Nice to have a Brummie to support

I think he's Small Heath, but he doesn't seem to be a twat about it like Gavin, so hope he wins.

[dave.woodhall]

He's certainly looking like he will.

[paul_e]

the few rounds I saw Kal looked a really good boxer.

Alejandro González, the fighter who knocked down Carl Frampton twice in the first round of their fight last year, was murdered in Mexico yesterday.

Anyone fancy being disparaging about womens' sports?

I never get why people go there on holiday given the amount of violence seemingly surrounding the place.

Just watched about of Parker v Ruiz Jnr. Just 2 fat blokes fighting each other.

[paul_e]

Don't particularly like either of them or think they're great fighters but whyte/chisora has been a great fight because they're going after each other.

I've been pretty underwhelmed by Whyte.

[cdbearsfan]

This has been hugely enjoyable. A breath of fresh air compared to some of the tentative heavyweight fights I've seen in the last few years.

[paul_e]

I've been pretty underwhelmed by Whyte.

Good chin to be fair, he's taken some hammer blows and stayed up. It's hard not to admire the fortitude of both of them, this is a rare fight in this division.

[cdbearsfan]

That was superb, hopefully it'll be a draw.

[paul_e]

yep, a draw is the fair result there, what a superb fight.

[dave.woodhall]

I had it 114-114 but you can't argue with any of the judges. It was a great fight.

[PaulWinch again]

Molina was massively outclassed.
