When you have a poor stable, you can't put on good fights. Sometimes you get lucky with a fight, but Eddie has had a weak stable for so long now that he cannot paper over the cracks.

Right now, MTK have a stronger stable than Matchroom.

Weak in the US and weak in the UK, which is why you'll see him in Spain and Australia more.

Are we watching AJ on the downside of his career?

Nobody got faster at 32, or better timing at 32, or more powerful at 32. all the greats slowed down by 32 and AJ will be no different. It means that he will have to stand and trade with opponents from now on.

Is he that sort of guy? Can Anthony Joshua do it?

Only time will tell.

When a 60-fight veteran fights a 20-fight novice what do you expect to happen?

Skills will rarely overcome experience in the boxing ring. Being there and doing it is so important in this sport and Canelo is living proof of that

There was something off about Ellie Scotney's opponent on Saturday night. You cannot be definitive without further info, but you suspec there is some form of anabolic/androgenic issue involved.

What saved Ellie was her skillset and workrate. Any lesser fighter might have suffered serious injury.

We need answers, or at least, clarity.

I am not sure Matchroom have many aces up their sleeve after Saturday. The roster looks devoid of stars and there is definitely nothing to excite the Americans, which will worry DAZN.

But a lot of prospects would have got a lot out of the show at the O2 and we will wait and see how hungry they are to get better and fulfill their potential.

The Whyte-Wallin fallout is crazy. There is a lot to unpick in this episode, but it boils down to one thing, matchmaking at that level is more about money than about challenge.

In all of this, you have to feel for Otto Wallin - let down by his team and let down by boxing.

We can only hope they make it right for him.

The Fury-Wilder 3 fight was really defined by such small margins. The ability of Fury to ride so many of Wilder's punishing right hands was the difference. In a shootout, the winner is the person that sustains less damage.

No notes needed today, just praise for two men that put it all on the line for boxing immortality.

We are three years into the Wilder-Fury saga. It isn't 100% conclusive yet but definitely swings 60/40 in Fury's favour. Hopefully we get a third fight that elevates this trilogy to the Bowe-Holyfield level.

This fight will be won on performance and desire, not tactics or nuance. They know each other too well now.

Respect to the promotional team on delivering a stacked card and justifying the PPV premium.

But, once this fight is over, this saga has to end. The belts need to flow again and big fights need to get made.
