Frank and BT have messed this format.

BT can go live at 8pm. But what about other prospects on the card? BT own 50% of BNation. Put it on there.. or even FB or Youtube. .

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 1
4 x 3 min round Middleweight
Alfie Price W pts 40-36 Michael Issac Carrero

Former outstanding amateur star Alfie Price proved too much for the convincingly outgunned Nicaraguan who, although brave and resolute, simply had no answers to the variety of attack employed by the 25-year-old southpaw in his fifth professional fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 2
6 x 3 min round Super Middleweight
Umar Sadiq W rtd 3 min R2 Chris Dutton

The lean, long and rangy Umar Sadiq continued on the comeback trail after his sole setback against Zak Chelli in October and, right from the first bell, looked to have far too much in his armoury for Sheffield’s Chris Dutton. The 35-year-old was dispatched to the canvas on three occasions in the second round and referee Bob Williams rightly called off proceedings at the end of the round when Dutton was retired by his corner.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 3
6 x 3 min round Middleweight
Caoimhin Agyarko W RSF 1.20 R3 Martin Kabrihl

The 22-year-old from Belfast known as Black Thunder entered the fight with brutal intentions and it took remarkable staying power from his Czech opponent to withstand ripping hooks to the jaw and body. Agyarko’s power was literally head-turning but somehow Kabrihl managed to stay on his feet. He stubbornly avoided being directed south but a further onslaught from Agyarko saw referee Chaz Coakley intervene and call off the fight 1 min 20 secs into the third round.

Fight 4
4 x 3 International Lightweight
Mohammad Bilal Ali W pts 40-36 Antonio Horvatic

Bilal Ali, in just his second fight as a professional, displayed some enterprising footwork and cunning combinations as he got into business against regular import Horvatic from Croatia. The Beckton 22-year-old – who trains alongside Anthony Yarde – winged in hooks to head and body and stalked his experienced opponent before engaging up close. Horvatic was relatively unfazed by the ferocity of attack and, as you would expect from someone stopped just 14 times out of 56 defeats on the road, he wasn’t going to budge easily and the latest protege of Tunde Ajayi had to settle for four valuable rounds in the bank, despite rocking the 32-year-old on several occasions in the final round.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 5
6 x 3 min International super welterweight
Hamza Sheeraz W KO 1.05 R2 Ladislav Nemeth

The Ilford 19-year-old, coming off a first round stoppage of Rod Douglas last time out, was clearly prepared to show a more patient approach against his Slovakian assignment and used his long reach to poke out his jab to good effect in the first round. His patience must have worn thin in the second round when a thunderbolt left to the body sent Nemeth reeling to the canvas and it was game over, with referee Bob Williams barely taking up a count. Now 8-0 for Sheerez.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 6
4 x 3 min Super Bantamweight
Chris Bourke W KO 2.36 R2 Stefan Slavchev

The busy Bourke buzzed around his fairly unambitious opponent in Slavchev from Bulgaria without putting much a dent in the 26-year-old in the first round. This changed towards the end of the second when a right to the body poleaxed Slavchev to make it three stoppages in a row for former Team GB member Bourke.

Fight 7
8 x 3 min International Super Featherweight
Archie Sharp W TKO 2.02 R2 v Sergio Gonzalez

Showing no ill-effects from an injury-enforced lay-off since October when he recorded his best win over Lyon Woodstock, Archie Sharp quickly got to work against the Spanish-based Nicaraguan, finding his range with stinging jabs, with the occasional backhand hitting the spot. Gonzalez didn’t let Sharp have it all his own way, but his ambition was met with hurtful ripostes and Gozalez was sent to the canvas three times in round two, with the third the signal for referee Chaz Coakley to call time on the contest

Why is the coverage starting so late for this one?

Why is the coverage starting so late for this one?

Because Franklyn is an idiot! At least Sky start their coverage at 7pm and have Facebook from 6pm.

When Frank first got in bed with BT, they had B.Nation show undercard footage from 6pm ish all the way til the end and BT used to start their coverage between 7-8pm.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 8
4 x 3 International Middleweight
Shakiel Thompson W RSF 1.01 R1 Nelson Altimirano

Southpaw Thompson was easing himself into gear against the smaller Altimirano and not going gung-ho by any means. After just one minute, Altimirano was rocked backwards and referee Chaz Coakley stepped in and called off the fight to a chorus of disapproval from the fans in the Arena.

Yeah I recall that BN used to show the cards also, but from an earlier time. I guess Facebook / YouTube streams are more production costs, and since it's not a PPV to try and sell to viewers, they don't think it's worth the cost / effort. Poor form really.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight 9
6 x 3 min International Middleweight
Denzel Bentley v Pavel Garaj

The banger from Battersea was quickly on the offensive in the first round, unleashing a hail of hefty blows to the head and middle of his Slovakian opponent, who took Bentley’s domestic middleweight rival Linus Udofia the six round distance in December.

Bentley continued to penetrate a high guard in the second, while remaining vigilant for random hay-makers dispatched in desperation by the 32-year-old with six wins on his record and only one of his defeats coming by stoppage.The rearguard action from Garaj carried on in the third as Bentley switched between head and body with hurtful intent. Bentley ended the round with a big right hand, but Garaj appeared unperturbed at this point. The 24-year-old Bentley lowered the intensity in the fourth, while occasionally cranking up his output, perhaps realising he needed to be more wily against such a stubborn operator.

Chelli is seduced by his power.
He's just swinging for a highlight reel KO. Loading up too much. Predictable and giving Smith a chance he shouldnae really have.

The vacant Southern Area Super Middleweight championship
10 x 3 min
Zak Chelli W pts 100-89 Jimmy Smith

The explosive Chelli began in typically combustible fashion, raining in shots with the aim of scoring an early KO, but his landing ratio was not high and he embarked on the second round in a much tidier and compact stance, working off his jab before, again, being tempting into swinging for success. Smith, with a strong amateur pedigree behind him and 7-1 as a pro going into the fight was never going to be a willing fall guy and started to have success of his own in the middle of the second round. The work of both got a bit ragged in the third as Chelli carried on in his hunt for a big finish, while Smith shook his head to discourage him from believing he had enjoyed any success.

Smith landed some telling shots in the fourth but the volume of work generally favoured Chelli. The fifth followed a similar pattern and the halfway stage was reached. Smith enjoyed success with a clubbing right hand that had Chelli hanging on before the bell sounded to end the sixth and a traditionally robust Southern Area scrap was unfolding.

Chelli responded was a barrage of punches in the seventh, continuing to be the aggressor. Two vicious lefts to the body saw Smith’s resistance lessen in eighth and he took a count of eight before doing well to see out the round.

Chelli was bossing the fight as the final decision loomed and it could only go his way in his seventh fight.

Apparently Dubois has "some African steak to devour".
