Understandably more chat about how Yarde has been poorly managed in his career, but realistically what proper LHW champion of the last 25 years would he ever start favourite against? An aging Brahmer, maybe? I’m not sure a Buatsi, Parker or Smith fight would have altered that.

Poor Robbie catching strays

Adds interesting context to the RGD rise. This wasn’t above raising more needed tax (it won’t), it wasn’t above reducing harm (it won’t), protecting racing (it won’t) or driving growth (it won’t). It was all about PR and placating a rebelling group of ill informed Labour MPs.

🫡 There’s not many that you look back and say it was a privilege to watch, but Crawford was one. In and out unscathed. Everything achieved.

I feel like my eyes will never be clean again after watching that.

Paul vs. Joshua

5ive? 😂

It’s not a very Merry Christmas if you’re Bafode Diakite and you got boyed by Kevin Schade like he did for the first goal today.

If there’s ever a fixture any club would wish for when they’re in need of a morale boost like West Ham, it’s QPR in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Mbengue’s second yellow card today is up there with one of the most braindead you’ll ever see.

In a telling moment of how often my other half listens to me, she just asked why QPR aren’t nicknamed “The Rovers”. My son and I have QPR season tickets.

Benn’s won the big fight he can win. He’s not beating anyone good at 147-154. Surely they’re now stuck either paying $15m to fight an underwhelming opponent he can beat, or $15m to have him lose? Not entirely sure this is bad news for Hearn other than a short term ego hit.

Southampton there for the taking, but we deserve to be 2-0 down. Everything at half pace, no intensity. Every QPR player looks like they’re running through treacle.

😂 Absolutely nothing conflicted about this reporting.

I've been as big of an Usyk fanboy as anybody over the years, but having this "fight" as a world title defence is absolute nonsense and deserves to be called out as such.

Boxing is a joke of a sport.

We will.

The World Boxing Council would sanction two bald men scrapping over a comb if it had enough viewers. And as a bald man, I’d like Mauricio Sulaiman to know I’m currently fit and ready to go. Available at heavy or cruiser weight with some notice. Not bridgerweight though - I have standards.
