Yeah, was half-watching. Seemed to me like he could have continued for a bit but it was only a matter of time, and you can understand why they didn't want to take any chances following recent events.

Taylor is a brilliant fighter & that was a cracking fight - hopefully a rematch will be forthcoming

Was thinking the same, on both fronts.

If you needed proof that boxing is corrupt then Smith v Ryder last night is your irrefutable evidence.

The general consensus from the pundits there was that Smith won, but it was a tight one and there were one or two rounds in it at most.  I just couldn't see how anyone could come to the conclusion that Smith won the fight by six rounds though.

Smith edged it, just, by 6 rounds was a complete farce.

And tonight we have a half-full NIA, or Hughie Fury not fighting in Monaco.

That was a stoppage and a half.

Andy Ruiz is 2/1 to beat Anthony Joshua on Saturday, That must be the value bet of the weekend.

Really don't know what to expect in the Joshua fight tonight.  Fighters like Tyson and Lewis lost to massive underdogs, but they were more caught by big knockout punches.  Joshua fell apart in that last fight though, so it could well be that there are demons there which will resurface tonight.

I suppose there is the case of Wladimir Klitschko who suffered some similar losses earlier on in his career and came back to be a long reigning champion. 

I just think it is all on the line for Joshua tonight.  He loses, especially in a similar manner to the first time and I can't really see a way back for him.

It is a huge weight difference. It’ll be interesting to see how AJ goes.

That's nearly as good as when Lennox Lewis use to walk out to Crazy Baldheads by Bob Marley.
