As Brits, we love a good moan, what we don't love is dishing out hidings to our amateur opponents.

If we don't learn in time for 2020 there'll be a lot of talented boxers looking for work or education. We can't always blame the judges when the system is rotten.

Two kids get bored of real life, play video games and make silly videos on Vine and YouTube...AND MAKE MILLIONS.

Other kids that don't get out much watch them and fall in love. Life is good, then they decide they don't like each other.

Woman online says, 'real men settle it with their fists.' Both agree to do it. Introverted kids finally go out to see their heroes.

Boxing promoter gets scared that they will become him, so steals their thunder......and now we are here.

How Sway???

So, an old man from Eastern Europe fights a young man from Eastern Europe and a load of Americans and Brits lose their mind over the result.

Somewhere in the Mid-west a young American kid gets another good win on a card that no Americans took notice of.

Boxing is a strange sport, but we love it.

It all looks a bit strange over at the WBSS. What is really going on and can it ever achieve on its original aims of being, where we had the best fight the best?

Derek has no dance partner, but won't reschedule the performance. Will we get a solo?

It is rare in boxing that we get a PPV event where the fight has real meaning. Spence-Porter was that fight and it didn't disappoint. Fights like this are what will grow boxing as a sport and silence the MMA crowd.

Maybe it is time that Kell Brook gets his respect for handling Porter with the most ease/

Today we look at how lucrative boxing is.

Instagram can be deceiving. It will have you think that boxing is a money tree from which, everyone gets rich.

The truth is a lot more painful. It is a sport where the few, and often the same few, make the majority of money.

If you understand how the money works in boxing, you understand why people behave the way they do.

This is a quick round-up of a slow news week in boxing.

It's the week where we saw the Dark Destroyer announce a return, Eddie Hearn host a public workout that only people with microphones attended and somebody found Kell Brook...somewhere.

Hope you enjoy and please stay in touch:

We go back to 2008 and look at the GB squad and ask, why did some amateurs adapt to the pros better.

2008 was easily the most talented generation since 1976, bit for various reasons, we never got a hall of fame boxer out of that group.

Why do some people crack the pros and others don't?

We answer that today.

Please get in touch and let us know what you think.
