Referee called the fight early IMO. I mean Horn didn't stand a chance. But he didn't look too hurt to continue IMO.

I thought Byrd did the right thing. The body shots Horn took started to take their toll. Yes he could have gone on but to what avail? He may have sufferd career ending damage.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

http://cdn.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/23765083/heavyweight-world-titlist-deontay-wilder-accepted-terms-offered-fellow-titlist-anthony-joshua-promoter-eddie-hearn

Heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilder has agreed to the terms offered by Anthony Joshua's camp for them to meet for the undisputed title later this year in Joshua's home country of the United Kingdom, Wilder co-manager Shelly Finkel told ESPN on Monday.

For the fight they said they agreed to for later this year, Finkel said the target date is Sept. 15, but the fight could be in October or November because Sept. 15 is the proposed date for the rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin, which they would not compete with.

Only disappointing thing I heard, when GGG vs. Canelo was finalized...Backup was in place for GGG vs. Saunders at the Forum!!!!!

But, I'm not completely mad. If GGG beats Canelo, I hope they bring that fight to the Forum again. Would pay good money to see that at the Forum.

Anybody going to Staples Center for Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter Jr.?

Was going to get a group buy going with my friends and fam, but had some expenses come up and won't be able to go.

Watched Claressa Shields vs Hanna Gabriels. Hanna dropped Claressa in the first round. Shields got off the deck to dominate the rest of the fight but it wasn't easy, Gabriels gave her all she wanted. I didn't like the way Shields handled the post fight interview. She showed no class. I don't know if Christina Hammer can beat her but it wouldn't bother me if she did.

Martin Murray goes all in on Billy Joe Saunders after Saunders pulls out of their fight for a second time claiming injury, when he really was hoping for a shot with GGG. Murray has trained basically all year for this fight and never got compensated. If you sign the contract make the fight if not at least compensate your opponent.

Wilder/Joshua needs to get done this year. Too much "marinating" in the sport already. I also enjoyed the beatdown Crawford gave Horn. Hopefully, Spence/Crawford happens soon!

I'm not as high on Porter as I was when he started his career. I saw his workouts with Pacquiao and thought he was more of a boxer than he's shown. IMO he's to easy to hit. He takes a lot of punishment. I think Crawford would pick him apart. Spence is a better match up for him though I think he'd lose.

I'm torn on Danny. He's a better match up with Spence also. He's a better boxer. He's a good match for both Errol and Terence. I like Garcia but he doesn't impress me as one who wants to put in the work.I can't make a choice on who would win or lose in those matches.

Pacquiao vs Matthysse

Um...not sure if Pacman had a good fight or if Matthysse is just done. When I heard about the fight I thought to myself, Matthysse ..really? Didn't he retire? But Pacman got 3 knockdowns. Pretty good.
