    That girl fought for a world tile 6 weeks ago. Shows how bad the standard of women's pro boxing is. Below national amateur standard in places...

    Not expecting him to be up to much, but it will be a disappointment if it’s some tomato can. Tyson keeps telling us he’s the real champ...

    It might be Ronne Pickering. What a fight that would be.

    They have to stop showing the footage from above, cos it looks like there is nobody there. Except for a few early soccer supporters in the main stand who seem to have arrived early for the next Leeds United home game.
    Tyson Fury dressed like the thought the band was gonna play Groove Is In The Heart.

    Big stadium fights are always like that. Most of the 'fans' are out in the bars until literally a few minutes before the main event.

    Josh needs to be frenetic. Waits and relaxes and he gets outboxed.

    Selby doing better now. Still hope he gets cleaned out of it.

    How do people think the fight later will pan out? Unless age has really gotten to Adonis I can't see anything other than a victory for him. Jack is a lovely fighter to watch and he always seems to be the underdog and pull it out of the bag but having close scraps with DeGale and Dirrell as well as Groves, two of the three being average and Groves good but not great; surely Adonis is the best, or more precisely the most powerful and accurate fighter he'll have fought. Jack has been down by lesser men before and Adonis has a cannon of a left hand, does Jack avoid it for 12 rounds? I'm not so sure as he loves a scrap and he has most joy trading. There seems to be a lot of people picking him based on emotion due to Adonis' past and the fact he's built a protected resume but I can't look past Adonis' speed and power and decent boxing ability.

    Josh landing good legal shots to side of head and being warned for back of head...?

    Selby is not fighting the right fight at all. Warrington is really basic but effective, defense is non existent from Selby.

    Delighted Selby being “shown up” here. Never rated him as anything approaching a great pro. Has fought nobody. Warrington fought very well...

    Well done Warrington.

    Although even the current half-shot Frampton will eat him alive imo.

    I gave Selby 3/4 rds at most..

    Some close rds, but can’t really argue he won that.

    Very hard to argue a win for Selby there but the thing is a lot of the rounds were close but the rounds Warrington won he won very clearly. I had it 8-4 Warrington.
