    In the last year or so the Yanks have seen Hatton, Rhodes, Haye, Barker, Murray, Khan, Froch and Macklin all lose on big US shows. They must think we're **** :lol:

    You can counter that though by saying that they've also been introduced to Kell Brook and watched demolish his opponent :hey

    Cherry picking, weight cheating, easy match-ups. It's what's wrong with boxing!

    If true, big respect to Sykes for taking the challenge of a fight were he doesn't even have a punchers chance.

    Dont think Broner is as good as people think, Sykes fight is poor but could be tricky for a few rounds, Sykes will box very cautious early on.

    I can't see any scenario where Sykes can win, I think he has 0 chance in this one

    **** poor fight. Along the lines of Jennings, Lockett etc. Just terrible. Doesn't do anything for Broner and even less for British boxing sending over a guy like this to get hammered.

    :deal
    As much as I would love to see Broner get beat I don't see any possibility. Broner is better in every single possible way and Sykes doesn't even have a punch.
    Just hope he doesn't get too bad a beating

    I think it'll be a one shot finish or the ref stepping in as soon as he see's the difference in power and skill.

    But you know how proud our fella's can be so who knows maybe he will take a beating. Atrocious matchup.

    Honestly think it is worse than them. Jennings was the mandatory (obviously that was ridiculous) and Lockett beat Ryan Rhodes. Best of luck to Sykes though, happy for him
