Great display by Luke. About the same mate. Credit to Campbell, he's stood his ground and gave a good representation of himself. Thought he was out of it in the 5th, but showed real grit and determination in the 6th.

A tremendously gutsy display by Campbell.. left it all in the ring and tested Lomachenko on occasion. A better fight than I expected it to be. No shame in losing like that. Edited by dollardays (31 Aug 2019 11.44pm)

Perspective. That was the equivalent of GGG beating Dillian Whyte. Loma is an all time great imo.

Povetkin has just beaten Hughie Fury on points. Hard to see where young Fury goes from here. Three times he has stepped up and three times he’s fallen short. Would like to see him in some domestic battles, maybe David Price or Del Boy? Personally I think Hughie Fury should step down to Cruiserweight... He will never achieve anything at Heavyweight and now Usyk has stepped up Fury has a chance of winning a title in a poor division.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Never thought of that, good point though. Most cruiserweights step up to heavyweight for the money, but as you say, can’t see him winning anything at heavyweight.

At six foot six I’m just not sure he could lose that weight and still be strong. I always thought Herbie Hide should have gone down to cruiserweight as I think he would have cleared up. Britain’s possibly best ever cruiser would have been Henry Cooper. Of course the cruiserweight division was not around back then but that would of been his weight class. Just think, if he could floor Ali what he would have done to any cruiser?

The stock of the heavyweight division has risen so much since the talented yet unexciting Klitschko's exited the scene. So I can't really blame fighters for wanting a bite of the $$$$$$$$$$ cherry. As has been said though, for some it's a weight division too high, though personally I'm not sure Hughie Fury is world class at any weight.
