I’m surprised Price is still in Fury’s thoughts.
Quite. Maybe Price has a point about Fury's motivation for this.
His motivation would be trying to get a piss easy fight that he could sell.
I’m guessing he’d go the route of Price, Briggs then Joshua.
Too close to call.
Stephen Smith retired due to a chunk of his ear ripping from the side of his head. Lost on decision in the 9th. He was about 5 rounds down.
Looks like he’ll retire as he can’t make that next step up in quality.

DeGale froze in the headlights. Reminded me a bit of the time he lost against George Groves back in the day.
Billy joe Saunders master class to batter Lemieux. Took every round according to one judge. He’s called out GGG and this will happen if golden boy don’t get their act together.
AJ fighting Parker march 31st. In my opinion it’s his year to become undisputed heavyweight champion.
Parker then wilder then fury.

My first thought on hearing the news was "AJ walkover", but then I thought Klitschko would marmalise Fury.
GGG is banging out Canelo on May 5th.
They're apparently looking at staging the fight in Vegas or even Mexico City itself. The fact that GGG would even consider either of those shows how confident he is.
GGG isn’t arsed where he fights.
I think he’ll have his right hand ready for Canelo’s slip to the left. I can’t believe how often he slipped the exact same way and wasn’t punished. GGG will let his fists go more too as he knows Canelo can’t hurt him.

That Gassiev final round from last night was just a great performance.
Groves Eubank tomorrow.
Pretty interesting fight this. Eubank much faster obv, but untested against punching power like Groves.
Could go either way, if I had to give a prediction it'd be Eubank by decision or TKO in the later rounds.

Groves will be too big for him and been in against more quality opposition. He won’t let Eubank fight in his arrogant style. Groves will tie him up, lean all over him and generally frustrate him when needed.
BTW I’m going for a Groves win on points.
Should be a good fight, hopefully Eubank wins as Groves is a tit. Eubank is far fitter, far more technical, much faster, but as said above, he's never been cracked on the chin by a right hand like Groves. Froch said he hit Eubank as hard as he could in sparring, and Eubank shrugged, laughed, and just kept coming at him, and Froch has massive power.
They’re both tits. Eubank being the bigger tit with an even bigger tit on his shoulder.
Eubank needs to stay away from repeating his billy joe performance and have a go. We know Groves won’t freeze

I agree it could go either way, but ultimately I reckon Groves may have too much experience and power for Eubank. Interesting words from Froch, but he's not in his fighting prime now.
I think Froch also said he's never been hit as hard as Groves hit him either, but that could have been a different sparring partner.
Regardless, it's a tough one to call, & they both have contrasting styles, so it should be a decent fight.

I would really like Junior to get knocked out.
Here's that quote:
"I've sparred one [Eubank Jr], fought the other of course, and it is impossible for me to make a case for Groves to win their fight.
"I just don't think he has the capability of stopping Chris Eubank Jr and now, if you don't stop Chris Eubank Jr you don't win on points.
"He [Eubank Jr] is tough as old boots, believe me. It was far harder sparring him than it was fighting Groves with those small gloves on at Wembley.
"Sparring with him was competitive, uncomfortable and I hit him with around six or seven right hands - the same right hand that knocked Groves out - and I couldn't have hit Eubank Jr any sweeter. He just rolled off, looked at me and carried on punching."
