    Great action though tbf, will be involved in some crackers but is going to get sparked out sooner rather than later.

    Campbell should lose, but at least he has this opportunity rather than fighting in small venues in Philadelphia. John Joe if he had made better choices could be getting these kind of bouts.

    Don't think it'll take much to improve on Nikitin tbh. He's horrendous. Conlan would have knocked him out.

    Frampton confirmed for Philly 10th of August. Hope its as good as his last trip to the east coast!

    I think we all knew he wouldn't retire after the Warrington fight. Still feel there's a wee bit more in him yet.

    Opponent was stopped by Jordan Gill in 3 rounds a few fights back and is 26-8, pretty poor even if it is a fight to shake off a few cobwebs.

    What are people's thoughts on Frampton and Conlan's fights? On paper they should be comfortably winning, or is there a potential bananna skin somewhere?

    My worry with Frampton is motivation, looking towards his next fight and him being on the slide.

    What's the update on this, still not officially announced with Campbell saying a few times...news coming.

    I presume the date is in stone but arrangments with the venue? I remember hearne saying they would do it in Hull (KC Stadium) or 02 London

    Any thoughts on Pacquiao vs Thurman? He'll do enough to keep Thurman edgy and on his bike and get a UD.

    Thurman has looked **** and Manny has looked good when it comes to recent fights and the slack drug testing is a worrying POV from a Thurman side, but I just can't see how Thurman doesn't win tbh. The drift on Thurman from opening odds has been fairly sublime and I think this might be the best value bet of the entire year considering he'll probably drift even more closer to first bell.

    A peak Pacman would have beaten Thurman, but not now.

    Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk signed for October 18th.

    Great match up!

    Beterbiev actually fighting someone elite? God bless us.

    Think Gvozdyk f*cks him up but I am very biased. Beterbiev might be the hardest puncher in the division so he always has a great chance and Gvozdyk has been shown to be a little shaky although he showed a solid chin against Adonis. Beterbiev is actually a very good boxer but his defence is quite average and Gvozdyk's right hand is a beauty. Gvozdyk inside 8 if I had to make an early prediction.

    Got tickets for Lomachenko in London next month. Hoping for a few nice fights on the undercard I hear Eubank Jr is trying to get on it.

    Block 113 not too far from the back, was the best I could get! I read that Hearn wants Buatsi on the card as well I reckon it'll be a great night of boxing.

    Indeed. I saw video of the poor argentine and to say the least, standard medical procedures after the fight were not followed. Very sad.

    Meanwhile Eddie Hearn let his fighter fight a 12 round elimination while knowing he was juiced to the gills. Didn’t even have the decency to let the opponent know.
