    Even more one sided than I thought, and I expected a one sided beat down and stoppage.

    Boxing is still the most underdeveloped ‘real’ martial art in MMA, by a distance. I know Askren isn’t representative, but still....

    I remember at the peak of the Conor vs Floyd hype someone telling me that Askren could beat Canelo in stand up if he was allowed to kick him :giggle1:

    Definitely not fake for me. You can see Paul land a big shot that jolts Askrens head back. He gets up but he’s wobbly as *. Could’ve continued but would’ve been down again and likely out seconds later.

    Given what unfolded vs Sevco this afternoon, this fight actually made for relatively pleasant viewing.

    Wonder if the people expecting Askren to smash him have actually seen Askren fight.

    Apparently Hearn has indeed left sky for DAZN. Always good seeing sky get * over but sneaky Hearn will have that 1.99 per month up in no time.

    Aye I seen that. AJ only has 2 fights left with Sky, surely he'll jump after that ? They'll need something to draw the casuals in.

    Fingers crossed. Seen a Fury interview from the other day, he's looking trim.

    Aye I've turned it off..

    What's the point in watching these bill's if you can just call every fight for the promoter's man..

    He was beaten to the jab, pressured, out of idea's and stiff. Didn't trouble the pole until the last dig in a 6 rounder and gets a scorecard like that..

    Don't know how these away fighter's find tge motivation when they put month's in in camp, away from family to travel over seas, do a number....only to be robbed of a win..

    That result was up there with Smith v Ryder. A * disgrace, that fat * McDonnell should be sacked on the spot, corrupt *.
    Literally nobody thought Adeleye won that fight, he won 1 round at most.

    Happens all the time. Just makes the bill's boring to me..

    That fat * O'Connor from Birmingham. The other snakey * that done Groves in Froch 1. You could go on all day for worse than them as well..

    It's infuriating, * ruins the sport.

    Who you fancy for this ? Cash is massive favourite, I don't see why.

    No sure mate. I've turned it off because of that result..

    Bentley looked good in his last fight if I remember right. Fought the boy from Manchester and battered him..

    Buzzing for Micky Conlan the morra. Home from work early way cans. Rebs on all day! Wee man should stop him. Needs a big performance as the big fights just round the corner.

    * me - Mayweather v Logan Paul.

    Will generate gazillions and there won’t be a boxing fan on the planet remotely interested.

    One half of the audience (teenage boys) will want to see Paul get annihilated and the other half (teenage girlies) will want to see him get lucky.

    I’m actually in team ‘get lucky’. Would be * hilarious if Mayweather sleep-walked into a freak KO - what a way to ruin such a carefully built legacy!
