@African-Monkey I’m tipping Spence to unify the division, and hopefully we get to see Spence v Crawford
-
@kiwiinmelb I'd love for that to happen too as it's the big fight in the division but as usual, the promoters will stop it from happening which happens a lot in boxing. The only way it'll happen is if Crawford leaves Bob Arum and signs with Al Haymon. I feel that after Spence beats Porter (which he should), then we'll get Spence v Pacquiao next year and whatever the result, I think Spence goes to 154 as he's struggling to make weight at 147 and is massive for the weight anyway.

Not so fast Dillian
Dillian Whyte facing lengthy ban from boxing after 'failed drugs test'
Dillian Whyte is alleged to have failed the test after beating Óscar Rivas at the O2 but Eddie Hearn has said he was ‘cleared to fight’

Cracking fight
-
Great effort from Yarde against all odds to the point where he almost had Kovalev out of there in round 8. Kovalev also did well to find a second wind and take Yarde out in the end in a fight where he was winning on his jab for most of it.

Interesting, joe and Higgins had some negative things to say a few weeks back hinting they were being stitched up by Hearn .
You do wonder if they have pulled the pin.

Barry had been vocal about wanting a tough referee who would not let the fight get out of control. They weren't happy with the ref in the Whyte fight. Maybe there is more to the story.

Surely at this stage in Parker's career he should be prepared to fight Chisora in Chisora's garden with Chisora's mother reffing?

Either JP is genuinely ill or injured
Or he has been offered something better ie. the Saudi card- as a reserve incase of AJ injury or a big undercard for much more $$
Not for a second do I think JP got scared of Chisora like some are saying on other forums... he isn't a 12 year old kid he has fought tough guys before, thats a weak theory -
I doubt he is on the Saudi card, with Hearn promoting both events,
I actually think he is genuinely sick, but threw it out there there is the possibility he pulled out because overall they haven’t seemed that happy, I don’t think he and chisora were that impressed they were on the undercard when most people paying ppv for that event were more interested in their fight. A way for Eddie to pay them less. That has been a talking point in boxing circles.

Errol Spence flipped his Ferrari, seems to be questionable reports on his condition, the footage does not look great https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-car-accident-videos-surface-horrific-crash--143271

Spence, who successfully defended his belts in a thrilling showdown with Shawn Porter in Los Angeles last month, was not wearing a seat belt and at some point was ejected from the vehicle as it flipped over several times.
Retard.

Worth a watch, the first fight I distinctly remember was Holyfield v Tyson. Really was Good v evil at the time.
I listened to this the other day in the gym ,
Evander although such a tough dude , had an innocence about him, reminded me of bubba from forest gump, my momma used to say this, my mumma always said that .

@kiwiinmelb Sounds like a pretty incredible woman. Really liked his talk on forgiveness too.

By all reports he is a Really good fella , no one has a bad word to say about him, in a sport where it isn’t always that way
