What a farce, what type of match up was that? Obv had to last that long to get his full fee.

Fury is still an utter utter idiot

Yep Gareth.  He’s been acting like it’s the comeback of some great champion, but he is anything but.  He had the world at his feet when he beat Klitschko, but instead of going on to unify belts in sold out stadiums as Joshua has done, he immediately began talking about retiring, fell badly out of shape and failed a drugs test. 

Comes back tonight and instead of putting on a really professional and clinical performance, he wants to clown around.  I don’t think he will ever get to meet Joshua as I think th3 likes of Dillian Whyte will beat him before he gets anywhere near that level.

Looking at it a bit more objectively, he took a couple of rounds to feel his way back and then showed flashes of what he used to have. We'll know in his next fight whether he's still got it but it has to be a live opponent who'll last more than two rounds (which means not Price) and hit back (so no more cruisers). Whatever happens, though, he'll sell tickets. He's the biggest attraction in the division.

It's turning into a cracker. I'm very impressed with Taylor.

First time I’ve seen him have to take a bit back, looks good

I hope it's not a hometown 118-109 or similar scorecard.

I'm so far from being an expert and only started watching during round 6, but seemed pretty close with Taylor better from what I saw.

I'd give it Taylor by a round.

I had him by 3 rounds but those cards don’t reflect how close it was

That was disgraceful. British boxing is so corrupt it's beyond a joke.

I see 20 year Englishman Daniel Dubois, the chap they're calling the next heavyweight sensation, beat Tom Little, 5th round stoppage, to take the English title. It's now 8 fights 8 KOs.

Frank Warren reckons he's the best young heavyweight prospect he's seen.
