he may get caught.

    I'm more excited about Lomachenko stepping up to lightweight. I think he could beat all of them.

    The thought of them all fighting each other is boxing porn.

    I also have Loma top of the tree and reckon Garcia and Linares are type of opponents to make him an all time great.

    Absolutely agree.

    I've seen Lomachenko live and it was the most impressive performance from a boxer I've seen. For me he is the best pound for pound in the world (especially after Gonzalez lost his unbeaten record).

    It's the whole thing about him fighting like he's in the matrix. Would love to see him fight live. Maybe he'll chose the easier route to a world title and fight Flanagan over here first.

    Looking forward to Liam Williams v Liam Smith tomorrow.
    Proper 50/50 fight.

    Surprised to see Smith came in almost 2 pound over weight. Was given an hour to reweigh but didn't attempt to get the weight off.
    Fight still on but interim title only on the line for Williams.

    I'm interested to see how this one goes, not just this fight but the show as a whole.

    Sky have been taking the piss with how much they have cut boxing coverage along with Eddie Hearn and BT now have given Frank Warren a bit more clout to properly compete.

    Adam Smith and Hearn saying "British boxing is booming" makes me feel very hateful
  • Lomachenko took it up another level last night.

    Hearing him saying he wants to come to Britain post fight was very exciting.

    Please let it happen.

    The bit where he did the matador was some next level showboating.
