Wallin looked unfit. Great win for Dubois.

Wonder what's next for AJ since Wilder lost and may very well retire? Parker? Dubois? No obvious big one unless he gets winner of Fury v Usyk and I don't see that happening.

Wilder as you suggest should call it a draw now.
AJ looked surprisingly decent against Wallin but may have to settle with a bout against Dubois next which might actually be a decent scrap.

Reggie_Perrin

AJ has a problem that he's not going to get a shot at the unified/undisputed/linear titles any time soon. Fury v Usyk will have a rematch clause or the belts will be scattered to the winds again if the winner retires.

Dubois is a tough lad with youth on his side. One of decent new crop. Can't believe Parker is only 31 anorl, seems to have been around for ever. Andy Lee is turning into a world class coach.

Misura

It might be that the recent court case regarding the european super league and the current LIV thing in golf, has given some people an idea about the future & new spiritual home of boxing. 🤔

Reggie_Perrin

Misura it's always followed the money. Manilla, Kinshasa, Vegas, etc. Prize fighting innit.

🥊 Naoya Inoue vs Marlon Tapales tonight, for the undisputed Super-Bantamweight Championship!!!

25/0 with 22 K/Os, world champion across two weights, pound for pound, the best boxer in the world!

Inoue's a class act, heart and guile, this is brilliant

Very good fighter, in the mix for lb for lb. Has the height (same as Pacquiao) to go up the weights even further. Love to see him get to fly and feather and paste some yanks.

king_of_the_slums

Done it, first boxer to hold all 4 belts at Super Bantamweight. Tapales gave him a fight but just couldn’t stand up to that right.

Reggie_Perrin

king_of_the_slums yeah, the big money and wider global recognition comes at feather and above most of the time. Not fair but usually the case.

Boxing doesn’t do itself any favours does it?
Watched that Jonas fight last night and Mayer must have won that by 4 rounds at least.

Excellent article. I remember learning about Tony Galento for the first time when BBC screened the wonderful series, 'The Greatest Prize in Sport'.

Cooley

I’ve lost interest in boxing.
Too much showboating.
Too much talking about contracts.
Fight’s on. Fight’s off.
Where are the superstars? The real great fighters? Is there a modern day equivalent of a Hearns, Hagler, Tyson, Laing?
I’d rather watch the arras.

Travis_Bickle

Cooley still a lot going on down the weight divisions outside of the UK. Too much of the WWE about British boxing at the moment.
