That was a cracker, cheers Kim.
Whoever loses doesn't deserve it.
Think Usyk just about did enough.

Nah. It is just the only the channel that wanted to broadcast.Randall wrote:Good round for the ukranian
Is this meant to be pay per view Kim?
The concept started with two eight fighter tournaments. This was the first semi-final fight. The other cruiserweight semi-final on the same channel next week. Cruisers also managed to get all four world champs into the semis so the belts will be unified.
One of the Super Middleweight semi finals, Groves vs Eubank Jr, is PPV late next month.
There were some cracking first round fights on the same channel a couple of months back. Nice idea for a tournament tbh, but will never get the most lucrative divisions.

Used to be a big boxing fan but I've lost all track since say 2003.

Re: Boxing
Cruiserweights deliver again, quite possibly the best division in the sport at the minute. Another cracker on next weekend, the second semi-final between Murat Gassiev and Yunier Dorticos. Not sure what channel it is, I guess it's the ITV Box Office again. Both huge punchers but there to be hit, it's sure to be an absolute war!

Dempsey and Johnson predate them by 50 tears but the 70s were good as well.

The smaller weight classes should get the attention.
Fighters like Vasyl Lomachenko are incredible.

Re: Boxing
Throughout history the heavies have got the hype, when the lesser weights have been far better.
Middleweight always served up the better fights.
When you have dull cunts like Mayweather you can understand people looking elsewhere.

Cuban looks more toned and focused.
