IS that 4 rounder before the main even a little kinda time wedge that will get cancelled if the night is running a bit late and happen if its running early?

Kate Abdo originally worked with Sky Sports UK, presented PBC events and now she works with DAZN.

I wonder if she’ll ever make the jump to ESPN/Top Rank.

She’s an excellent boxing host that is very multilingual.

Raymond Ford and Ammo Williams always bring fire and excitement but they both should make a serious jump in quality now.

Really bummed JCM had to drop this card. I hope he plans to stay really active next year.

That killed the whole card beside the ME for me. JCM is always a sight to see.

Love to watch that little guy. You think he’s got a future above 112?

This is poor from Frank sanchez. cant put away a very poor oponent who is basicaly a cruiser weight and has been knocked early twice befor. Then when he had him a bit rocked, stepped off cause fernandez was showing some bravado and calling him in.

[lazboy]

Very average fight but the ending was brutal.

[Grilling Machine]

I think Sanchez'd be a good rebuilding opponent for Dubois.

Ooh that does have intrigue.

[gregregegg]

Very very lucky that platform was there. is the area around the ring just concrete? Geeze it amazes me they dont at least throw some little thin gymnastic mats around it. scull to concrete would of been horrific in that situation.

Sanchez vs Bakole is a fun fight for me. Both guys that are a levle bellow the top, and noone realy begging to fight them. Actualy any fresh combo of Sanches, Kuzman, Hughie, and bakole matched up creates reasonable fights.

Callum Smith getting a massage? Has he not heard the story behind Hagler-hearns?

[JxhDel.]

Did they announce Chocolatito vs Estrada II? DARN!

Errol's chain blinded me

Fernandez was there to be hit but Sanchez belted him in spectacular fashion. It will be good to see him against serious guys.

Please enlighten me of this story!

Edit: Legit I’ve never heard it.

I'd favour Sanchez, similar outcome as in the Joyce fight seems likely to me, depends of how hard is Sanchez's chin. He has a good jab, that's a good weapon against Dubois.

E Steward, obviously The hit man’s trainer, believed a leg massage before the fight ruined Hearns’ legs. Lol. He went on about it.

[JxhDel.]

We will see better things by Castro in the future, I hope.

[squiggy]

for christ's sake, get to it

[lazboy]

Wtf Is Callum Smith doing. Looks like he’s getting in a workout rather than just warming up. Does he have to make weight or something?
