If you think that the division is bad now, imagine what it would have been like without those two. Also, saying Vitali is a joke is kinda dumb really.

They are awful for the division because they are brothers.

How is having two belt holders that will never fight each other a good thing for the division?

I understand the HW division is pathetic right now but the garbage matchups we're treated to are due in no small part to this monopoly.

Still deciding whether to pay the £15 for the Khan fight, will probably end up doing it although I'm going to miss all the one-sided psuedo-fights that are on at the moment.

What's with all the hate for Khan?

Probably because he got hyped up so much after his Silver Medal at the Olympics. Not his fault I know but thats how it goes.

Well apart from that one hideous moment vs Prescott he seems to have lived up to the hype so far. And he seems to be up for stepping up for competetive fights rather than sitting back on his belt and taking on no-hopers for the easy pay-day. which is a refreshing change in the boxing world these days.

Has De Gale fight started already? That was the only fight other than Khan I was interested in. On one hand I'd like to see DeGale go onto become a World Champ for Britain, but I can't stand his smug face either and would like to see it destroyed in front of a bunch of maniacal scousers tonight.

No was talking about the Cleverly fight being awful, they showed De Gale warming up during rounds.

Starting the 8th round in this fight.

Cleverly might be in a bit of trouble.

Cleverly gets the decision but wasnt that impressive.

Tbf his original opponent pulled out so was probably never going to impress in this with such little time to prepare for the new guy.

Worst seen Cleverly, but he needed a real tough fight, bit to close for comfort imo!

De Gale to KO him in Rd 1. 20/1

9th round stoppage for De Gale.

What a joke of a stoppage as well, **** me ref this is boxing and he is the champion.

Edit - Seeing replays I can see why he stopped it, I take back what I said.
