    Thanks! I completely agree. I'll be making changes to break it down by round throughout this week, so hopefully the changes will be in place for the Canelo fight on the weekend.

    Good job. I like this. Much better than CompuBox (granted, Compubox is done 'live' so it's more prone to error). Will use this as a reference from now on. You gonna set up to take donations or something? You should make a little something for your efforts, IMO.

    Thanks. We're not fussed on making profit from the site, but it does cost us both time and money to keep it running at the moment. If people would be keen to donate or subscribe to a premium version with a few extras then that is something we've thought about and is a possible. From our side, something like that would be a massive help to us, but I don't want come across like we're out to make money. Anything profit would go back into the site to make it better for the foreseeable future. To be honest I hate running adverts on the site, but it's the minimum we have to do to keep it running in reality.

    Out of interest, would anyone here want a premium account, and what features would you want? You can chose the amount you want to pay per month, put in what you can afford or feel it's worth and you get premium features?

    I think you're more productive to go for the advertisement $.

    That aside, I think it would be great to rank fighters by certain things like defense, offense power, etc. It would be neat to see who the top ten defensive fighters are etc. You already have the data, it would just need to be organized into a clickable list. Also, it would be interesting to track other things by polling the site users, such as favorite fighter, most brave fighter, hardest puncher etc. It would be interesting to see how the stats lined up with the polls, and to see which fighters actually have the support. Perhaps have a poll for each fight to go with your match-ups. to make it more interactive. Lastly, how about a fantasy fight league?

    I'd definitely pay for a premium version, but I might be in the minority.

    Yeah I did watch it with the British commentary I wonder if that's what eschewed my perception as I thought brooks was doing a lot better when when I rewatched it without sound.

    The British commentators were saying **** like GGG doesn't like being hit and all the damage is GGG's changing his game plan and all sorts of pure stupid Brook glorifying idiotic comments. If we thought HBO was full of ****, lol these Brits have them beat.

    Some great ideas there, thanks. Top ten lists is something I'd thought of a while back, but it never came to anything. I may well have to revisit that one! A prediction league we have, but our user base wasn't big enough to make it work really. We were talking about it today and there's a good chance it'll re-appear, but it'll probably be in the new year depending on how things go. Great ideas there though, thanks.

    Thanks, really appreciate it. We've asked a few people and had mixed results so far. Potentially we'll be offering the feature due to it being something that'll help us so much, but we wont be pushing it in people's faces unless interest really grows.

    Yeah. Brook tried as much as he could but by Round 5 he had become a punching bag.

    Good stoppage by his corner. It was over.

    I had Golovkin winning every round except the 2nd and even in that round Golovkin did far more damage than Brook could ever dream of..................Golovkin did not care about Brook's punches, but if Golovkin wants to play defense, he is excellent.................
