118-110, 118-109, 119-108.

Do we think that's fair or is it so outrageously bad we'll pretend it never happened.

What was the fight, McG?

[McGlashan]

Victor Postol was superb as he dragged Josh Taylor into deep waters. On account of the knockdown everyone seems to have it to Taylor, specifically 114-113.

In terms of the away fighter clearly winning a handfull of rounds yet inexplicably having them go the other way, this is the worst set of scorecards I've ever seen.

I had it 115-112 but the way the rounds went I could see it being closer than that but couldn’t see how anyone could have it wider, given Postol generally won his rounds comfortably. The right man got the nod but the cards were an utter shambles. Scotland becoming the worst place in the world for bent cards.

And it’s AJ v Povetkin. Never ever in doubt.

[Marky147]

Long video, but covers all the Wilder stuff at the very beginning.

[Marky147]

They start covering Wilder at the beginning, and carry on talking about it all until 41m

[Bazzaboy]

I’ll have a watch of that later but if Eddie says he wanted the Wilder fight now he’s lying. Price getting fed to Povetkin on the last undercard turned Eddie’s cards face up so I’m inclined not to believe any of his bluster.

Amir gets another handpicked opponent that has already been sparked by Spence and Garcia.

[McGlashan]

Hearn deserves an award if he has cockteased the Americans, came of smelling of roses, and negotiated home advantage with Povetkins team.

After a couple more knock over jobs he'll somehow make a PPV out of two irrelevant fighters in Brook and Khan.

[Marky147]

He doesn't say that, but does offer Wilder $20m for anyone he wants in NY, plus AJ in the UK, and think it was a 50/50 split of the rematch in USA, if he wins the first.

At least that's I got from it, when I watched it yesterday

I'd pay a score to watch Brook & Khan tear each other up, so don't think t's that bad a PPV.

Maybe I'm too easy to part with my cash, which is something most people at my poker tables would confirm

[Bazzaboy]

The problem with Khan v Brook is it will be a fight between two guys who won’t have won a meaningful  fight in years by the time they get in the ring. Both are now marking time waiting on thy fight happening rather than going out and fighting world level guys.

Won't they get broken up, if they fight any of the top boys at the weight?

Surely might as well just have them try ironing each other out, and then they can both jog on.

Then in 10 years, Brook and Naz can do sumobox, or something

And they are in different weight divisions.

Both have waster their prime years. Three, maybe it's 4 yours ago now, Khan was building a fantastic CV. Now they both want a big pay day and Hearn with his PPV quota is happy to oblige.

Pacquiao's name was bandied about at the Khan presser. It would take a name of that caliber to derail the process. He's fighting Mattyhse in 2 weeks time, in Malaysia on account of some IRS ducking, so the idea of him coming to the UK is not as far fetched as it would first sound. That said I suspect he has slipped enough for Lucas to get the win.

More fast Eddie

I would marry Eddie.
