    Been some cracking fights so far.
    For all the ethical issues I have with Saudi, they are getting some great fights on.
    Plus Eddie Hearn could potentially lose every fight on this card, still.

    Really good to see the Brits delivering.

    Ball deserves to be a star & Sheeraz will be one.

    I think he’s getting stopped but I’m hoping for Dubois to do the business.

    You reckon? I think Dubois will beat Hrgovic. Thought Ball had lost myself, but agree about Sheeraz.
    Bivol is a class operator.

    Hope Dubois wins. Looking forward to seeing who wins the pleasure of being knocked out by Joshua next time out.

    I think Wilder will lose too. Since his Fury trilogy he's looked past it.

    I think Zhang will knock him out early doors.

    So happy to be proven wrong about Dubois. The fight was going exactly as I thought it would early on but he showed some bravery & pulled it out.

    I thought Ball edged it 115-113 but love his style & thought he won his last fight too. It’s been a brilliant night for the Brits.

    I think Zhang will stop Wilder early too.

    Dubois with the performance of his career. Now we will hopefully get a Wembley domestic clash in September with a world title on the line.

    Woeful again from Wilder. He seriously needs to retire. Looked like he turned his back as well.

    Definitely turned his back, all credit to Zhang for waiting until he could hit him square in the face before throwing the finisher.
    Great night of boxing.

    Reflexes gone. Just can’t pull the trigger.

    Legs have gone. He can't set himself to throw the big right any more and that was what built his career, despite never having orthodox good technique. Didn't look too badly hurt but looked overmatched against a fringe contender. Time to hang up the gloves before he gets himself badly hurt.

    Too worried about being knocked out to have the confidence he had as a younger man. In fairness, I didn’t rate him in any of the fights I’ve seen him in except the first Fury fight.

    As an aside, I cannot fecking abide Eddie Hearn. Enjoyed watching his stable fall flat on its collective face.

    He’s poor technically but I always fancied him to land at some point until last night. I didn’t have any confidence in him at all. I almost pitied him

    I wanted Warren to win but only because he’d got the Brits. I couldn’t care less about Warren & Hearn’s rivalry.

    However it was funny watching him try & put a brave face on it.

    Ford & Hrgovic losing were upsets that he won’t have seen coming.

    10-0 win for Warren. Eddie will be licking his wounds. Hope they have a 5 vs 5 night regularly though now.
