Eddie Hearn really is delivering PPVs actually worth buying. A rare occasion in British boxing.

Golden boy needs to be on the look out because I'm deadly serious when I say Hearn threatens to take away the Vegas payday and replace it with high profile stadium superfights. If Khan vs Pacqiuao happens on the UK then we're only further backing that idea. The talent Hearn has right now is monumental. If Khan actually beats Pacquiao then he's laughing. He'll be able to attract half of the 147 division to London.

Long story short. Huge times for world boxing events in the UK.

As for last night. A standard win for Katie Taylor.

Conor Benn - slugged out a win but seriously lacking fundamentals. Definitely young enough to sort that out. Has great movement but finds himself in more trouble than he need be. Can absolutely see him getting knocked out before they drill it into him though.

Derek Chisora absorbed round after round of punishment before absolutely destroying Carlos Takam in two punches. A sensational stoppage from the up and down Chisora who's got one of the best chins in business. Nothing really more to say, he hasn't got world level talent.

Dillian Whyte vs Joseph Parker.

Parker got absolutely bullied and he hated every second of it. By the time he got Whyte in trouble it was all too late and that was down to Dillian being exhausted more than anything else. Parker was horribly exposed. He's not an elite heavyweight. He's in a bracket above the likes of Charles Martin and below the likes of AJ and Wilder. He's quick and has solid skills but he's no knockout artist, his power is so clearly overhyped and he's got the height but not really the true heavyweight shape. I don't think Whyte is that much greater despite the win. He's certainly improved but his fighting style is just a knockout waiting to happen against AJ or Wilder.

Heavyweight boxing is in a very precarious place right now. Not even joking but Bellew has brought in David Haye as his advisor. Which I guess makes sense given they both have identical career paths but crazy at the same time.
