    You'd think that after barely getting past Vasil Ducar, he'd be better off not fighting at the top level of the division and maybe fighting for a few regional titles first.

    Opetaia looked decent but terrible matchmaking for Thompson to be involved at that level. In footballing terms like Manchester City playing Burton Albion in the FA Cup and winning 6-0, doesn’t necessarily prove anything as it’s what expected.

    Suppose that’s the sort of opportunities you can get though when you grew up with Frank Smith.

    Hearn at least knew what he was doing. Not sure why the trainer and manager agreed, probably offered enough money.

    Weird one for Sims, I don't know. Hearn would obviously throw a fighter under the bus for a quick buck, not sure what happened with the rest of them.

    No major gossip, in fact it’s public knowledge, you go to Smith’s Instagram and there’s a picture of him and Thompson together as toddlers. Caption was something like “look how far we’ve come”.

    Opetaia could give a prime cruiserweight Usyk a tough fight. I'd pick Usyk to win, but Opetaia is no joke. We've finally found a light in the cruiserweight division. Let's hope someone can do the same for 160!

    Also FVCK people moaning about this fight. I appreciate activity. I appreciate taking easier voluntary defenses when boxing politics are getting in the way. I WANT Bivol to fight Arthur this year. I LIKE what Janibek is doing at 160. Let's take a leaf out of their books and not out of the Charlo's

    The 10 minutes last night where Thompson took a terrible beating and was totally outclassed could risk ruining his career.

    So much to comment on in that video but my favourite is Hearn saying Joshua v Wilder needs to be in the UK after he’s just spent 6 months begging Saudi Arabia to throw loads of money at it.
