Tonight's action - spoiler

Anyone interested, josh up next

Shouldn't expect it to last to long.

Wow that fat guy can act.

It didn't

Josh disposed of the tin can with ease. Chunky fight looking good

Who's degale fighting??

groves is fighting froch in a football stadium for a world title while degale is fighting a nobody who's barely fought much past 6 rounders

just goes to show you where a bit of the right attitude will get you

Says a lot about Chisora that this guy took him 9 rounds, he needs to go in with a live opponent but there isn't anybody in Britain imo, Hughie Fury won't go near him due to his promoter, same with Tyson and Chisora. He could end up going the same route as David Price and just knocking these guys out.

Unbeaten Gevorg Khatchikian from the Netherlands

Who?

joshua doing what he needed, great physical specimen just hope he doesnt stagnate while there feeding him too many tin cans. difficult division to step up as they are very clear jumps

Is burns-crawford next??

First look for me at Joshua in the pro ranks. He at least looks in good condition, which is rare enough for HWs these days. Other than that, tonight didn't tell us anything really. Jab looked crisp, and it was a nicely timed left hook to get the KO, but it's hard to say much from a minute and a half of action. Shame.

he needs a chisora or king pin johnsen type fighter, i know he's not ready for them just yet. but someone who's durable doesn't posses massive power but will test his boxing skills and his engine more importantly

Big josh says the right things, glad he's a fan favourite. Fast car needs to sort out some competition. English title/ British title time I think.

Pointless exercise. Joshua looked sharp all the same.

Did Eddie just say British title fight in 6 months?

Chunky looking good. He has got the measure of this guy

He needs to fight more often I reckon. I have a feeling Eddie won't throw him into a British title fight until he has at least 10 fights under his belt.

Just said this on twitter, Johnson is a good fight. Not a lot of danger as Johnson doesn't hit hard enough, but it'll test his tank.

Strongy 6 months according to Eddie.

Chunky looking dodgy now

Haha degale wobbled by a guy with 40% KO ratio against carp opposition

anyone know what time the Burns fight is due to start??

Why the hate for Degale???

Did to Groves what Froch could not and is better all round then Groves.

Not his fault his promoter is a master of mediocrity.

groves has massively improved while degale has stagnated from when they first fought. if they fought tomorrow its a easy win for groves now

I thought that degale won the fight between them but atm i'd easily pick groves to beat degale, as C&R said groves has improved whereas degale hasn't

I really don't like the way DeGale fights. The guy could be a good fighter but the silly defensive antics and meaningless tippy tappy punches which are supposed to be show boating make him look like a muppet.

Styles make fights C&R

Froch is easy for any boxer to figure out.

You would not put money on Groves beating Degale if they fought tomorrow mate.

DeGale is getting caught too much despite winning comfortably, would be flattened at World level fighting like that.

Burns up now.

Crawford is slick, Ricky needs to roll back the years and keep the tempo of the Mitchell or katsidis fight to stand a chance. I hope he has it in him.

yes i would, this nobody has no power and had landed some big shots and hurt him at times. he's been there to be hit, something he couldnt get away with against groves

froch would also steam roll the "boxer" degale. degale is far too lazy to live with the pace froch would set

A fighter needs big fights.

Degake is fighting fringe world class opposition at the moment. Give him a big fight and he brings his A game like he did against Groves and the Olympics.

RAVING!!!!!!

think bika will a decent test, bika is a poor mans froch really and if degale has anything about him should easily out box him

Watching this in a pub with no sound. Won't be able to hear the pearls of wisdom (aka drivel) coming from Jim Watts mouth. Bonus!

Agreed

your fortunate on the watt front, but you are missing out on a cracking atmosphere

Here's hoping it's burns night, no controversy.

Anybody playing Jim Watt bingo?

Does Jim mention arum punches more than 10 times?

Burns jab straight right more meaningful for me 10 9

Fast hands on show from both men.

Burns looks sharp.

crowd could really help burns here tonight

tight round, burns started brighter and finished the better but crawford was better in the middle

Honeymoon period over. Some bright sparks asked for the sound to be turned on. How long til he says, "Ricky needs to throw puncheees in bunches against this guy, single shots will not get the job done"

1-1 for me

Better score this. It looks like it could be close

Burns - Crawford
10........9
10........9

Burns - Crawford
10........9
10........9
10........10

Burns' 3rd for me, Crawford not doing anything, though Burns only just nicked that really...
