    It's the best fight in a long time.

    Ward vs Kovalev was the last super fight between two fighters in their prime.

    2-3 years past the sell by date. Not mouldy, but a little stale.

    That was a good fight, sadly hugely undersold. Kovalev was unlucky that night for me. Wrestling does not win fights (it did that night tbf).

    I hope you're being satirical. Neither fighter is as good as an area level men's fighter. It is homage to wokery at best. I respect their right to fight but nobody really wants to see it.

    GGG was definitely on just on the slide in the first fight. Still won though

    Ramirez Taylor isn't better that Prograis Taylor and neither are touching Spence Crawford

    Josh went across the pond and done the business winning all 4 belts.

    The cherry on the icing for me after devouring the cake.

    fury wilder wasn’t all the belts

    ramirez taylor is close although ramirez wasn’t really a top 5 p4p fighter

    canelo has already lost

    I can't believe this is ppv here. Surely the demand isn't there to justify it? Especially at £20 too.
