    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.

      Errol Spence flipped his Ferrari, seems to be questionable reports on his condition, the footage does not look great https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-car-accident-videos-surface-horrific-crash--143271

        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.

            I listened to this the other day in the gym ,

            Evander although such a tough dude , had an innocence about him, reminded me of bubba from forest gump, my momma used to say this, my mumma always said that .

                By all reports he is a Really good fella , no one has a bad word to say about him, in a sport where it isn’t always that way

                  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.

                                    According to wikipedia he never got back to them and they went with Foreman . Hogan has a grill out now too, doesn't seem to be doing too well.

                                        Wow wee. Had forgotten this fight was even on and little (or even no) coverage on the news here.

                                        Ortiz looked well in control there and then bam...goooone

                                          I watched this at the pub and was with mates on a pub crawl so didn't see as much as I would have liked.

                                          What I did see was a superior boxer once again get sloppy and knocked out by a sloppy boxer that saw an opening and took it. Hardest hitter on the planet.
