Boxing

Wins his return fight after a 2 year absence from the ring in just 39 seconds

Lots of good boxing on over the weekend, Khan won (which i know is not popular with most Boltonians), Frampton won and i watched 3 great fights from America yesterday. Gervonta Davis and Jermell Charlo were amazing and will be the next big stars in boxing. As for Adrian Broner, what a prick he is 

To be fair,I don't think Khan had much to beat. I still think he'll get chinned by anyone half decent.

Hughie Fury v Sam Sexton at the Macron this Saturday.

Also - and I'm not a fan of women's boxing - American two gold Olympic champion and super star, Savannah Marshall, makes her UK debut.

The fight is going to be televised live for FREE on Chanel 5.

Sexton has been found wanting when he's come up against decent opposition losing twice to Chisora and once to David Price.

Should be an easy win for Fury (hope he passes the drugs test afterwards though).

If he lost to price what is he doing getting in the ring again.

For the money of course.

Looks like Sexton is making excuses for his defeat in advance.

Forgot about the Fury fight but watched the real deal Lomachenko beat Linares, what a great fight that was! Lomachenko has had 415 amateur and professional fights and lost just 2 

Lee Selby v Josh Warrington tonight.

I rate Selby, a difficult boxer to hit and prepared to travel into his opponents den.

Warrington is an all action man and likened to Ricky Hatton.

A complete contrast in styles and being fought in Warrington's beloved Ellan Road Stadium, Leeds.

I've never seen Warrington fight, so with nothing really to go on I'll back the fighter I know (Selby) to win.

Winner to fight Frampton in Belfast later this year (providing they come through it reasonably unscathed), so another good pay day to look forward to!

Warrington won in front of his home crowd on a split decision.

Selby was cut twice by clashes of heads and the ref was very lenient about Warrington continually hitting him at the back of his head.

Warrington however was full on for all the bout and made Selby mix it with him at times rather than dodging and weaving that is his trademark.

Warrington v Frampton should be a crowd pleaser with Frampton having too much class for him - I think.

That was never a split decision, Warrington won by a good few rounds. Not sure what some of these judges are watching sometimes.

I'm liking this guy.

Lomachenko having the biggest impact on a sport since Tiger Woods

There is a podcast on there from Costello and Bunce (boxing commentators) that you might like to hear.

Tyson Fury fighting some bloke a cruiserweight not even ranked at cruiser what's that all about? Big brave bully AJ too scared to go to America to fight Wilder but say's he will seriously fuck him up over here?? Coward is our AJ he was actually scared of Parker and got help from the ref who stopped Parker from fighting inside yes AJ is a scared bully in my book Wilder will seriously fuck him up more like. No wonder he wants to fight here so he can get help.

Why should AJ go to America? He has more belts and is a far bigger name than Wilder. If Wilder wants the fight he needs to come over here. As for Parker he was the one looking scared, he barely threw a punch as he was scared of being countered.
