    Rose mentioned Jarvis was injured. As that's the fight he preferred for Nikita next.

    Bigtime. At the end of round 4 Fenech would have told Tim that he can't see, then told the ref and got the draw. They would have gone home with the belt. I said exactly the same thing at the time.

    The decision to fight on after the 4th round was the first big mistake. There was no point taking the risk.

    Boxing is a business. No one is going to care how much Tim bled in that fight when his career is over.

    Tim would have been wearing the most luxurious of watches if he was with Jeff.

    The last thing any fighter needs is a brave corner.

    How many ring deaths do we need before cornermen, who are entrusted with the well-being of their fighter, get the message?

    In the case of Tszyu-Fundora 1, it wasn't just the corner who were culpable, it is was the referee, Harvey Dock and the ringside doctor as well. Incompetents, all of them and action should have and would have been taken if it was any other sport than boxing.

    Sakio Bika has called out Jake Paul yet again but although at 46, Sakio probably qualifies as a Paul opponent, he wouldn't even be on Paul's radar.
