Great fight to kick things off

It was a close, brutal fight.
The sort The Skankstress can't watch, "I'm not watching it if they're all bleeding - you know I can't stand blood, blah blah.."

97-92 x2 and 97-93 ?!

Andre knocked down in 2

Yeah - I think it shoulda been closer - I thought 6-4 Sterling - minus a knockdown..,
was expecting it to be razor-thin or draw.

Selby starting a 12 rounder now - so in an hour...

Just watched the itv face off DeGale sounds like he's struggling to put his words together lol

I thought he was a bit stammery too. He's never been a great talker, I hope the hard fights haven't taken a toll
