what time main event mate

No idea.. Latvia is afew hours ahead.. i'm gonna have a look on twitter later.

It's 7pm in Riga now.. If the main event is gonna be around 10pm in Riga, then UK it will be around 8pm.

Don't take my word for it. Just estimates.

Burton next fight up

[Ruthless-RKO]

Did this guy just say Super Heavyweight title?

[skanksta]

Decent crowd including The Gypsy King.
Not a mask in sight - R1 10-9 Dr. Bolotniks - he landed a big punch as Burton backed up.

Did this guy just say Super Heavyweight title?

I think the announcer and commentator have just been asked to do it as a favour lol, best one so far from commentator was "He just hit him in the face"

[Old bones Ian]

Burton looking a bit nervy, but getting his jab to work, he's not going to get the close rounds his way.
Burton needs to be a bit more Authoritive with his punches

[Old bones Ian]

If this was in UK I'd say first two rounds to Burton, but in Latvia I'd say they will go to Bolotniks, close rounds hard to score

[skanksta]

19-19 ?
I think Burton's straighter punching and more textbook skills took the 2nd.
Burton is fighting scared tho'

[brilo33]

decent fight this

[Old bones Ian]

Bolotniks must be popular with the ladies with that tongue

[skanksta]

yeah good match of styles.

Who doesn't like a spindly stylist vs a raw hardman ?


29-28 Dr. Bolotniks.

[brilo33]

close rds these are i think burton took rd 4

[Old bones Ian]

close rds these are i think burton took rd 4

I'd say 4th was clear Bolotniks, it's that type of fight to score.

[handsofstone]

Why is Mr Gilbert commentating?

[Old bones Ian]

Bolotniks starting to take over a bit now, thought Burton looked a bit demoralized at the end of the 7th

[cutsman]

Burton in trouble there

[skanksta]

I went over to Joyce vs Baluta.

What you guys got ?

[mickey1975]

Tesco should have stopped that.

[Old bones Ian]

Burton given 2 standing eight counts in round 9, showed real grit in throwing back at the end of the round. Case to pull Burton out at end of 9th

[Old bones Ian]

Fair play to Burton, there's no quit in that lad, he had a decent 10th round after a shocker of a 9th.
Bolotniks should win a decision, it'll be wider than it should be I expect

[Old bones Ian]

Bolotniks wins wide decision
