Did anyone else watch the Andre Ward fight? Let's just say it wasn't the best.

I doubt this guy will ever get any mainstream recognition. Too many of his fights bore me to tears and he doesn't have the cocky type personality to get away with it and get people to buy his fights.

I thought ward did well and dominated. That was is first fight for over year and was over the weight. He's not rated 2nd best in the world for nothing

He's already calling Haye a pussy on Twitter.

I never said he didn't dominate the fight, his style is just boring for the most part. He's way too safe, clinches a lot more than he needs to (even though it was just as much Rodriguez's fault last night, but it happens in every Ward fight).

Fury has every right to slate Haye. He's been fucked over big time in the last few months, 2 pointless training camps for him and months wasted where he could've been making good money from other fights.

He said all along that he doubted the fight would actually go ahead in February and he's been proven right.

Hope this is the last time I have to hear from the class A conman that is David Haye. Should've hung them up for good (like he promised he was going to) after Wlad gave him a lesson.

Wards a great fighter just not got a good following. No harm in it to be honest. Just if you cant sell or be in good fights whats the point. Ward needs to a fight with Golovkin to test him if Golovkin moves up but he wants Marthinez. Just think the tv men in the US and UK would love a Froch v Golovkin fight if Froch beats Groves and that would be a huge fight for 2014. Think its a year away but who does Froch fight next if he beats Groves. Ward I think Froch would fight but will loose on points and that would stop a Golovkin fight. So who Froch goes in with next after Groves is a big question mark for me.

As for Haye. Devastating puncher got it all power and 1 punch KO power if he is forced to retire he has nothing to be ashamed of as his record speaks for itself made a fourtune as well during his time in the ring. He looked more focused since his comeback too. So I am sad to see him retire. I cant or wont knock him a great fighter. I know Wlad Klitschko made a huge pay day while fighting him. Its a shame as I think if they were to rematch Haye would of closed the gap on him not saying he would win it but it would be closer.

Fury comes across as a dickhead. And no; I wouldn't say it to his face.

Manchester v Salford derby now on the Froch/Groves bill!

Ant Crolla v Steve Foster Jnr going to be a cracking fight, my loyalties are torn as I'm a big fan of Crolla but Steve is my local fighter. Eddie Hearn has put on another cracking bill and I for one can't wait.

Hearns card is a jammed packed 1 talk about value for money Hearn is giving the fans what they want good competitive fights. The only fight not competitive is the Scott Quigg fight. Giving him a easy 1. I would of loved to see a rematch with Salinas as he took on Quigg after a year out a more fight fit Salinas would cause Quigg all sorts of problems. I hope Sky show the Rigondeaux fight on the 7th of December he is the real WBA Champion cant be having the shit with 2 world champions. It should be banned thats why Quigg being called a World Champion when the best in the Division holds that belt as a Super Champion is all wrong in my opinion. Not being disrespectful to Quigg or anything just dont like it.
Yes for the likes of Quigg and Murray to be on this bill will open a hell of a lot of fans to them. I love Murray think he will be a World Champion I would have Murray as the best Middleweight from Ireland and UK that sky the gloves are off with Lee , Murray , Macklin and Barker was great. Think Andy Lee with Booth will get stronger. Also heard that Hearn wants Lee v Macklin in Dublin around Paddy's weekend and if that happens I will be there live at the fight.

Tony Belew's boxing tomorrow, think he's underrated.

Was pretty close to fighting today at the weigh in.

It'll drum up a few more viewers I'm sure but looking forward to it anyway.
