Thought it was just after midnight?

Card starts either midnight or 1am..

main event will be after 4am.

[Bleak]

Any radio coverage? Do the Americans cover it on there radio stations?

[ShadrachSimmo]

Eubanks vs Canelo would be a decent fight. This guy won’t last 5 rounds unless he’s carried..

[Glass Joe]

Will set my alarm and try and time it for the ringwalks, watch the coverage for 20 minutes then go back to bed.

[Cyclops]

It was a cracking KO, too.

[bigjack]

It was a cracking KO, too.

It was a very good ko

[emallini]

Canelo Eubank would be a great watch. Canelo would counter him to death but Eubank would give it a go and let his hands go.

[Glass Joe]

problem is Eubank doesnt want to fight at that level and rather not fight

[ShadrachSimmo]

He prob doesn’t but the sheckels would set him up for life. Anyone takes that fight if only for that reason.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Is there any chance the Eubank ko was a freak and Yildrim goes the distance or lasts late?

It’s not impossible but he went md with lolenga mock few years back who fought Haye nearly 20 years ago. It’s crazy form, I know Mock was a hard pudendum but oh dear...

Lol true. I'm just desperate for value after the Parker Fa fiasco lol. Canelo never really takes risks though against yildrim he may actually go for a ko

I feel the same. The value could be over 6 rounds. Alvarez fights usually go long. Skybet are doing 7-12 4/1 which is worth a pound of any hard won inheritance.

He can't fight at that level

Gotta be Zhang pts - he was a mile ahead after 5.

[milpool]

I think Eddie can forget about Zhang v AJ in the bird’s nest now!

[Glass Joe]

eddeh still the closest to the camera, not canelo, it's the eddeh hearn show! they're all there to watch you baby! time to release another book

[MightyWarrior]

Well that was one of the worst performances in a big time fight we’ve seen in awhile. The Turks much vaunted trainer got a bit carried away with himself there, saving his man before he even got involved in the fight, after god knows how long preparing...bizarre

[Counter-puncher]

eddeh still the closest to the camera, not canelo, it's the eddeh hearn show! they're all there to watch you baby! time to release another book

He’ll never be backward in coming forward our Eddeh

[Coco]

Will Hearn need to spend 10 days in a quarantine hospital on his return to Britain?

[handsofstone]

No surprises here, I suppose I'd hoped Yildirim would leave his balls out to dry but he suffered with the type of stage fright British fighters tend to have when thrown in deep, Canelo TBF was flawless, surgeon like precision, hard accurate punches, the jab , straight right and lefts to the body, just pure quality, textbook 1/2 for the knockdown, i didn't think Yildirim looked like he wanted out for round 4 when in the corner, the inevitable mismatch

It pisses me right off that Canelo is a juicer because he's fvcking brilliant
