Yup I saw that on the First Take. That would amazing! Although I'm still very skeptical about this fight.

I'd look forward to that fight more than perhaps even AJ vs WK. Curious to see Canelo fight at 160. I think he'll only benefit from the added weight.

Well, if Canelo beats GGG - I honestly won't be surprised. I'm just not sure this fight will ever happen. Yeah I know Hoya promised, but I just don't know. Defeat will have long term consequences to both men.

AJ on fight vs Klitschko:

"To knock him out would be the cherry on the cake, but to win whichever way, I think it's very possible."

"This is a fight that can change (me) from champion to legend overnight."

Anthony Joshua on upcoming opponents: "I've got them all pinned up somewhere and I'm just going to pluck them off one by one."

Yeah, Eddie Hearn is aiming for a post-war record crowd of 90,000. 50k tickets were sold out in an hour. Second 'batch' should be available in a few days.

AJ is in New York (and the US) for the First Time, and I guess they're just loving him.

Pacquiao will fight Amir Khan on April 23rd. Not sure how I feel about this

David Haye vs Tony Bellew tonight.(in ~3hours)




Fight's press conf. was fun:

[rocwell]

Haye: "I'll probably knock him out with a jab. I could win the fight with one hand, just my left hand, I wouldn't even need my right hand"

[rocwell]

WHAT A START! They hate each other

EDIT: Hhahaa, AJ is loving the fight

EDIT 2: Wow. Haye just got knocked the fuck out. Bell saved him

[rocwell]

Is Haye still alive? Hahaha, this could be the best comeback of all time if Haye finds a way to win this. How the hell is he standing. Damn

[rocwell]

Wowwww what a fight! what a win! Towel is thrown! Haye got knocked the fuck out!! Respect to him tho, he fought till the end, and it looks like he injured his leg in early rounds

Tyson Fury set to make a return in May? Not sure what I make of that, but I'd LOVE to see him against AJ this summer. Not likely to happen, with the mandatories on the belts, but still ... would love to see Fury make a "triumphant" return.
