      Interesting, joe and Higgins had some negative things to say a few weeks back hinting they were being stitched up by Hearn .

      You do wonder if they have pulled the pin.

        Barry had been vocal about wanting a tough referee who would not let the fight get out of control. They weren't happy with the ref in the Whyte fight. Maybe there is more to the story.

            Surely at this stage in Parker's career he should be prepared to fight Chisora in Chisora's garden with Chisora's mother reffing?

              Either JP is genuinely ill or injured
              Or he has been offered something better ie. the Saudi card- as a reserve incase of AJ injury or a big undercard for much more $$
              Not for a second do I think JP got scared of Chisora like some are saying on other forums... he isn't a 12 year old kid he has fought tough guys before, thats a weak theory

                I doubt he is on the Saudi card, with Hearn promoting both events,

                I actually think he is genuinely sick, but threw it out there there is the possibility he pulled out because overall they haven’t seemed that happy, I don’t think he and chisora were that impressed they were on the undercard when most people paying ppv for that event were more interested in their fight. A way for Eddie to pay them less. That has been a talking point in boxing circles.

                    Worth a watch, the first fight I distinctly remember was Holyfield v Tyson. Really was Good v evil at the time.

                      Spence, who successfully defended his belts in a thrilling showdown with Shawn Porter in Los Angeles last month, was not wearing a seat belt and at some point was ejected from the vehicle as it flipped over several times.

                      Retard.

                              Quite a few vids for Evander and Bowe together which are funny- although does take some concentration to understand them especially Bowe. They are great mates though which is cool to see and they have some good banter

                                Errol Spence is very lucky , no broken bones and a few facial lacerations ,

                                maybe one of the few occasions wearing no seat belt saved someone, thrown clear of the car , ( somehow safely by the sound of things ) while it kept rolling,

                                Expected to make a full recovery

                                    @Godder From a boxing point of view, that is a concern, maybe if anyone can not be distracted from that , it is him , but I think it makes more sense to get involved in that tomfoolery when you are retired

                                        Agreed, but I guess if he's paid enough, he probably doesn't care.
