Rumour had it that Eubank was always going to duck but Brook .........

I like the guy, think he's a much better fighter than Khan and give him an outside chance but it's still a ridiculous fight on paper

GGG should be fighting Saunders or DeGale not a ****ing WW

Looks like Luis Ortiz is going to leave Golden Boy.

Thank god.

Ridiculous to have a legite top 10 heavyweight fighting on the undercard of a welterweight who won't even fight the top guys in his division.

He cant afford to be sitting out for a few years at his age

And Fury charged with doping

If convicted, it may well be the end of his career as he doesnt appear to be the type to work his way back

Hatton Welcomes WBA's Decision on Lucas Browne's Drug Test - Boxing News

What a farce - whole thing was a stitchup from the beginning
Bullshit.

His B sample also came back positive. The "it must have been in my food" argument is the oldest in the book. Moreover, the claim that a fat-burning agent doesn't help a professional athlete in a highly cardiovascular sport is ****ing asinine.

Blame it on the dirty Russians, they spiked me! Everyone knows only Russians cheat!
He should be banned for life.

Rumours that Joshua will fight Kubrat Pulev in November.

That's a good fight. Pulev is handy.

Fight was delayed because Browne insisted upon testing

Browne passed numerous random tests in the leadup and then fails one a couple of days before the fight after he has landed in Chechnya

Have a look at the fight as well

Chagaev's best mate is a murderous warlord who stood on the ring apron and issued instructions to his fighter and the ref during the bout - instant DQ right there

Whole thing was a setup

Do a search on the experiences of Oquendo in the same country

I watched the fight.

Chagaev is a much, much more skilled boxer than Browne. If I recall correctly, he was beating the crap out of Browne until Browne got a lucky punch in, which is always a chance in the heavyweight division, and particularly if you're a drugs cheat.

The steak thing is complete rubbish.

Passing drugs tests before hand doesn't mean anything. It's easy enough as it is to pass drugs tests. We don't need to let the cheaters back in when they've been found out.

Same thing with Tarver. He's been caught. He should **** off.

Ummm so Brook has won the first three rounds, quite convincingly.

Long way to go...but could it happen?

International Coach
Canelo might be having a re think about ducking GGG, definitely looked vulnerable in the first few rounds.
