Calling out Wilder omg. I bet Wilder would have to Google him to find out who the fat scouser is. Struggled to beat a should be retired statue tonight. If sky can hype up a rematch of this debacle they'll be mugging off every customer.

Tyson Fury taking to twitter last night to announce his comeback with a mid-May date. Been very quiet the last few months so will b interesting to see what sort of shape he is in.

2 1/2 years since his last fight, expect 2 or 3 ring rust fights in 2017 before making moves in 2018, If his mindset is correct of course!

Brook v Spence this weekend, with Groves getting another world title shot on the undercard and Dave Allen getting another outing in possibly the most important fight of career to date.

Think Brook Spence could be a brilliant fight, have been looking forward to this for weeks! Going for a Brook KO!

Brook should be in great shape. Having his camp in the heat of Fuerteventura and really knuckling down while he's been there.

Brook on points for me. This is the toughest fight he's taken since Porter (I'm not counting GGG as that was a pointless venture at 160) and I can see Spence giving him some real problems, especially considering the new eye socket.

Groves finally getting the chance to win a world title and set up the DeGale rematch. If that's on I will be going.

Would be great if George wins on Saturday, don't think there is anyone in the country that wont be backing him.

Exciting times for British super middles, Groves, De Gale, Callum smith & Eubank

Massive risk from brook to take this fight, if he'd stayed at 147 and not took the GGG fight id be backing brook all day, but this will be kells biggest test so far.

Spence is a great body puncher and looks a class act verses the limited opposition he's faced, but he's never faced a fighter in his prime like kell, and more importantly never been in a world tittle fight before.

I fancy brook on points or Spence to stop him in rounds 3-6

Brook will wait for Spence to let go and catch him on the counter. He is a fantastic counter puncher. He'll just step out of the way and catch him on his follow through. Brook in 7 or 8.

Intriguing fight coming up this Saturday, Ohara Davies v Josh Taylor, another Hearn v McGuigan battle and on terrestrial TV to boot.

The bookies can barely split them, a real 50/50 fight, great to see two young lads who are both expected to have big futures throwing caution to the wind and taking fights like this at such an early stage in their careers.

Haven't seen much of Josh Taylor but he is very highly thought of, Ohara impressed last time out with his decimation of an aging Derry Matthews.

On Spike tonight good undercard. Easton v a Belgian fighter what a scrap ! Toe to toe and Easton won on a stoppage near the end. Now its turn over to Five for the Taylor fight.

Taylor was a worthy winner over Davies and out punched him. Didn't like Davies turning his back at the end though. Looked liked he quit !

Ohara Davies, another Matchroom prospect that's shown up as soon as he steps up in levels. Fighting bin men from Latvia isn't good preparation, Hearn can't keep doing this for his fighters.

Not sure that's a fair comment, he had just come off the back of a resounding win over Derry Matthews, a former British and commonwealth champ who's had World title fights. Not sure you can blame Matchroom for Ohara's loss on Saturday, going into the fight Taylors resume had more Latvian binmen on it than Oharas did, he just came up against a fighter who was too good for him. Would like to know wo you think he should have fought inbetween Matthews and Taylor?

Too early to tell with Connor Benn but we are about to find out what Callum Smith is made of in the SM series.

A resounding win against Derry Matthews, really? This guy is shot to shit and he's 38 years old. He was knocked out in his fight before at the weight class below, by a non punching Luke Campbell.

Someone at British level would have been a good bridging fight, a Jack Catterall or a Tyrone Nurse. Taylor's pro record wasn't great, but he has an extensive amateur background that O'hara just doesn the have, he's beat world level fighters in the amateur format.

Also I don't think it was entirely matchrooms decision to put Ohara in the fight, Cyclone paid big money to Davies to get him to fight in Scotland at their event, too good to turn down I believe.

You think Callum Smith is a dud?

He's not a dud, but he's nowhere near as good as what they say he is. He's been sitting on a mandatory shot for 2 years fighting journeymen, his best win is Rocky Fielding, yet he's talked about like he's the best Super Middle in the world, based on what?

Davies is an overconfident p**** that got himself the fight through social media. Says it all when he turns his back and quits standing up.

Poor finish to a good fight, would have liked to have seen more of taylors show boating when he was in control at the end.

taylor vs burns will be worth a watch

Eubank Jr v Abraham this week on ITV Ppv LOL. To be fair it's a decent undercard, Eubank should beat the shit out of the corpse of Abraham.

Eubank is a devastating puncher and should destroy his opponent. Abraham is experienced and no mug.
It may go the distance but unlikely so I'm going for Eubank by knockout in 6 rounds.

Devastating puncher? Not a chance. He carried little power at 160, the step up to 168 has done him no favours at all. Still win on a wide points decision.

Probably not devastating then but efficient ?
19 wins by KO in 25 fights so not bad going.

Against sub-standard boxers. Look at pretty much any boxer's record and you'll notice that trend early on in their career. Eubank still hasn't been stepped up in class (well, he has against BJS but lost and dropped down again) and Abraham is going to be far too wily to leave himself open to too many punches. At absolute worst it will be a stoppage due to accumulation, but I cannot for love nor money see Abraham being hurt.

Well AJ was contracted to one with a rematch clause in the contract and they were in talks of doing it in vegas, but Vlads decided to retire
