    Kell Brook vs Jesse Vargas, in sheffield at bramall lane on August 27 or September 3. Vargas is the weakest of the current welteright champions. Cant complain about unification bouts, and its a name step compared to brooks last few opponents.

    Decent upcoming fights. The pick of the bunch being

    Anthony Joshua vs Dominic Breazeale
    George Groves vs Martin Murray
    Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter

    I like groves. He really needs to beat murray. Groves has had three or four world title step ups and has failed every single time. Hopefully he gets a world title shot, wins and then we can get the degeale rematch. Im sitll not convivced about joshua. Im certain he beats Breazeale but i feel the other beats heavyweights such as wilder, fury and klitschko beat him. Breazeale last fight was against a 50 year old amir monsour who he stopped, but it wasnt spectacular. Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter is a 50/50 fight. That one could go either way.

    C'mon Murray, make me rich.

    Ive met him a few times and e's the least intimidating guy ever. I liked that about him, just seems like a friendly bloke. Sorta like Bisping.

    It is allegedly a verbal agreement. They had a written agreement a few months ago that both would take one tune-up fight (amir Khan and dominic wade) and then they would fight. That didnt work out well. Im not buying this verbally agreement for late 2017. Thats like 3 fights away.

    According to tyson fury, the rematch with wlad is postpond because fury was twisted his ankle.

    Apparently he was told to keep off his ankle for 6-7 weeks.

    How bad can an ankle sprain really be though? When I was a kid I sprained/twisted my ankle quite a few times playing football, walked it off then carried on playing.

    The threshold for what's considered a 'twisted ankle' will be a bit higher for a seven foot professional athlete than for your eleven year old self knocking a ball around the garden.

    Fury has been spotted out on the piss in recent weeks so this has definitely been known about for a while. And the stadium has barely sold out due to extortionate prices. It's all a save face exercise.

    And another thing, why do these soft boxers always fall on their arse from a single punch? When I was 11 I got in a fight and took 3 punches to the face and they didn't move me an inch.

    Decent bouts last night. Everything went as expected in my opinion. I dont think they will put joshua against any of the named heavyweights anytime if they can continue to fill our areas with the current level of competition. They need to put joshua against some polish heavyweight next. I went to a small boxing card in walsall, not too long ago and the polish invasion in the building against some polish who didnt even have 10 fights was insane. Please with groves win. He needed that.

    Eubank JR and GGG is gaining momentum. I understand eubank isnt really qualified but there isnt any other fighter at there that is publicly calling out GGG. Its worth GGG coming over to england fighting eubank jr.

    Thurman beat porter last night. It was a close fight. Could have been a draw or a porter win. They are talking about a rematch. It was a good fight. Back and forth. Cant complain about the decision. Porter makes you work for victories. Man does not stop thorwing punches and moving forward. Man is a raging bull. thurman did well though. A good matador, will also beat a good bull.

    GGG would kill Eubank but fair play to want the fight.

    Get a proper boxer in with Joshua and stop fighting bin men.

    There is talk among the online boxing community that joshua should take a few more fights before he tackles wilder. Wilder is doing the right thing asking for the fight right now. Joshua is probably only going to get better. You need to take him out early and i agree with him. Joshua is a champion. Champions shouldnt need warmups. Joshua isnt a prospect anymore. He is a solidified star

    That's a complete mismatch, even more so than Khan and Canelo.

    What?

    That popped up out of nowhere. Brook was in negoations with vargas and GGG was in negotiations with eubank jr. Hearn was expecting both deals to be completed this week. Looks like its at the full 160. Kell has claimed for a while he will be moving up in weight and he does look big outside the ring during off-fights.

    I dont like the fight if im honest from a GGG perspective.

    Watched that Zeuge (?) fight last night and it really served to emphasise what an absolute miracle it was for Fury to outpoint 'Team Sauerland' in the reich. He looked a capable enough prospect, but the Italian easily won that fight and ended up with 2 drawn cards and a 1 point loss (for an overall majority draw, not sure I've ever seen one of those before). It really is disgraceful. No one in their super-middleweight stable looks like they would stand up against DeGale/Groves/Smith for me, even with big old Arthur getting back to ploughing through nobodies. That said, if you fight them on Germany you essentially have to knock them out.

    Didn't stay up to see Wilder beating the nipple chap.

    Rigo broke poor dickens jaw in one round last night. It was the only notable punch that was thrown during 3 minutes. Wilder needs to get to joshua early. Joshua is only going to improve with time. Wilder should really be all over him for his next fight.

    I didnt see any doctor inspect dickens, but i guess if its the corner or dickens who decided to pull him out, then thats it.

    AJ mandatory, joseph parker was in action last night. He looks horrible. They are billing him up as a challenge for AJ, but it will be an execution. Wilder has injured his hand and arm and could be out for quite some time. AJ is lining up stiverne as his next opponent. If he can stop stiverne, it will be a statement as stiverne hasnt been stopped before.

    Its Crawford vs Postol this weekend which im looking forward to. Unification fight at 140 pounds. Im going with crawford but its a close fight if you ask me.

    A lot of people are claiming becuase brook is bigger than GGG, brook has a chance. Brook cant win this one, getting punched by people ate 147 bounds is different from being punched by a devastating 160 pound beast. GGG is the real deal and I suspect he will stop brook late. I dont think GGG will go in there are try and win the fight early. He has 20+ straight knockouts and i think he is now at 15 middleweight title defends. He wants that b-hop record which stands at 20.

    Brook is @6 to win right now
