If you was the ref you would have let him carry on?

wow kovalev is the real deal! cleverley got shown up..not in the same league.

great win for barker, always rated him and thought he would win.

Anyone who has followed Kovalev over the last 18 months in particular knew Clev was potentially in for a pounding, he wasn't ready for him IMO, and now his status as a paper champion is over he can go back to the drawing board, take stock and work on improving his flaws, he's still young he's got time.

I'm so pleased for Barker, I couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, and to get up from a body shot like that is amazing, I can't remember too many fighters get up from a body shot to come back and win, especially in a world title fight.

agree with all of that, didnt know kovalev before this but will be following him now as will many.... these russians are turning out to be the next best think with golovkin too

Golovkin might be a little offended if he heard you call him Russian... He's from Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan have produced good armature boxers for a long time, maybe we'll start seeing more of them make their mark on the pro game. FWIW I think Barker should stay clear of him and Martinez and fight either Chavez Jnr or Murray.

yes kazakhstan! oops

think barker should stay away from him too, he has a mandatory against felix sturm next.

the murray one after that would be a great fight and good money for both

Hearn is talking about getting Sturm over in December, Sturm would be a good scalp even though he's past his best. A fight against Quillian would be good too, although I reckon he hits harder than Golovkin.

Raymundo Beltran

Screwed

Terrible decision wasnt it.

I had Beltran winning at least 7 rounds including a 10 - 8 knockdown.

Burns has some guts to fight on with a broken jaw but was badly beaten IMHO.

not seen burns last two fights but seems he has been quite fortunate both times.

he is going to come up short big time soon i feel, hes a real hardworker but bet hes glad the broner fight never came off!

I thought he won 10 for me just about

Burns yes was injured but his plan was awful

Burns may have to retire... had a plate put in his jaw at the hospital.. wont be seeing him for a very long time but hopefully we will eventually

remarkable he carried on for so long ... so tough

Jid Galahad looked the real deal last night.

Can obviously punch and took a few punches himself.

The only thing that gets me is how many of Ingles fighters keep their hands low when jabbing. Leaves them open to getting tagged . If they are unlucky just once against a big puncher then it will be good night.

yes galahad looked good, was a really good fight infact.

I dont think galahad will go far though, maybe european but not world.

eubank jr was impressive to stop that guy who really came to fight, showed some power to stop him which others have failed to do, impressive.

over in las vegas danny garcia was brilliant against matysse..showed quality, khan wouldnt beat him in a rematch.

mayweather showed his class, still the king of boxing!! alvarez looked huge in the ring compared to mayweather but he is just tooooooo slick!

Nobody is beating Mayweather
