    Say what you like about Mr Punter but you can't say he isn't consistent.

    Has to be said mate and i always give credit where due.

    Conlan v Nelson was a cracking fight, the other fights that night plodding borefests.

    Check the Hughie Fury thread and there were posters who were very impressed with Hughie :patsch

    To be fair when you look at the rights fees for boxing it's perplexing how there isn't more of it on terrestrial TV.

    Thank you, but you do not inspire me, so it was not one of my best. Though I am glad I can bring a bit of excitement into your life!

    Domestically you are talking £50k to 150k plus talent/broadcast costs.

    Some drama on the BBC costs £2 million per hour episode in comparison.

    In my opinion both Degale and Jack looked like they were not in condition to fight effectively for three minutes for twelve rounds, the old timers must be turning in their graves. Degale does a lot of time wasting and fiddleing about, to disguise is lack of true fighting condition and Jack just gassed! True world class fighters I think not, a journey man in the 1930s would easily be 'world class' by todays standards!
