That was a bit of a dramatic ending.

Bizarre. Not seen that before.

If that was about the guy who hurt his back that was just terribly unfortunate, he was probably 10 ahead when his back went so you've got to feel for him.  In the heavies the Whyte one was a odd ending with the american seemingly giving up after taking one on the ear and Joshua desperately needs a fight against someone decent, 13 in 13 but still only fought 25 rounds as a professional, it's an impressive record but it's doing nothing to show how good he can be, hopefully Whyte will give him something to think about in December.

Totally agree about Joshua. Pretty impressive again against a mismatched opposition. Personally I would like to see him take Tyson Fury apart once Fury has lost to Klitschko.

I know you never put enough on a bet you win, but given the odds and the fight being in America, Jack to beat Groves should have been a put the mortgage on it rather than a couple of quid.

[dave.woodhall]

It wasn't the most promising-looking bill but so far there's been a good fight and a great turnround.

Sixth round of Kal's fight when they started wiping that snot.

Just after the Macklin fight, was that Zulu chants or the crowd booing him?

A wild stab in the dark and I premise this by not knowing the fight you're talking about; if there were Noses in the crowd I know which way I'd hazard my guess.

Haha, I know that. I just wondered though as the commentators said Macklin was getting jeered, which would be a shame.

[dave.woodhall]

There was a bit of booing during and after the Macklin fight because his opponent put him down with a low blow but he milked it for all it was worth.

A quite frankly, bizarre interview with Tyson Fury:

I saw that. He's talked about his depression before a few times too and it looks like he's getting worse.

If he loses to Klitschko, which I think he will, then I worry he may do something pretty drastic. Who is he surrounding himself with? He talks like he is in the middle of a mentally difficult episode and people he is close to need to step up.

Artur Abraham must have made his debut on the Louis-Schmeling undercard.

[FrankyH]

Great fight on Channel 5 .

[joecrow]

Good card at the 02 so far tonight. Luke campbell will learn a lot from that defeat. Surely last chance saloon for Bellew, always liked him so hope he pulls it off.

[dave.woodhall]

Saddest thing you could ever see over on Boxnation.

Fantastic win for a Enzo hope Roy Jones Jr is alright after that punch.
