Probably for another time to answer Dave, but where does your love of boxing come from?

[Gareth]

Nick Ball's getting a bit of a lesson here.

Guess a draw would have been taken at halfway

Lo, the Oracle of the pugilistic arts does it again.

I was brought up with it. My granddad was a pro boxer, my dad was an amateur.

[Smirker]

Birmingham needs a world star of boxing.

Baffles me a bit that we seem underrepresented in this sport.

Are we and if so, why?

A big part of why I can watch UFC is because I get support Leon Edwards. I'd like a Birmingham fighter to get behind. I know of the Yafai brothers but they're not world stars and doesn't look like they will be.

[dave.woodhall]

It's never been a boxing city. Even when Kal was world champion he never fought in Birmingham.

[Risso]

Zhang’s doing well here.

[dave.woodhall]

Parker's got back into it well.

[Risso]

Zhang’s corner tells him he needs a knock out. What does he do? Absolutely nothing, barely a punch thrown.

[dave.woodhall]

I make that 114-112 Parker.

[aldridgeboy]

What a punch that was !!

[tomd2103]

What a punch that was !!

Tough one as he probably shouldn't have been allowed to carry on after the second knockdown, but it would have been a big call to stop it at that point.

[Rory]

Well done AJ. That's exactly how non-boxers should be dispatched at that level.

[aldridgeboy]

Let’s see if Mike Tyson does that to Jake Paul in the latest farce fight
