Let him fight Morrell, but Edgar's corner need to be primed to jump in, so there isn't another tragedy.

'Mexican fighters haven't looked good in a long time, ducking, juicing, and getting gift decisions have been the order of the day. All those warriors went extinct'

That is very true. Leaving aside ATGs, you had guys like Goyo Vargas, Jose Luis Castillo, Jorge Vaca who were tougher than...

Don't think Beterbiev was comfortably ahead, I thought every round was close. Problems for Yarde were Beterbiev's granite chin, his great command of distance & that he just kept carrying the fight along at a quicker pace than Yarde would've wanted. If Yarde can lay off the weights & come in...

'He has not “regressed”. It’s easy for a powerful guy to knock out “mediocre” opposition. He stepped up and realized that getting in there with guys who can’t fight is DIFFERENT than guys who can fight. '

Probably true, but that is when the prospect needs to re-set to get ready for those...

135 is a ridiculously deep division. ALBA probably needs 2 more good wins & then he can be pitched into it.

When anyone says 'you run, why won't you stand & fight' that doesn't inspire confidence! Back before WW1 Jack Johnson was sparring 'sailor' Tom Sharkey. Infuriated by Johnson's speed & slick moves Sharkey cried out to the trainer ' you should make him stand & fight'. Even then, 110 years...

IDK about USA but in UK you don't make money selling fights to boxing fans. You make money selling fights to football fans who have a very minimal knowledge of boxing. Those guys have probably forgotten who BJS is by now but they do know Liam KO'd CEJ. Hearn would make much more putting CEJ back in...

Love Bread's analysis & he is so right on Beterbiev. He almost never gets dragged into close quarter brawling, he seldom is out-classed at range. His feet are always taking him to that perfect distance to punish his opponent at arms-length. His judgement of distance must be as good as any boxer...

I heard Shadasia was James 'Hard Rock' Green's grand-daughter but not sure if thats right. If so, genetically, she should have a granite chin. (Mind you, looking at CEJ I guess that one don't work!)

Kannabis Kid: 'how could anybody possibly tamper with scales? Its insane to even consider it. We might as well talk about magic'.

It isn't even difficult to tamper with scales, you're just being silly here.

[1Eriugenus]

You're dumbass probably over trained.Yeah, a professional boxer who has spent his career at 130 lost track & kept over-training til he was almost at the division below, not considering tapering down at any time. Sounds likely doesn't it? By contrast, Liam trained hard to get well within the weight...

[1Eriugenus]

That sounds likely. I remember that happened to a US fighter in, I think, Italy. The scales had him at 157.5 & he said 'I haven't been 157 for, like, 12 years, I know I was bang on 160'. I think it could'a been Iran Barkley just from memory. Pretty clearly, Wilson was 129 & Navarette came in...

Definitely should go to Hearn. Mofo that can't fight, with a coach that can't coach, should be managed by a guy that can't manage & promoted by a guy that can't promote.

Match made in heaven so far as I can see....

OK, I'm tempted to put £50 on Loma just on the grounds that everything Eddie Hearn knows about boxing could be written on an acorn, by a squirrel with dyspraxia, using a large felt-tip.

Not sure about Okolie but if he can achieve then Jevan is the right man to bring it out.
