Don't like him either but he answered a few questions tonight

Disagree. He recovered well from the knock down but he struggled for a few rounds against a 36 year old who is 3 stone lighter and about 5 inches shorter. Fury only won cos he's a lot bigger and more powerful.

As soon as he fights someone decent who's around his size and weight he'll get well and truly hammered.

Tonight was a significant step up in class though. Cunningham's not got many miles on the clock for his age and he's miles slicker than anyone Fury's been in with. Big learning fight.
 
I had Trout winning by a few rounds, I watched a downloaded copy that had French commentary and didnt realise they were doing open scoring. Worth a re watch.
 
After the Trout v Canelo fight this is 1 guys judgement on the fight. So hard to score at times. Trout so unlucky I had it a draw myself. Some close close rounds. I am going for a rematch with these 2 in future. I honestly think that Canelo isnt ready for Money and after last night big question marks for me if they want to put him in with Money now.

I had it 115-112 canelo. Think him not looking awesome may be the best thing to earn a floyd fight if he'd have blown trout out of there then money wouldn't touch him this might just be the performance to earn him the fight.

Good point.
 
Just watched the Cardle v Hughes fight just there a great fight and real close fight between 2 well matched fighters on the night. I missed it live on Sky but it was a great fight to watch 2 good young fighters fight each other.

Justr watched that Tyson Fury fight again he is hilariously bad. If he gets a shot at Wlad its going to be very very embarrassing for him

I seen Tyson Fury fight once live in Dublin and never again. Tall fighter and at times he smothers his work too much. IF he was trained well and used his reach he would maybe do well. The heavyweight division will soon be open. Cant see both Klitschkos fighting on for much longer. Fury v Haye might be a good fight and it would sell in the UK. Just think Fury getting him over to the US isnt a bad move. They could use his Irish roots to help sell some of his fights there with the big Irish communities around the US. They have taken many Irish fighters and followed them well over the years from Collins , McCullough , Dunne and John Duddy. Even the pros still fighting they are based mainly over there in Andy Lee and Macklin.
 
Canelo Trout fight was a joy to watch, I had Canelo winning by at least 3 rounds, I thought he looked a level above Trout.

I know it doesn't always work like this but if Canelo handily beat Trout who to my eyes beat Cotto easier than Floyd did then Canelo's ready for Floyd right now.
