Canadian heavyweight Arthur Pelkey, pictured on the left, was a "White Hope" of the 1910s. Contemporary newspapers sometimes remarked on his physical resemblance to former World HW Champion Jim Jeffries (pictured right).

Interesting fight I'm looking forward to Saturday, @deanoboxing vs William Warburton. Deano is 6-0 (5KOs) and looks a great talent. Warburton coming off a 6th round win over Aaron Morgan. All know what Warburton can do when he turns it on - good test for Richardson.

Loma breaks opponents down mentally and physically. Always "on" them, fast, varied punches, changes of direction. Even top-class fighters start doubtng themselves. You could almost hear Linares thinking: "Damn! How come I'm getting hit so often?"

Vasyl Lomachenko gets off canvas, stops Jorge Linares in 10

Jorge Linares wasn’t bowled over, but he got stopped all the same by Vasyl Lomcahenko.

Phenomenal. Not just by Lomachenko, by Linares too. Gave him problems we haven't seen, not even the Salido fight. Brilliant stuff. Momentum shifts, thoughtful yet relentless.
