I remember being a fair bit freaked out watching Roy Jones Jr box. I didn't really follow up on him but my recollection was that he was the best in a bit of a boxing nadir.
Magnificent fighter ,And now an insightful commentator, as skilled as any fighter I have seen In any division , most of the discussion here is with the heavyweights, so I stay on topic .
But I’m a big fan of the middleweight division as well , Roy is as good as I have seen -
@kiwiinmelb And now training Chris Eubank Jr. Will eb interesting to see if he makes any tweaks to Eubank's style.

Considering last time i saw Roy, Danny Green tapped him on the head and he fell over, this could go badly if, and it's a big if, Mike can move as well as very short social media videos are indicating.

Canelo is a beast

For Boxing fans in Aus ,
Whyte v Povetkin on Foxtel , free , Ch 505 Sunday between 4-9 am , good score to get this for no charge
main event probably between 7-9 or thereabouts , winner gets a shot at the winner of Fury Wilder 3 .
-
@kiwiinmelb Which is annoying because all they're doing is hoding up Fury v AJ. Lets face it no-one apart from people who listen to Eddie Hearn's garbage and believe everything he has to say wants to watch Fury v Whyte or Povetkin for that matter.

Yep , agree , If fury beats wilder , which he should , i would prefer to watch Fury v AJ, Wilder v Whyte
But tomorrows fight is a fairly decent match up at the next level down ,
I wouldnt pay for it , But for free is a good watch around breakfast time
-
@kiwiinmelb Yeah it is a good fight. Can't stand Whyte personally and hope that Povetkin can turn back the clock but he's well over the hill now and his stamina isn't great these days as was shown in his last fight with Michael Hunter where I thought he was very lucky to get a draw (I had it 116-112 Hunter). Unfortunately I think Whyte will catch him and stop him late on.

Wow
-
Povetkin proving me wrong and proving how clever he still is. He set that trap up beautifully slipping past Whyte's sloppy straight right and catching him with a beaut of an uppercut. Povetkin still proving to best at setting traps in the HW division turning back the clock there. See ya Whyte.

Might be a blessing for the division , (not whyte )
Whyte has a rematch clause with povetkin ,it seems the mandatory fight against the winner of Fury v Wilder only applied to Whyte , Povetkin has to take the rematch against Whyte first , and gets it if he wins again , didnt hear anything about that in the lead up, but eddie was quick to mention it after the fight
while that is all taking place ,It might open a door to get a Fury v AJ fight instead , should they both win their fights .......... hopefully

Thanks for (long time) coming Dillian.
Let's see some real stuff please.

@MiketheSnow Hopefully we don't have to listen to anymore rubbish on how hard done by he has and how wonderful his resume is (which it isn't), and how he fights anybody anywhere (which again isn't true).

This is an interesting read about the deal to make the Parker-Fa fight happen.
