He's like a top heel who puts his opponent in a rest hold and waits for the time limit draw. I'm not buying that PPV.

Dirtiest player in the game, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Prick.

Only reason DeGale hasn't been blown away is purely because of his round 2.

Fucking hell how did a judge score that 117-109

No idea what he was watching.

Wow, Anthony Joshua just totally destroyed Kevin Johnson. Should've been over in the first but the ref had seen enough in the second. First time anyone has ever stopped Johnson.

Tyson Fury will fight Wladimir Klitschko on 24th October in Germany. Should be good.

Nah, easy Klitschko win

Crolla got robbed tonight.

I don't get how one judge can give it 116-111 to Crolla while another gives it 114-113 to Perez, especially when Perez had 2 points deducted.

As expected, Crolla & Perez are set to have a rematch.

So its half way in Klitschko - Fury and Fury is winning with ease for me. Can't believe how little Klitschko is doing.

Klit was shit, Fury was comfortable throughout bar one round. Fair play to the judges, was some close rounds to call and did think they would botch it

What the fuck

115-112, 115-112, 116-111 in favour of Tyson Fury. Klitschko just couldn't seem to work out how to counter Fury, he only landed 4 body punches in the whole fight. Deserved win and proved a lot of people wrong.

Did anybody watch the boxing on Channel 5 last night? Nick Blackwell has bleed on the brain and has ended up in an induced coma as a result of the referee being a retard and not stopping the fight.

I watched the fight and it should have been stopped in an earlier round no doubt. Didn't look good at all.

This Martin v Joshua fight could be very close I think. People seem to be saying Joshua is favourite just because Martin has never fought outside of America before, but I think he could actually nick it. I know next to nothing about boxing, however.

Martin vs Joshua now getting going.

EDIT: Joshua has fucked him up in 2 rounds The power of that guy is unreal.

He's a club fighter that got a world title on the back of his opponent blowing his knee out. Dylan White would have smashed him, let alone AJ.

Inferno's are going to run out of bouncers at this rate.

Disappointed by Martin. Well done AJ though, absolutely dominated.

As did young Benn in his fight. Gotta go up against Eubank Jr at some point!

Fury next for AJ? If he survives.

Yeah, Fury's got bigger things to worry about at the minute. Can't see AJ rushing to fight him anyway, might as well earn a few million more pummelling bums in front of sell out crowds before taking on a real fighter.

Heard rumours of a Dylan White rematch, which will be a huge let-down, and I don't think his team will resist the urge of smashing either Dereck Chisora or David Haye into the middle of next week.

Can't wait til Fury beats Klitschko again and also makes AJ look like a fool over 12 rounds

Whatever you think about Fury he's several orders of magnitude better than anyone AJ has fought until now.

Fury might not be all there in the head, but he can fight. Think AJ would be foolish to go up against him so soon. Would love to see it though. Hope fury beats Klitschko again too, can't stand that guy or his team.

Going back to Saturday, Selby seemed a lucky boy to keep hold of his title. Pretty much kept it cos the challenger, Hunter, ignored the ref and suffered the consequences. Bloody stupid but I guess he got lost in the moment.

Aye I'm not denying that...but at the same time the only person Fury has fought that is above the standard of AJ's opponents too is Klitschko... maybe Chisora at a push but he has always been overrated because he is British too. Anyway my point is Fury's previous 20 something opponents were all that standard too and he looked a lot less impressive in getting past them. He doesn't have that great a chin and has been put down a few times in his career by domestic level journeymen, his technique is poor and sloppy and he has nowhere near as much power as someone his size should. However his defence has drastically improved.

He obviously gets credit for beating Klitschko, its a great achievement and no-one really expected it, but i think the majority of the reason for that was him not showing up or giving Fury too much respect - i mean he barely threw a punch the whole fight whilst Fury just erratically bounced around barely throwing punches either. If Klitschko still has the hunger he should win the rematch comfortably... but if not Fury will get found out against the likes of Povetkin, Wilder, Haye and AJ. Boxers who I feel have better technique, punch variety, boxing skills and would have no fear of Fury. The main reason I think AJ would beat him now is simply the power aspect. I feel like Joshua could take Fury's punches all night, whereas Fury's best hope would be to try and avoid them like he did with Klitschko... only Joshua is younger, more mobile and hungrier and would be confident in his power. He'd only need a couple to connect and it would be over.

Mobility and Joshua in the same sentence, I've heard it all
