Evening Bird, hope you're good! Don't forget the clash of the titans at York Hall on Sky too!

I just don't agree with this. It's like blaming FIFA for Soccer Aid being crap. Very few real boxing fans watch influencer boxing, because it's absolute shit. Very few influencer boxing fans watch real boxing, because it doesn't have the characters they are interested in watching 'fighting'. They cater for entirely different audiences. 'Boxing' cannot decree that all influencer boxing is forbidden, the same way as the 'football' can't stop a load of useless muppets kicking a ball around a park because they're playing so awfully. There are an awful lot of legitimate things you can criticise the sport for, but the fact it's been embraced as a money spinner by a bunch of YouTube arseholes isn't one of them imo.

Not sure why people are saying last night reflects badly on boxing as a sport. It was literally unlicensed other than by a body the promoters made up to make it look semi legitimate. No credible board of control would touch it with barge pole, so I would argue that pro boxing has in fact turned its back on this shite to preserve (what's left of!) its integrity despite the temptingly vast sums of money involved. As @petehinton said, by the sounds of it everyone who paid for that got exactly the spectacle they deserved!

Caterall v Linares on DAZN too.

Yeah it's a good money spinner alright, but the standard of the fights is far below the quality you'd find outside a kebab shop on a Saturday night. It's boxing for people that have no interest in boxing.

Tommy Fury pretends he is, but that's your lot! A pile of steaming horse shit closer to WWE than real boxing imo.

I see the WBA dismissed Dubios' appeal, no surprises there.

Nothing but respect for what HGT are doing, but if you're prepared to take the fanfare when you're winning campaign awards ceremonies, you can expect a bit of criticism when the club you support take a giant shit over the values that you're (quite rightly) trying to advocate for and the same campaign says nothing.

Yeah, Wood stays so calm and measured, no matter where he is in the fight he's still able to pick devastating punches. I thought it'd be the uppercut all night the way Warrington was rushing in with his head down, but I'll take whatever haha.

Weird the way Warrington walked to the corner and quit, he had no clue wtf was going on. Class boxer is Wood, just waited to time him all night, didn't get flustered by the roughhousing at all.

Get the **** in Leigh! edit, what timing, oof!

Warrington putting the nut in, what a shock.

Oooh, this is going to be good!

I've just realised that all of Tom's posts on the thread have vanished after the server switch and his OTIB Harakiri. It seems a bit sad really.

Either or is a fair description, Bird! Hope you're good mate.

Here you go mate https://www.vipleague.la/boxing/dazn-boxing-boxing-from-dazn-1-live-streaming

Evening all, looking forward to the main tonight. Really hoping Leigh sends Warrington into retirement and shuts his bovine fans up.

Warrington fans were chating 'SCABS, SCABS, SCABS' at the weigh in! Those wounds never healed. Looks like old Fishnets has just received a shipment from Bogota He is FLYING haha.

No pubs in Cardiff will let you in with an English accent full stop. It's easy enough to loiter away from the station exit and avoid the escort, but you'll struggle for a drink anyway unfortunately- meanwhlie, they can drink on the harbourside here or wherever else they want.

Calling it now, Usyk SD. Bookmark this post!

I shall believe it when the first bell rings mate!

Feel so sorry for proper fans like @Owl Visiting , Chansiri has always been a flounce away from this sort of nonsense.

The difference in Conor Benn's physique now compared to when he was popped is laughable. Then he was sparking ex world champions with single shots, now he's unable to make an Amazon driver brought in at a few day's notice take a step back despite catching him flush time and again. How anyone can suggest he wasn't juicing after that is beyond me. Horrible, cheating little rat.

Hi Owl! Joyce looked like he was crapping it from the ringwalk. Incredible punch though. edit:

Was just linking you @PHILINFRANCE, but it's over. Easy work for Zhang.
