    The British title really is beautiful compared to the Commonwealth & European belts.

    I really like Azeez. Good to see somebody going the traditional route and he seems like a really down to earth chap.

    A smart fighter too. Look forward to seeing what's next for him.

    How refreshing is it to not have huge gaps between fights too? Can't have been more than 10-15 minutes between each fight rather than the 30 odd minutes often get.

    f*cking Takam. why did he have to go and get knocked out by Chisora, inflicting 5 more years of him on us?

    96-94 Yoka is a hilariously bad card. He was dreadful and won one round at best lol.

    Yoka needs to let his hands go. He needed to keep the fight at range against Takam but Takam was getting inside way too easily. Yoka hardly threw a combo, it was always one or two punches at a time. He seems better suited to the Olympic point-scoring style. Will be hard to rebuild after this.

    A wise man once told me that those who decide to juice are brittle mentally and eventually fall apart in adversity.

    Connor Benn has a similar humbling or two coming should the cheat be allowed to box a pulse.

    He is a Heavyweight version of Connor Benn - any live test will find him out.

    It is over for Yoka unless he can somehow find an angle to have a 10 year career as a highly overpaid journeyman earning huge piles of loot like Chisora.

    Joshua v Yoka after Franklin might be in the frame as a confidence builder.

    Neither fight will help Joshua when he fights live contenders but the public will fall for Hearn's sales pitch with Yoka.

    I totally agree. He has taken the traditional route and I am incredibly happy for him. He seems like a solid boxer who is slowly developing some finesse.

    Above all, he has the right aura. You can see in his eyes that this is something he wants.
