    You would have to wonder what is the point in having the fight with the guy who has 137 losses on his record on the live TV schedule. Surely they should have put the Collins Jr fight on the live card instead? Did he win actually, I can't see it anywhere?

    This is so painful, and so pointless.

    When he confronted Chisora about fighting Joyce at ringside after a Chisora fight I remember him making a tit of himself with Joyce in toe.


    I'm a big fan of Haye, but yeah that was very embarrassing.

    Strange that a guy has 137 losses but really looks like he knows what he's doing in there.

    Mayweather actually fought a lad in his last fight not as good as Warburton...

    Interesting that there's not MTK branding on the ring. I also noticed Paddy Barnes had no MTK sign on his ring attire.

    He's a journeyman, paid to bring novice pros along, and he strikes me as excellent at his job

    I'm not sure but it might have something to do with the fact that every five seconds he shouts:

    I noticed that on his boxrec page. He has five scheduled fights already! so if you think about it, he couldn't actually afford to win tonight with his schedule.

    Been a terrible night so far, especially compared to the last Eddie Hearn card which was the best night's boxing I think I've ever seen. Frank Warren needs to big fights here to save the night.

    Pianeta looked a bum when he fought Wlad a good few years ago. I do expect this to go at least 4 rounds though.

    Fury is miles away from what he was. Looking very slow, sluggish and not calculated. It might help if he took it a bit serious.

    I would have assumed he'd be a little faster and less sluggish considering he's shed a tonne of the blubber.

    Any chance of a fight breaking out somewhere to liven this up?

    Fury is like a j4 prop lumbering from ruck to ruck, clearly not interested in doing anything of note.

    Because Fury is fighting safe? You're having a laugh.

    The commentators are explaining why he is "breaking his opponents down slowly".
