I watched it as somebody who couldn’t give a shit about youtubers. Never a draw, KSI won, but I cannot emphasise enough how little I care - so why I watched it, I’ll never know.

I watched it as all that Youtube drama is my guilty pleasure, when I'm bored I just have a browse though some videos so I was following the build up. I was disappointed in KSI to be honest, I think Logan looked the much more natural boxer but tired. KSI's only real hope was to get inside and fight somewhat dirty.

Who the fuck is this African lad who just pummelled the head off of Eggington on the Khan undercard on Sky?!

While i listened to it on the radio when it happened, i've just been catching up the highlights.

I thought in the lead up Khan was doing interviews saying he'd worked faults out of his game? Like getting carried away and letting his guard drop, but he made all the same mistakes he used to and as the fight went into the sixth he was leaving gaps all over the place. Maybe he decided that it wasn't working trying to correct his flaws so instead he worked on being able to absorb more punishment. He's accepted that the slightest whiff on his chin means he's going to end up on his arse, so he's focused on the best ways to get back up? Don't get me wrong, his fights are exciting because of the banzai way he sometimes goes off, but not confident at all that this is a stellar come back, Kell Brook must be really fired up now.

He won't fight brook unless there is absolutely zero options he knows he can't beat him and plays the "I'm at a higher level card rofl" perhaps the worst chin I have ever seen on a boxer with his talent.

Just realised the GGG/Alvarez fight is tonight/early hours tomorrow which means i have to start the mental acrobatics it takes me to figure out time zones, are we GMT or DST, so much dicking about... Anyone feel like saving me the bother, what time's the bell?

It's funny that Khan and Mayweather are both after the same fight. What kind of world do we live in now?

Is this what Pacquiao has become? Just a cash cow for other fighters to earn a packet off of? Win or lose, his rep is a draw on it's own. btw, love a headline with his name in, saves me having to look up how to spell it (y)

We're GMT so in the UK the fight will be about between 3am-4am.

Ta for that.
