3 minutes 6 seconds of utter mayhem. Barkley had beaten Hearns somehow. Benn very lucky the referee was not keen to step in for some naughty punches thrown at a stricken man.

Just watch the first punch again.

Never knew this, so it makes sense why it was such a big deal.

Chris Eubank Sr unexpectedly arrived at the venue alongside his son on Saturday. The pair had supposedly been estranged for years and Eubank Sr had criticised the match-up.

I don’t think they’ll be having events in Times Square again.

Looks like they've squeezed it in between sessions at The Crucible and kept the screens down.

300 invited guests inside a temporary structure in Times Square and everyone else outside watching on screens. It's the equivalent of getting the entire crowd of a football match to stand outside the ground watching on screens and expecting the prawn sandwich brigade to generate atmosphere inside.

Sounds like the idea was cooked up by nepo-babies who value elitism over atmosphere.

And yet they appeared on TV together last year,some of the "hype" around boxing is embarrassing.

The whole card was panned as a bore fest. And canelo's fight set a new record for least amount of punches thrown too apparently the next day
