Anyone watching the fights tonight.

Taylor v Jonas sounds like a cracker, unfortunately I'm not willing to pay $40 to watch the fights tonight. 

It's a brilliant fight and no doubt Katie Taylor will get another lop-sided decision.

To be fair, the judges probably gave Jonas more rounds than she actually won.

Just as an aside, can anyone more involved in boxing tell me why fighters ever opt for the big white "pillow" gloves? Just seems to me anecdotally that no one ever looks good with them, so is it mainly for fighters that have issues with breaking bones in their hands?

I was pleasantly surprised at that, but nowhere near as much as Joseph Parker would be if he knew I've put my ten shillings on Chisora.

What I want to know is what happened to the shiny red 80s boxing gloves and can we have them back please?

How can they charge to watch Derek v Parker?   Not even a title fight

Because Chisora, for some reason, is popular with casual fans. There's something about him that people like; he's never been booed into the ring.

Over here it's because Parker is the only boxer NZ have in any class and he is extremely popular.

This fight isn’t a patch on the women’s fight before it. Would like to see Parker end Chisora’s career

Not sure the one scorecard was that wide but felt Parker just about won. Just
