Mario Barrios & Regis Prograis are both on there, not against each other mind but two entertaining fighters nonetheless.

Diego Magdaleno, too. I think the guy he’s fighting is ok if he’s the one I think he is. Lots of Mexicans on the bill might be good scraps.

Now the last piece of the puzzle; how do I watch the Inoue fight in the UK?

Quality. I’ll record and watch Sunday morning without knowing the result.

Usyk v Chisora = 20 quid
Whyte v Povetkin = 20 quid

Davis-Santa Cruz, Loma-Lopez, Crawford-Brook, Dubois-Joyce and Garcia-Campbell = 22 quid

:lol:
