Speaking of, in the main event Mundine brought some sweet dirty boxing...

Judge on the left isn't so good with his subtraction.

Unless I'm the one bad at math, that should be 95-94, right?

Eubank being far too cocky for a guy who hasn't put the other guy down yet.

Not impressed by Eubank Jr's performance tonight really. He was certainly at least a step above Quinlan but again, I never saw anything about him that says elite fighter.

He looked close to punching himself out by R6, a very messy left hook and ultimately a failure to get a guy that wasn't on his level out there much earlier.

His jab looked great though.

Collazo is one of those guys who probably no one will remember in like 15 years, but was a really solid pro. Hopefully he has gotten a few solid paydays out of all those big name fights he has been in.

It's cool how he's found a niche in training and promoting random foreigners who upset or give a scare to the home fighters. Hope he''s in a better place mentally nowadays.

He looked to be no worse than he was in the his old, "off training camp" periods. Honestly was doing a pretty solid job in the corner, though it probably helped that his guy Friday night decided was fighting in his style.

Welterweight titleholder Kell Brook and mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. will prepare to meet in May in Brook's hometown of Sheffield, England, after their camps made a deal on Monday.

The IBF confirmed the deal, the location of the fight and a date of May 20 -- though that could change -- in a letter to registered promoters. The letter, obtained by ESPN, also announced that the purse bid scheduled to take place Tuesday afternoon at IBF headquarters in Springfield, New Jersey, had been canceled.

Pacquiao vs Khan would be an interesting fight. Manny is perhaps diminished enough that the fight could be competitive. Khan's still fast and sharp enough to where I think he would do a better job of boxing Pacquiao than Algieri or Vargas. Seems like Manny doesn't have one punch power at welterweight either, although I think he could get Khan out with one punch.

That reminds me I should probably get this pound for pound post up that I've been sitting on for a while...
