    A lot of people think Loma won by two or three rounds also Salido was really dirty in the fight constant low blows and dirty tactics the ref did nothing to stop it so he carried on. He went in there with one game plan be a dirty as he could and do every trick in the book and he got away with it.

    I think Crawford to stop Khan in under 6 rounds. Crawford has underrated power, he will absolutely bamboozle Khan. Khan fights are always entertaining though despite it being a big mismatch it should be a fun watch.

    I agree, Khan will get smashed. Too many miles on the clock, too many KO's on a famously glass chin. Khan's only chance is to come out flying and catch Crawford sleeping. Not gonna happen

    Big fat * caught * hot. Who's honestly surprised. How can a * that size throw so many punches and maintain that output ?
    Hearn says they're still training and planning for Jun1st, wonder who the replacement will be ?

    I know someone is going to post facts and prove me wrong but I can't remember all this pish back when Tyson, Holy field and the likes were boxing. Even the other weights.
    Just seems rife with it.

    I wonder who they will pick to fight AJ now. Bookies favourite is Michael Hunter the cruiserweight who has moved up to heavyweight who Usyk schooled. Eddie Hearn saying Luis Ortiz doesn't want to fight AJ because it's too short notice, Chisora wants the fight as you'd expect.

    I don't understand why the Khan fight is happening. During the week I was listening to boxing pundits being interviewed and they all said
    Crawford is just too good in every aspect of boxing compared to Khan.

    As already mentioned Khan fights can be entertaining, his speed is incredible and it can get streetfight crazy when he goes all out for a KO.

    I guarantee it'll be entertaining....as long as it lasts..

    Crawford will deffo stop him buy hopefully it goes to round 6 or something. We all know the outcome but at the same time it's an intriguing watch..

    3 earliest I reckon..

    I can't wait for the day Josh Kelly get's his jaw broke. Chin out dancing and showing off against nobodies with no power..

    Steps up and he get's badly exposed..

    Dunno if this is close to fight time as I've never heard the phrase Ring Walk before:

    A third failed test. Big
    He's a weird one. Quite humble and actually not that bad, outside the ring. But inside it, I * despise him. So arrogant and cocky, which is poor, especially when you're fighting bums fs. Can't wait till he's demolished and exposed.

    Chisorsa in another stinker of a fight, surprise surprise. Hope big Browne knocks out Allen next. Can't see it, but hoping regardless.

    I don't like showmanship because most folk in any sport will eventually meet their match and it's a sorry sight seeing an over confident sportsman/woman meet their match because they get loads of fans on the way up when they show off giving the impression they're indisputable.

    I prefer folk to impress us with their technique not their patter.

    Even Muhammed Ali the king of all wind up merchants showed us how bitter the war of words can be when they're up against real competition, almost like betraying their self belief when they start scrapping the barrel.
