Lomachenko is different class and he looked like he could have done that for another fifty rounds, but that's deeply pathetic from Rigo.

Rigo just fought for a cheque man. That hurt my heart from rigo.
He's always been a conservative, defensive fighter, but that bordered on timidity at times.
I don't think any realistic opponent would make him prove it, but I reckon Lomachenko has the best head movement this side of Mayweather.
He does not really let his hands go. It was always an uphill task for him, but still. Injured hand cost him the fight is corny.
Glad it happened though. There isnt thst many elite level fights left in boxing anymore after this one.
It's probably the best fight in boxing in terms of pure ability.
GGG v Canelo aside, how many other fights can realistically be made between two legitimately world class talents?
I would say wilder vs joshua and crawford vs spence/thurman/pacman. Thats about it. All the elite fights have happened over the past few years. Loma test comes from mikey garcia.
Big Bad Tyson is on the comeback trail although who knows when this ban is being backdated to, if it's the original charge then wouldn't he be banned until June 2018?
Backdated to 13th of December apparently:
Wilder isn't a world class talent, he's a massive bloke with big power who could hit you from the car park. I wouldn't be quick to put Joshua in that category either. Big Daniel Dubois will have knocked him out within three years.Originally Posted by SincereTheRebel
He was on SoccerAMPM and looked absolutely massive.
I'm a twit
He's never going to get back to his best. The guys been smashing gear and booze for the last few years, he's fucked.
Groves v Eubank Jr tonight. ITV have done a seriously bad job promoting it.
Are they even showing it?
My point.
It's on their box office channel, which is a double pain in the arse because you can't order through the remote.
Eubank 5th round plz
I'm a twit
That fight on the undercard just now was terrific.
Naseem Hamed seems to grow rounder every month.
I've got money on Eubank in 7-9.
I love that Hamed is now just a roly poly fat bastard, zero fucks given.
Looks like me.
Is he still a Prince or do you surrender the title if you go over 125kg?
It always amuses me when the commentary team apologises for language from the corners, or they use radio edits of intro music, as though people paying to watch two blokes punch eachother witless will be outraged by a bit of swearing.

Super Series have the fight on their Youtube page.
Need a VPN to make your location US though.
This is shit so far.
Edit: A decent round finally.
Eubank is a decent athlete but he can't box for shit at this level. Ragged as fuck.
There's absolutely no technique. He's just swinging in hope.
Groves nearly fucked it by dropping his hands in that round. That cocky celebration from Eubank
Eubank senior is dressed like the ref.
What was that announcers hair?
Eubank boxed like I do on video games. Fun at the end at least.
Naseem is savaging him here.
He might be my favourite pundit ever based on this one performance. Laying into Groves and shouting over the other two now
He keeps telling Eubank he's shit and needs to retire
Eubank looked outmatched from the opening bell. Nowhere near good enough to get where he keeps saying he wants to be, so Naseem is probably right and he should pack it in.
Naseem to unretire and batter him.
'You're either good at boxing or you're not.'
Great fight (watched it from the 6th after watching the shape of water - seriously what the fuck is that?) Groves defence was brilliant and considering his shoulder popped he did well to survive.
Callum Smith to win the lot then?
I'm a twit
The Wilder fight was pretty, well, wild. Ortiz had to get him out when he had the chance. Strangely reminiscent of the Joshua Klitschko fight in the end. Wilder is definitely beatable, shame Ortiz and his eager little Cuban face couldn't last the pace.
Kell Brook's fight, on the other hand, was a bit procedural, but I suppose that is necessary.
That was some finish.
Looks like the Canelo v GGG rematch could be off. Canelo failed a drug test and while he's claiming tainted meat, which he's claimed and got away with loads of times before, they've suspended him while they investigate this time.
Aye, but who the hell has Browne been fighting his whole career to be unbeaten and such a bum?
He'd have made Valuev look fleet of foot.
Went down hard. Always a bit disappointing when they shelve all replays for fear he wakes up dead in the morning. Impressive from Whyte. I've always quite liked him as a fighter and it'd be interesting seeing him get a go at Wilder.
Wilder will win, just off endurance alone. It should be the winner of AJ vs Parker next for Wilder.
Wilder isn't actually a great boxer, he just has bags of power and those freakishly long arms that mean he can take one step out of the centre of the ring and hit you on the ropes.
He is extremely effective. He losses rounds, but he always ends up with his hand raised at the end of the fight. Extremely dangerous. I favour his wild style of joshua.
Anybody fancy Parker to actually outlast Joshua and finish him off late?
I'm a twit
Can’t see it but it’s only a matter of time before someone does. Get him in a full 12 rounder, take him past half way and every round is yours. When he does lose it will be on points.
Big Tyson's your man for the job.
Is he due back in the ring soon? I've missed the guy.
He's signed up with Warren recently so it'll happen.
Shame that canelo is a big drug cheat.
I would love to see that fight. Only if Tyson can get back to his best though.
AJ doing too much complaining for me. Needs to keep focused. Some fighters will try and rough you up on the inside and use their head as ram.
Joshua is trying to line up that head control into a uppercut. Same way he did wlad

Good fight. AJ was heated during the in ring interviews. Its good to see. Call out wilder and fury, but fuck fury right now. That wilder fight will be real life wakanda mode
