    Calic is impressive here..

    Don't know if he can sustain it but he's been all wrong for Buatsi so far..

    Don’t think Buatsi thought it would be as difficult a night as this is proving to be!

    The boy was looking gassed. Deffo couldn't sustain it..

    Hard night for Buatsi but came through it well in the end..

    * - * did I just witness? I came here to see if anyone was talking about Lomo v Lopez - which I haven't seen, but * me sideways if that didn't make me laugh and forget about yesterday.

    Everyone’s thoughts on Usyk/Chisora?

    Usyk clearly the better boxer but I think he will be in danger for the first 5 rounds, Chisora will (or should at least) try and lean on him and rough him up early but ultimately he’ll be swinging for the fences early and he packs a * punch for all his flaws.

    Usyk clear favourite and a win catapults him up to the elite tier but the heavyweight division is the most dangerous for the upset.

    Comfortable win for Usyk I reckon. Late stoppage. Footwork is too good for Chisora to get on him. Looking forward to it.

    Usyk will do him but it'll be a bit of a slog I think..

    Never rated Chisora. Usky is levels above but does he carry enough power..

    That was class. Two scorecards a bit close for me though. 8-4 Usyk in my opinion.

    Chisora came out with the kitchen sink first 3 and was getting away with a fair bit of holding the head down and low blows but Usyk's movement and skill was just a different level..

    He fancied it late on as well and his chin showed up well..

    Still remains to be seen can he really bang out the big heavyweights though..

    Had it a clear 8-4 or 9-3 to Usyk. First 3 rounds to Del Boy. Don’t think Usyk will have enough to crack the top 3.

    Who’s the third best for you after Fury and Joshua?
