And tonight should see a fight of the year contender.
It certainly wouldn't have been Gamal Yafai u were referring to.....i was completely taken aback as to how awful he was.

Lara's a one-handed punk, in my opinion.

I thought the towel came in prematurely, but I'll never question a trainer (who is there and can see things better than any of us) for putting the wellbeing of their fighter first.

I thought Leigh looked knackered already and that knockout was clean. He would have been flattened and god knows what else if he'd been allowed to continue I think. Trainer did well to save him for another day.

I thought he could've survived the last few seconds of the round and then seen what could be done in the minute off, but equally, he could've taken a serious shot in those few seconds, so you're probably right.

The guy had the towel in his hand for ages. Leigh was right by him so he had a clear view, once the ref looked to continue the towel went in. Correct decision

So Conor Benn's high consumption of eggs has been accepted by the WBC as the reason for failing a drug test, eggtraordinary, not sure if the BBBC and the UK Anti-Doping will see it that way.

Honestly box office for this? To be fair they’ve played it well, but bloody hell.

Best thing I've read about the fight:

'Popstar Drake shared a screenshot of his $400,000 (£335,000) bet on a Paul KO win, while Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin tweeted: "There's no better way to celebrate your half birthday than to watch Jake Paul get punched in the head repeatedly.'

Paul was better than I thought he'd be; he's the sort of fighter who if he sold tickets would win a few against journeymen then lose to the first opponent who fights back and pack it all in. If Fury knuckled down he might, given that he's got the right connections, get to English title level. In reality both will have a couple more fights against YouTubers then retire to count their money.
