Wow that was a pretty brutal destruction, couldn't even take it to the later rounds. Couple of cash fights then he'll retire I expect.

Yeah I don't see him officially quitting just yet. Whatever detractors may say, what he has done for British boxing is huge and many of his fights have been immense entertainment.

At least it looks like AJ took this defeat better than the Ussyk one, which was a bit awkward to say the least. Like with Fury, I guess it isn't easy when you meet your limitations, you can only ever be the best for so long and nobody is invincible.

AJ has done very well for himself considering his limitations.

Fury is all about motivation. He really has to be 'up for it' to show his best.

Full credit to DD...right from the ringwalk he looked focused, confident and this was his time.
 
Looking forward to Jack Rafferty vs. Henry Turner (for the British super lightweight title) on the Ball/ Rios undercard tonight.


Walter Fury (Tyson's cousin) just won on points.
 
I have kinda switched off a little form boxing, was he not destined for greatness at one point? Seems he has fallen off abit?
Well De La Hoya has his opinion, might be slightly biased though as he's not Hearn's biggest fan...



Personally I think age just caught up with him, he fought most of the top fighters over his career. 2 weight world champion and a class act.

Yeh good summary

I think Hearn is coming to the end of his tenure as manager, I think he will sell out to Saudi and be their adviser on promotion. I think PR wise he has taken fighters to good pay days, I don't think he has necessarily given the best advise, seems abit of a "cash in quick" vibe to his management, but he can promote, I give him that.
