Really looking forward to Saturday.

Conor Benn's rematch should be a good test to gauge where he is. I felt he won the first fight by 2 points. Think he'll be more prepared this time but too early in his career to know.

I think Chisora vs Takam will be one of the best fights of the year.

Whyte vs Parker is a great match up and imo a genuine 50/50.
I think my prediction for one of the fights of the year was right.

What was also satisfying was there was a guy in the pub cheering on takam the whole way through...he suddenly became very quiet.

These guys are so tough it's insane I reckon one of those would knock me clean out.

It’s impossible for the average man in the street to comprehend the power and toughness. Absolutely impossible.

I’ve been ringside for a heavy spar between domestic heavyweights and I tell you, the sound of the shots landed makes you shudder!

Whyte has done a good job so far (admittedly aided by that clash of heads) in roughing Parker up, he's looked rattled and uncomfortable for most of the fight.

And didn't expect Parker to be the one flagging as the fight reached a close tbh.

And down he goes.....

Very strange performance by Parker.

Seems timid and uninterested.

Whyte looked tired and possibly hurt but no aggression or intent by Parker.
