Sad to see that Leon Spinks has died of cancer. He was 67.
For those who haven't seen it, this is a good piece going in-depth on Kinehan.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/1y3kadznaf/the-suspected-gangster-at-the-heart-of-world-boxingCriminals running boxing is up there with bears/woods, popes/catholics, but the extent of their control or influence is something to behold. I get the feeling it's more laundering than ruining boxing, or would be were it not for the fact that it's all clearly legit and, erm, nothing to see here. Feels a bit like having a go at Hitler for his vegetarianism (I know, pedants) as the drugs and murders are more of a concern than whether they manage some punchers. But maybe I'm missing something.
Barrett v Martinez is the best sporting action I've seen all day.
First fight of the year, first corrupt decision.
