I never liked Bellew but he made the most of his abilities and did more than all but a few fighters manage. I hope he holds onto his money and stays retired.

Not really seen all that much of Usyk to be honest, but I thought in the build up and again tonight that he has very unnerving look and manner about him.He looked very menacing against Bellew. Even in the rounds he didn't win, you could see that he had a lot in reserve and he was on the font foot the entire time. Bellew did well, and can now retire with his head held high, with his senses intact and his bank balance in good health.

Lights out Bellew.
Frankie Gavin fought for the European title last night. He came in five pounds overweight and got stopped in the fourth.
He also got there twelve hours before the fight, travelling over on the ferry as he doesn't like flying, and without his trainer after they had a disagreement. What a waste of talent indeed, and I can see him carrying on, dropping down the bill with every fight because he can't afford to retire.
And that was a 'controversial' scorecard.

Kal Yafai's not exactly a great ticket seller.

For every purist who fully appreciates the skill and technique of a boxer like Yafai, there are a number of others who just want to see a tear up between two loudmouths who bait each other for months in the build up.
