I’m not too sure about a Wallace rematch, but Whittaker facing the winner of Buatsi vs. Hutchinson has to be made for early 2027. After that performance, it’s an even more intriguing matchup. #Boxing #WhittakerWallace

It’s also not worth wasting any energy on the refereeing, especially in the final round… #WhittakerWallace

Whittaker will be the winner on the cards, but I’d be kicking myself if I was Wallace. He had Whittaker on the ropes, but turned up the heat way too late. Whittaker could do with a tune-up or two before a potential world title shot. #WhittakerWallace

Matt Astbury @mattastbury.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Where was this from Wallace earlier in the fight? He’s deciding to turn it on with two rounds to go when the damage is already done… #WhittakerWallace

Matt Astbury @mattastbury.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

All too easy for Whittaker, Wallace has offered next to nothing throughout the first six rounds. Expect Whittaker to hunt for the stoppage. #WhittakerWallace

Struggling to determine what’s worse, Manchester City’s Premier League charges or the newly created name ‘Shamchester City’.

The Premier League's verdict has been published and Manchester City are guilty. Appeal deadline is October 2, if City fail, the board have a lot to answer for when it comes to their bullishness in the public statements made during the investigation. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC

An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

Not a big fan of drinking being allowed in view of the pitch. Can't be having the Box Park mob chucking overpriced pints everywhere during a match.

Some bowler, a great character. I don’t think there is one cricket fan who does not like Mark Wood. Congratulations on an England career which has just about everything, an Ashes, a T20 World Cup and a 50-over World Cup.

A shame Hamzah Sheeraz has vacated the WBO super middleweight title, it felt like he was next for Canelo, albeit his fight against Christian Mbilli is no gimme. Can’t see a Canelo-Sheeraz fight happening now the Brit has no world title belt at the table. #Boxing

The audacity of Edgbaston to call themselves the People’s Home of Cricket when charging £165 for an Ashes ticket next year.

Alan Shearer on commentary was losing his mind over City. It’s Enzo Maresca’s fourth competitive game in charge, and second since the transfer window closed. The transformation won’t be instant with all the new arrivals. #mcfc

City up and running in the Champions League with a 2-0 win at Porto. Some promising moments where everything clicked, but City dropped off massively after scoring, and could get punished by better teams. Bouaddi looked comfortable in midfield, very promising. #mcfc

Ridiculous how little power was on that Haaland header for City’s opener. #mcfc

Pure greed from Edgbaston with those Ashes ticket prices, used to cost £80 to sit in the Eric Hollies, now it’s not far away from £200.

City's transfer business this summer has been very scatter gun, surely Enzo Maresca needs to have words with the board about how to conduct it in future windows. #MCFC

Hope Hrgovic gets the plaudits he deserves for this performance, he absorbed every punch from Itauma. Itauma simply gassed out, he needs a long rest now. But at 21 years old he will come back, there is still an exciting future ahead. #Boxing #MosesHrgovic

It feels like Hrgovic’s punches are lacking any sort of power behind them. Itauma well on top and closes the fifth with a thumping uppercut which Hrgovic eats. #Boxing #MosesHrgovic
