I know one thing. That Bam Bam/ Estrada fight has the making of a classic. 

Got Bam late stoppage on that one, then hopefully go up to Bantam, pick up a title there and work his way up to super-bantam. And hopefully get a Bam vs Inoue in about 18 months time if the Saudi's are willing to put up the money.

Same, though I have learned to never anticipate how it was actually judged there in the arena

That left in the 11th from Catterall, holy 💩

Think the 11th won him the fight, I thought he just edged the 12th as well.

The two judges that gave him 117-111 were a joke

Alot closer than the first fight.

You kind of got this sometimes after an alleged robbery if I recall it happened with Lewis and Holyfield. The second fight was a lot closer than the draw  but they gave it to Lewis by a higher margin to exorcise the ghosts of the previous scorecards/result

It may not have been quite that wide but it certainly wasn't a joke, Catterall clearly won the fight. The judging in the first fight was an example of a joke.

Hopefully the fight doesn’t happen 

Of course it will happen. It will do more PPV than Fury Vs Usyk. Probably have the biggest ratings of any fight in the last 10 years, apart from those including YouTubers.

It's on Netflix, so not sure whether they'll offer a one off PPV for people that would (for some reason) want to see it but don't have a subscription - but the viewing figures will likely be mental. 

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it's happening.

The proposed date for an Usyk vs Fury rematch has already been pushed back from October 12th to December 21st. Got a feeling it won't happen.

It's an "Exhibition" fight.  It's absolutely meaningless, unless you're an idiot who wants to pay money to watch such nonsense. And, I'm guessing there's going to be plenty of idiots interested. 

I wouldn't even watch the highlights.

Bivol vs Beterbiev is the only fight I want to see, so hopefully that gets done. Not interested in Tank vs Inoue, Canelo vs Crawford etc

5 vs 5 this weekend.

The only fight I'd be confident to predict is Richards beating Hutchinson easily.

Slightly favour Ford, Sheeraz, Hrgovic.

Wilder vs Zhang is a case of whoever lands first as far as I'm concerned. Can't see it going beyond 4 rounds.

And although it's not Beterbiev, Bivol is fighting as well.

Normally hate paying PPV, but this is more than worth it.
