Hes fighting Tony Thompson in 2 weeks. Between boxing and UFC theres some good fights coming up. 

And yeah, Frampton/Quigg is a must watch.

Really can't see that being a good fight. Thompson is too old and past it. Not fought anyone of note since 2012 and has lost a few since then.

I think it's likely the only reason Martin has agreed to the fight, and the fact he's agreed to it in London is because it's a bigger payday than all of his previous fights combined and he doesn't believe he'll get another shot at it. 

Been wrong before mind! 

Well there is no doubt who the draw is between Joshua and Martin. If Martin was seen as the next big hope, there's no way he would be in London.

Damn. first I've heard that. he took a pummelling. still, if Eubank Jr wasn't being such an arrogant bellend it would have been over by round 6.

Kell brook made short work of Bizier, take note eubank, as against people who hit back harder that tactic could have possibly backfired.

I have watched the whole fight twice now. I don't think Victor did much wrong if anything. Blackwell was losing the fight on points no doubt. But he's still throwing punches and still defending himself. Whilst he's doing that it's very tough for a referee to intervene.

Very easy for people to criticise with the benefit of hindsight.

Sounds like good news on the Blackwell front - out of his induced coma, conscious and talking. 

Good news.

Anyone see Callum Smith on Saturday? Impressive.

AJ this weekend. Looking forward to it. Oh and Hayes upcoming opponent. Errr, who?

Yes, but still unconvinced he's proved anything as yet. Looks very easy to hit and in with someone decent he'd need to vastly improve his defence.

Unsurprisingly easy. 

The fight showed why you should take titles and unbeaten records with a pinch of salt sometimes. The difference in class was huge.As for AJ he can do what he wants in this division. He has the ability, the looks and the personality. He is a promoters dream.

Yes, this may have been mentioned before the fight...

Yes in theory it's early for a title shot but this is the IBF title that's not worth a w*nk.

Ability and looks I'd agree. Promotor's dream? Yes. 

Personality? That we don't know. He's been media coached into a marketing puppet. He's boring, every interview is the same, he has no personality. At least not one his advisors want you to see.

Yes personality is probably the wrong word. I meant more the way he conducts himself in the media, interviews etc. I can see him being the poster boy for UK sport like Jess Ennis is the poster girl

      Travelling to and from the site on a day ticket

      By TheFellaLondon · Posted

      Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...

      I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.

      Visiting the site outside the festival

      By phil the shrew · Posted

      After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare
