With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Whenever a "big" fight disappoints, I just watch this and remember how good boxing can be.

I watched a very similar more detailed video, and it made it seem quite silly that people were picking Ngannou. It clearly demonstrated the level that a top boxer like AJ is working at.

Tbh it made the Fury thing seem even stranger. Yes he had a bad night, but it really shouldn't have mattered. Someone as good as Fury should've been able to spot those things a mile off.

I have tended to enjoy the cross-over fights - Toney v Couture, McGregor v Mayweather, Cyborg boxing, and Ngannou's ventures into the ring.

Money will always talk. 

I think my point was that the appeal will be less, because it shattered the illusion that an MMA fighter can actually compete. I've enjoyed the events as well. 

I've no doubt we'll still see them in some capacity, but I can't see another top boxing heavyweight near their prime taking a fight like this. 

Tbf, Fury-Ngannou was the first time a top active boxer fought an MMA fighter. Mayweather wasn't the same thing.

I think it depends on the individual MMA fighter as to whether they can compete.

Israel Adesanya has had success in NZ boxing tournaments.

Who would of thought 30/40 years ago that only one Heavyweight from the USA would be in the top 10 rankings with rest made up of 3 British and the other 6 coming from Ukraine, New Zealand, Cuba, Germany, Croatia, China.

It's breath fresh air not having the dominance of the USA of the past BUT now can we ended the circus of Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury pease.

I really want Tyson do to that in the first 2/3 rounds after that it's all on fitness from the upstart youth.

I just don't want it to be like Evander Holyfield lose in the 1st round against MMA Victor Belfront first Boxing match.

Tim Tszyu lost on points to Sebastian Fundora in the WBO super welterweight title match that Fox has been publicising for weeks during NRL coverage. Fellow Aussies Liam Wilson and Michael Zerafa also lost their world titles over the weekend.

He’s 6 foot 6 did you know . I’m sure they mentioned it in passing

Some comeback this.

Inoue knocks him clean out.

Fair play to Nery, he didn't shy amd kept throwing bombs.

Sometimes getting knocked down can help a boxer's image. I'm more impressed seeing how he was in trouble and then totally dismantled the guy.

Some of his shots are sickening. Nery will have whiplash from a few of those straight rights.

Lomachenko back to his best again last night, stopping Kambosos in the 11th. Things started quite well for the Aussie with him going to the body, but Loma soon figured him out.

Superb interview by Kambosos afterwards, no excuses and very complimentary about his opponent. I do think boxing needs to get away from losses being the be all and end all.

Good to see the Furys being as classy as ever...

The build up had been pretty low-key so far, but it's definitely came with a bang today.

Frustratingly, my first ever half-marathon is at 9am on Sunday and I've trained too long to blow it by staying up late for this fight!

His lovely clan use intimidation en masse in all Tyson’s fights. Generally I think this thing of having huge entourages screaming and shouting and playing up is a bit tedious .

Correct me if I'm wrong but usually the Saudi based fights are on time aren't they and usually around 9pm/10pm here? Not like the scheduled 4am nothings happening at 530am Vegas bouts?

Yea, the start time for the main card is rumored to start approx. 6pm BST. It's is probably one of 2 reasons why Saudi based fights are OK. (The other being, that they are rich enough to pay the boxers what their egos think they deserve) 

Not really sure how interested I am in this fight - I can't really see Usyk beating Fury, I just don't think he's big enough to compete with the way Fury fights. 

We've already had blood spilled with big John deciding to headbutt some random kid/Usyk team member. Did anyone see his "apology"? Was quite amusing.

It was after 12:30 when AJ knocked out Ngannou and that was a 2 round fight. Easy after 1am before I got to bed. I only got that fight because the main even was due at 11pm.

Of course it's not one of the Vegas fights but I'm at up at 6 and not doing a half-marathon off a few hours sleep 😅
