Canelo Alvarez added three-time super-middleweight world champion to his Hall of Fame resume last night in Saudi Arabia, defeating Christian Mbilli on points.

The event was dubbed Mexico vs The World, but going in we didn't realise the officials were going to be on the side of the Mexicans also. Perhaps we should have known.

Canelo is an all-time great, but we knew that anyway, so what bangs or we actually getting for all these Saudi bucks?

The moment Abu Dhabi was crowned Fight Island it's never failed to deliver incredible fight nights and UFC 333 was no exception.

Mike Malott emerged as a legit welterweight contender with a viral second-round KO of Joaquin Buckley at home in Canada, on a UFC Fight Night once again stacked with finishes.

Edmonton produced 12 finishes from 14 fights, equaling the record set earlier this year, offering the question: has the quality of UFC fighters dropped or has the roster found fresh motivation to finish fights?

The boys, as always, lead the debate.

Daniel Dubois is the man. It's taken a journey to get here, but is he now the best heavyweight on the planet not named Oleksandr Usyk?

Here are our thoughts, leave yours in the comments.

The UFC Apex delivered a pretty solid fight card at the weekend featuring a wave of knockouts, plenty of drama but very little controversy – that happened on the scales the day before.

Despite 8 consecutive finishes to rap about, surprisingly today's show goes heavy on judging after an event that saw a trio of weight cuts being missed and a high-profile eye-poke penalty being distributed early.

Boxing is booming, right? So where have all the championship fights gone?

No male world champion has had more than two world title fights this year. The pound-for-pound list is littered with single figure outings, whilst the women's game isn't much busier.

In a time when stadium fights and unifications are regular, why has nobody taken 2026 by storm? Can you name a Boxer of the Year this year?

The boys get stuck into the facts of figures of the sweet science in 2026.

Nine first round knockouts – 11 in total – from 14 fights isn't just insane, it's a new UFC record.

And so, whilst the main event may have sucked the gas out of the room – we kind of expected that – prior to the women's flyweight title being contested their was violence all over the place in Salt Lake City.

We discuss the current state of women's divisions in the UFC, before getting very excited about the plethora of knockouts served up in Utah and the unveiling of three fights for UFC 335.

Ben Whittaker retained his unbeaten record in the pro ranks, but all talk of a world title fight coming next should be shelved as, once again, he muddled his way across the finish line.

The Olympic silver medallist dominated Irishman Conor Wallace for nine rounds of their title eliminator, only to run out of gas and was left hanging on in the closing stages.

The boys review the main event and the rest of the Birmingham card, which delivered from top to bottom.

UFC 332 is a stinker. There, we said it. It's a fight night at the Apex at best. But thanks to our Patreon posse's contributions, all is not lost.

Ben Whittaker is starting to look like the real deal inside the ropes, living up to the huge potential he had after medalling at the Olympic Games. But, who has he actually beaten?

'The Surgeon' is ranked incredibly highly by every one of the tin pot organisations, despite the fact he's never beaten anybody ranked in the top 100 at light-heavy.

This weekend he gets the chance to put that straight against Irishman based Down Under Conor Wallace. Litmus test time.

We also discuss Denzel Bentley's decision to walk away from his world title after seemingly being abandoned by Queensberry.

Pat Brown captured British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles in just his 7th pro fight and in front of a busy home arena on Saturday, suggesting he could well be British boxing's next big star.

Meanwhile, world champion Hamzah Sheeraz threw his world title in the bin, but was because he was being matched with a drug cheat or due to the winning purse bid representing a pay cut in his career?

The boys try and find answers.
