What a performance from Lopez, great composure throughout

Took the fight to him from the off, made him feel the power, absolutely dominated. Lomo, clueless until the 9th when he had to throw the kitchen sink at him, gave him 9 and 10 myself, just disappointed Lopez didnt get the KO. Two purposely placed head clashes from Lomo too

Well, I will be honest and I have said it through this thread, I was never Lomo's biggest fan, he looks the part with the fancy footwork and movement but he had never really fought any greats for me and the pundits call him the pound for pound king

A washed out Salido bet him, other than that I would say his best opponent until tonight was Linares, followed by Campbell and an over the hill Crolla which says a lot for me. 14 fights and 2 loses, not the record of a “hall of famer” or pound for pound king. Justice has been done

Sounds very critical but I find it disrespectful to the proper pound for pound kings and the guys who have done say the 40 - 0, the real pound for pound kings

For those that remember Francois Botha and interested in hearing an interview from him with my mate Dan Hewitt of boxing tv then info can be found on Dans site of boxing tv itself. Interviewed many good known fighters and more to come during his latest series.

Shameless plug but I'd love for Dan to become even more known than he currently is with the hard work and dedication he puts in.

Come on lads, give it a tune to see what you think.

Just being speaking in person with Nathan and all being well some news announced shortly regards his next fight which is pencilled in on the undercard of a world title fight and providing negotiations are agreeable then will get to watch him in action on BT sports.

Sorry can't say more other than he's hoping to be out before Christmas.

I hope Big Del sparks Usyk out

Got to be all over him and put it on him if he does, deffo has the power and he deffo does not want the later roundS. Come on Big Del, underdog but I hope he can shock the world

Weigh in is up

Ahhhh, beats throwing chairs lol

Should be interesting, Del has to put it on him, lay on him, rough him up.

Usyk, for me this is a proper test, don't get me wrong Chisora is at the end of his career but he is still dangerous. It will be interesting to see how he handles what I would call a proper heavyweight. Got to say, looks lean and mean at 15 1/2 stone though

WAR

What a talent Usyk is. Certainly moves around that ring well and believe if he fights Joshua he'll win. Thought the bell saved Chisora at the end of round 7 as I really believe another 10-20 seconds Chisora would have gone.

Disappointed for big Del, heart like a lion, came out well in the first round but he had a mountain to climb. Usyk, good boxer and his footwork and movement was superb

With respect to big Del though, he is at the end of his career, his movement has never been great, he's a big unit, bit of a machine, that's his strength and what makes him a great entertainer, he wants a war!

I don't doubt that Usyk beats Joshua, could be relatively easy for me, but Joshua does carry good power. If Hearn let's it happen, which I doubt, he will try his best to block it, even though he is now the mandatory! He can lose to Fury or Usyk, mmmmmm, who it's gonna be, another bum £

Joshua vs. Pulev
Winner fights Usyk
Wilder, Usyk avoids him like the plague and goes for Fury, and gets battered, either way
I suppose the question is, who will Fury fight in the meantime?

Tyson Fury beats them all. He would jab Usyk head off and catch him with the big ones too

Good news, it throws somebody else in the mix. For me

1. Fury
2. Wilder
3. Usyk
4. Joshua vs. Pulev, this all depends on what Pulev has left for me, who's got the biggest hammer!
Others?
Dubois hanging around somewhere?

I would love to see Joshua and Wilder, that should answer a few questions

I wonder if Usyk fancies Wilder, you never hear him talking about that much lol

Boxing politics and ****s like Hearn (£) spoil everything. It's simple, the best should fight the best

Got to agree that Chisora was awful. However Usyk surely takes from the fight that Chisora whose record shows he's knocked out opponents he stood up to him and hurt an opponent who was 3 stone heavier. What I've seen of the heavyweight division ‘albeit not a great deal' there ain't many ‘only Tyson resembles anything close' who are as nimble as him.

I thought he did very well and entitled to take a lot of confidence from that in that he never really looked in any danger throughout.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
