You can't promise history and then expect us to praise effort.This whole Usyk-Dubois experience has felt like a massive ponzi scheme, with only the boing fans losing out again...My sense is that Usyk learned from the first fight, make adjustments based on what he saw and felt, delivering a completely different performance.We saw the Same DDD two ye…

Benn-Eubank II and Canelo-Crawford are cartoon fights. These are fights that are just there to keep revenue ticking over.

Make sure you listen to EP258 first.There is only so much money you can throw at boxing before you get diminishing returns.At the moment, it looks like boxers are just boxing to get paid, and have no desire to entertain the fans.

Boxing such a cruel sport.

Beterbiev versus Bivol, is the Hardcore’s dream matchup, but this fight doesn’t seem to have gathered much traction in the mainstream media.Is this is down to the effect of Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois, and the kind of emotional fatigue that boxing fans will have after such a big event?

There is no question that Anthony Joshua is a massive favourite in this fight against Daniel Dubois.From his experience, power, size and strangely enough skill, he has a lot of things over Daniel, but the real test is whether he still has the desire in his mid thirties to to be the man in the division again.To do so he’ll have to stop Daniel Dubois…
