Any chance you could share the stream?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Naoya Inoue is 131lbs apparently.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ken Shiro defended the WBA Light Flyweight title with a 2nd round stoppage over Ganigan Lopez.

Shiro landed a perfect right to the body that folded up Lopez to the canvas. He could not beat the ten-count.

Shiro is 13-0 with seven knockouts. Lopez is 34-8.

Did see lol. Thanks mate

[jamamb]

sounds like shiro did it in style then. thats how you do things the second time after a close first fight. what is with these japanese guys. they move so quickly. makes you wonder if so many build up fights are needed.

[tigermoth87]

Ok.... I've got a stream that's playing Kotelnik vs Khan.

Is Sky Action showing past fights just to kill time or something?

while we are watching this please spare a thought for the bravery of Dave Coldwell. His poor young lad Theo is under treatment for meningitis as we speak.

get well soon little Theo.

Just done exactly that. Think its an ask though.

[jamamb]

watching inoue clips and he is seriously fast and explosive. although its mainly with hooks and uppercuts, so hell need to get close.

Maybe because it's in the afternoon.. They use randomers.

[MightyWarrior]

Matt Christie excellent - but that intro showing how devasted she was by the death of Ingle and..( looks down at her notes ) Dean Francis

[tigermoth87]

Gonna go for McDonnell.

He raises his game for the big fights. Think he'll do the same again here.

[jamamb]

lol i still dont get it, jam mcdon looked fine in the press conference pics a few days ago but then now at the weigh in looks totally skeleton like and gaunt, does that really happen so quickly?

although tbf i havent yet seen him tonight, maybe hes gotten some fluid back

[MightyWarrior]

Surely McD is getting flattened here ..

[Ruthless-RKO]

We'll come back to this after it's done.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The challenger Naoya Inoue is a heavy favourites, available mostly at 1/5.

McDonnell is 5/1 to pull off the upset...

Get the draw at 33/1.
