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

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
