It's hard to choose a winner here, one of the women on show looks like Kevin Hart and the other comes from Phlegm city.

Isn’t Marshall a geordie???

I wanted to see what would happen if on DAZN, if they would honour the £7.99 pcm subscribers or go a different route.

One local club will show it at that time without paying sky a penny.

It's a shame the way he was done dirty by some officials at the time.

Stepping up to square with heavier fighters the way he did deserves a doff on it's own n to really take it to em even more so.

Sad endings to his career but proper humbling was his content attitude at life n wants in the world!

My Pops had shit loads of boxing mags that featured all the fighters of that era, good to see 'Barbados Joe'/Joe Walcott mentioned in that vid too, we had a picture of him on our wall. (& many others)

When i hear the term the 'World's most loneliest sport' being banded around in this day n time, it's friggin laughable compared to what the likes of Langford was made to endure.

Why am I thinking Shields will win the fight on points. Should be a great fight.

I can't see anything other than a Shields victory. I'll be lumping on Shields in September.

Lennox Clarke was stopped wayyy to early before. Bobbins stoppage that

Agreed, jus seen it, them short uppercuts from Heffron did look damaging if truth be told but, that stoppage is very questionable!

Clarkes legs never looked like giving way, he defo felt them uppercuts but his legs remained stern.

As for the 2 target punches landing at the end, Clarke looked capable of at least parrying off any further ones launched n thus could've seen out the round.
