Didn’t criticise him Gerry, the opposite, just a very good solid boxer who gets the results, can’t say he excites me though
I think our commentators talk a bit of **** at the times but the yanks deffo take the biscuit

Funny how we see fights differently ?
I thought Spence Jr did well after over a year out following his accident no warm up match straight in ?
I was so pissed off with the 2 commentators on Premier that just would not shut up yapping bullshine nonstop to each other I lasted to round 5 before muting the sound gggrrrrrrrr

I thought Yarde was a mile behind myself. Arthur was superb with the jab all night. I gave Yarde about 4 rounds and they were VERY close. Couldn’t break Arthur down. When he did land they were glancing blows until the 12 round slug fest. Great performance from Arthur for me and a deserved win
Anybody watch Errol the boring truth Spence? Garcia was slow to the punch, had to close him down and put it on him like Porter did for me. Credit to Spence though, they always say if you do the basics very well you will go far, he is very good. His left hand has got to be one of the best in the business, his timing is superb
Got to be Crawford vs. Spence next, that should be a cracker

Well I would have not been surprised if it had been a draw but if there was to be a winner then the right man won Yarde did not do enough to win IMO
and Jeff you were dead right Daniel Dubois did have a serious eye injury so was right to stop

Saunders is a classy boxer when he is on his game
Agree with that, similar to Fury, seems to lack motivation at times for me. must be a traveller thing lol, both great boxers though who have had blips in their careers, mental!
Had a look at McGrail, good interview, hope he does well, on seconds out, good channel that

Saunders is a classy boxer when he is on his game. If his style floats your boat, search out footage of Peter McGrail, a local amateur due to turn pro after the Olympics (if it ever happens !!) Known as the Scouse Lomachenko

I think outright punching power could be said about both of them?
I think Saunders is more of a natural middleweight myself. Plus his style is not exactly landing the bombs. Sure they take their toll though!
I think that is Murray done too, stepping into a ring with GGG and having that on the record is impressive in itself for me. Can’t say I have seen that many of his fights. Respect though, was on the end of it and took it on the chin last night

Martin is a legend around these parts, and having more than a passing interest in Boxing I have watched a lot of his fights. Very technically gifted boxer with a great heart, but its clear to see that he doesn't have the power to take out opponents at world level.
Last nights tactics were typical of the way he approached most of his fights. Cool and measured, tight defence and then crank up the pressure in the second half of the fight, regularly dropping lesser opposition with his body shots.
Unfortunately age is against him days and he didn't have what was required against a class opponent last night. I expect him to retire now.
Highlight of his career for me was taking the Martinez fight in his back yard and narrowly missing out on points.

Brutal 
3 losses on the card Gerry, can certainly bang but is called boxing, see what happens when he steps up a level 
Two great champions at that weight, Davis and Lopez, both another level completely for me, superb
As well as Yarde tonight, great fight over the pond. Spence and Garcia, should be a cracker

Anybody watch BJS vs. Murray?
Heroic performance by Murray, totally outboxed by Saunders. Didn't quite get the tactics, high guard, block the shots and counter? or it was just economical for him, who knows?
Great performance by BJS, great movement and hand speed with an array of shots. Possibly the complete or finished article now?
I see he wants Canelo now and not GGG. To be fair, he deserves a shot for me
I think once Callum Smith has had his right rib cage smashed to bits BJS could be his next opponent
