I do hope Josh Warrington loses tonight.

Not keen Dave?

Horrible, dirty fighter with horrible, dirty supporters.

I assume you're referring to Luke Ayling there, who cemented his reputation as being a bit of a tit. The whole Leeds United thing with Warrington is very cringeworthy, and I see your point about dirty because the first headbutt definitely helped him on his way. It didn't look deliberate to me though.

Very impressive from Savannah Marshall, Claressa Shields next.

Sky Sports are showing Hearns v Hagler now.

Tonight BBC are showing a documentary by US film maker Ken Burns on Muhammad Ali, as there have probably been more programmes on Ali than anybody else, not sure how much it is gonna tell us that we don't already know. It has however had very good reviews, it starts from his childhood 8 programmes in all BBC2 10.20pm.

Fightzone are showing a bill this afternoon headed by a British flyweight title fight and it's free for three months.

Did anyone watch Triple G just now? Murata hit him with a liver shot in the second and he just withered, and I thought this was going to be when he really got old. But GGG does what GGG does and domanted after the 4th. I would still steer clear of Canelo if I were him though.

Daniel Kinehan has been hit with sanctions by the US government. I'd say there's a few boxing people getting twitchy.

Anywhere but Vegas, LA or Mexico, and he won that first fight between them, for me. In a rather sad move, I even scored it, and had GGG the winner by four rounds. I also scored the second and made it a draw, but by the time the cards were announced, I'd given up on a fair judges' decision in a Canelo fight.

Canelo is a great fighter, but he's also dodgy as fuck, imo. No chance Golovkin beats him without a stoppage, and, credit to Canelo's chin, that would've happened by now in one of the first two.

Three cards on TV tonight which is daft given how many weekends we go without. Connor Benn should win easily. 

[Villa Lew]

Conor Benn fighting last night and it wasn't on Sky or BT pathetic.

[Gareth]

Watched Nathan Heaney….like when you used to watch Paul Warhurst play up front for Wednesday and think ‘how does that work’ he’s game but will surely get found out at some point against a proper fighter

[dave.woodhall]

Just as well. DAZN are welcome to it.

Is Benn jnr the same weight classification as Eubank jnr?

Is Benn jnr the same weight classification as Eubank jnr?

He's welter, Eubank is middle.
