Dunno what the level of interest in the sport is on here, but we'll see how it goes.

Good fight on Sky Sports tonight - Tony Bellew vs Edison Miranda. Both big hitters, both been on the floor as well. Bellew is the better fighter and should win if he boxes off the back foot and keeps him at range, but he likes to get involved up close, and may be tempted into a fight.

Andre Ward vs Chad Dawson on in the early hours too.

Burns vs Mitchell was excellent tonight. Burns put on a performance no one expected, most had it a 50/50 going in

Here's the KO in round 4

I think the fight makes sense from a money point of view, but I think Haye is too small to beat either of the Klitschkos

Vitali is starting to look old mind you, so Haye has a punchers chance, but overall I'd still fancy him to outpoint Haye

i was shocked to read corrie sanders has been murdered during an armed robbery at a birthday party he was at,i remember him knocking out wladimir klitschko and klitscko's been terrified of being hit ever since,big brother got him back later but it was still a great knockout and now he's been killed by a coward in his native south africa.

That's right Steve, Wladimir started working with Manny Steward after the Sanders fight, fighting behind his long jab and taking no risks. He's very difficult to hit clean now

Very sad about Sanders, couldn't believe another boxer has went so young
