Worse than Eubank Jr vs Quinlan?

Worse than Khan vs Prescott?

It’s not the best PPV - far from it. But it’s a long way from being the worst.

Kongo impressed in cameos and an excellent finish. I’d be intrigued to know what the scorecards were after 8 rounds. Clay knicked some rounds for me on workrate and body shots alone. Good to see Kongo close the show to remove any doubt. Weird comms again though from SKY. Far too pro Kongo as Clay was chucking leather.

Good finisher - Clay didn't 'just go' there.
I like how he got wild at first when he had him hurt, then regrouped and went back to the back foot. After that he picked another good counter then piled it on to find the perfect shot. Clay a tough man.
Yeah I liked it that he went for the finish in the 6th, realised it wasn't there and backed off.
Regrouped well as you say.

He should win @ least a European title if he progresses....

First decent win of his career and he's already Euro champ at minimum! Then just get him a vacant title fight vs a nobody and we already have a Euro and world champ :yay:

Yeah - good fight.

Kongo could go quite far I think and Clay could still have some meaningful fights.

Well he does have to improve steadily, but he should surely win a Euro Title - It's barely a step up from the UK scene.

Big beasts in US very different matter.

Except your site doesn't have the facility to give KT a 3 round lead @ the start of the fight ? :maybe:

Dave Allen commenting on Instagram about fighting babic: ''everybody wants to see it so why not I think it’s a great fight for us both''
After that performance from Babic id love to see it. but your not just going to buldose through allens chin, so Babic would have to be fit enough to go the distance. could be too much too soon for babic, who knows...

Always thought that...


Back on topic:

This isn’t a terrible card but it’s not yet a twenty quidder. Some of the best women’s fights ever are happening right now so we should enjoy

Yes. Worse than both

You’ll be in a big minority thinking that.

1-0 KT. Some decent counters early in the round. Persoon looks a lot bigger and stronger though.

Smith banging on about Taylor's skills and footwork in an opener that felt more like Persoon's to me.

KT boxing her ears off.
Delfine is the women's Margarito - shame she didn't get the nod last time, because she's gonna lose 100-90 unless she can land a bomb.
She's missing by miles.

Barry Hearn needs to put 50p in the meter.
