I'd rather see Yarde-Buatsi first.

I also watched the Conor Benn fight highlights. Haney apparently next which would not end well for Benn. Nowhere near that level

Only watched the highlights but brutal KO by Joshua of Ngannou. Just highlights a fighter needs a defense especially when fighting someone with the punching power of Joshua.

 

[LoveRapt]

On that showing it looks like Joshua is back to his very best, excellent win.

Parker v Zhang ,,,,looks like they will get it on again after Parker just edged that one after being down a couple of times

Zhang looked like he felt hard done by and always has the (Big Bang} punchers chance in the re match ,but Parker is the better fighter

Good competitive fight last night between Canelo and Jaime Munguia. Munguia had his moments but Canelo was just too strong and experienced. Beautiful left hook by Canelo in the 4th to put Munguia on the canvass.

Inoue survives a knockdown in the first round and from then on was pretty spectacular up to the 6th round KO of Nery. He is something special.

Watched Lauren Price v Jess McCaskill live on BBC Wales last night

Was really surprised by the ease with which see won against such an aggressive scrapper as the yank

Such a pity it was stopped the way it was but McCaskill's eye was a mess before the accidental clash of heads, due to the accuracy of Price's jab

Her speed and footwork was just to much for McCaskill's type of fight by playing into Price's southpaw style

Monster is a very apt name for Inoue, he really is a treat to watch

I believe Nery is the only fighter to have had Inoue down in his whole career 

By was he made to pay for it

So, this week is the big fight. The one that was going to happen, then not going to happen, then was happening, then got called off and now is happening.

Smurf v Bratt, sorry, I mean Fury v Usyk in which is probably the biggest fight that's taken place in my lifetime.

I'm a massive fan of Usyk. He boxes smart and nothing fazes him. He does not really get caught up with all the b/s that leads up to fights either.

I back Usyk and hope he wins. 

The Fury camp are arrogant and frankly full of morons and weapons.

I'm a massive Usyk fan especially after seeing him destroy Tony Bellew and schooling Anthony Joshua twice plus he does not get involved in all this b/s that we have seen with the Fury's week. But with it being the biggest fight for a generation, you would want the Brit to win but not after this weeks antics from John Fury all the way to Tyson last night. He's an absolute disgrace to the sport, I hope Usyk knocks him out.

The thing is, Fury does not to do all the crap he's been doing this week because he can easily be one of the greatest heavy weight champions in history.

Looking forward to this. I’m torn, I like both fighters, Fury ***** me off at times but I still like him (not as much after this week) I think his reach for jabs should be the advantage but I think this is going all the way. I wouldn’t be fussed if Usyk knocked him out to be fair

Thought that was excellent from Usyk. If anything I’d say the SD is a bit flattering to Fury as I thought Usyk won it by a couple of rounds. Fury had an excellent spell rounds 4-6 but outside that Usyk managed that fight perfectly. Suppose the nature of the result means they’ll almost certainly go with the rematch.

[valiant_593]

Great fight. Usyk really is outstanding. Thought fury had him in the middle rounds but kept letting him off after landing punches. I thought it should have been stopped round 9. No idea how Fury can recover so quickly when he was clearly gone. Not sure how the judges called it that close. I had it by 5 rounds to Usyk. Look forward to the rematch.

Great result for Usyk. I honestly think fury hasn't looked great in his last 3 fights 

Beating the two top British heavyweights. Not bad for a "cruiserweight"
