First time I've ever felt like Canelo showed his age

Crawford is freakishly good though. To smash someone of Canelo's standing when jumping up two weight divisions, when you're nearly 38, is incredible.

Comfortable win by Crawford. Two rounds on two cards was too close. Unbelievable really for someone to come up 20 pounds and do that.

Agree with comments about canelo showing his age a bit, had so many fights over the years. Pretty sure he’d had 40 fights by his early 20s. No shame in losing to Crawford but should call it a day now

Yeah, he’s the modern day/current Mayweather but with more attacking intent. Cant believe he’s 37 !

Bit closer than I thought regarding the score cards-thought Crawford won by more rounds really. A masterclass from Crawford.

Amazing stuff.
Got to say the stoppage seemed premature, but fair fucks Wardley, incredible performance.

Premature stoppage, no idea why the ref jumped in, should of let Parker continue to the end of the round, yes he was under a bit of pressure, but there was nothing landing clean, and he was well ahead on all the score cards.

Full credit to Wardley, he stepped up a level and proved he could mix it with the best.
He has the toughest chin in the division.

2 fights ago he was at British domestic level getting a draw and then a win against Frazer Clarke, then he got a lucky k.o. victory against Justis Huni after being schooled for 10 rounds, now hes going to be fighting Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title!

How fucking insane is that?

Yes stoppage seemed a bit quick but Ref can’t take any chances I guess. Fair play to Wardley-was losing the fight but dug in and found a way.
Danny Quartermaine from Leamington had a tough 10 rounds aswell-list every round against an impressive Barney-Smith.

Yeah, I’m with you, borderline early but I’d always err on the side of protecting the fighter. Parker was also in big trouble end of previous round and maybe saved by the bell. Think there was still a minute left of 11 when it was stopped

Grear fight either way. What a fairytale for Wardley ! Always knew he was a massive puncher but also showed he’s got a really good chin himself

J.Paul couldn't even beat Tommy Fury he will get destroyed by AJ.
AJ boxing rep has gone down taking it, but earning a potential 60mill maybe more who can blame him.

I hope Jake Paul gets hammered, but like you say they are now earning more money from these fights. It’s being screened live on Netflix, so the audience will be huge.

Shows how much a joke the sport has become when the biggest pay packets are to fight social media celebrities.

could depend on what shape AJ is in. 4 weeks until the fight isn't long. AJ looks sharp in training and wouldn't surprise me if Paul picks up a mystery late injury. On paper it's straightforward - Paul hasn't fought anybody, couldn't knockout a pensioner etc. Joshua is probably done as a genuine contender after the embarrassing Dubois performance so it's probably a last massive payday. Joshua still forgotten more about boxing than Paul has learnt.

Guessing it will go down to points again too on the night like all these other fights seem to.
I'd just love AJ to come out and actually remove Jake Paul's head in the first round

What a mockery these “influencers” are making out of the sport. Some boxers have dedicated their lives to boxing/training and getting up at 5am to run etc and will never get a title shot.
One of the only times that I have wanted AJ to win and I hope he puts Paul on his arse and we can hopefully see an end to this nonsense.

Fury's old man is right though, if Joshua doesn't knock him out within 30 seconds then it's fixed.

How much money is involved though? If he's getting £70m then who knows what random clauses there are.

Ngannou is a unit and a fighter and Joshua made easy work of him, just not having that it would even be close between him and a youtuber.

Some reports suggesting he could be ordered to make his first defence vs Itauma, that could be an interesting match-up if it comes to pass.
