BTW.. The whole card id exclusive to ESPN+..

It won’t be on regular ESPN at all.

[Cutman Scabbers]

who's that little kid with the poorly fitting shirt next to masa?

This photo shows some telling signs:

1. Nakatani and Bob Arum are holding hands.

2. The eyes of the Knockout behind Nakatani are closed.

3. Both Knockouts are showing four fingers.

See any others?

[Dioufy]

Nakatani is rightfully a fan favourite but I expect Loma to outbox him and not run out of gas after 6/7 rounds like Verdejo did.
I’d love to see Nakatani do well but he’s quite limited, doesn’t use his natural advantages and doesn’t move his head.
Loma UD 119-109.

Rd 1 - 10-9 Ali

[ironbeard]

Rd 2 -

10-9 Ali
20-18 Ali

[skanksta]

yeah 20-18.

Not by much, but gotta be 2-0.

[skanksta]

It's not dominant in anyway, but it's easy to score.

30-27 Ali - he's winning each round by a bit.

[ironbeard]

Rd 3 - Brant just not doing enuf. Ali bigger, stronger, better so far.

10-9 Ali
30-27 Ali

[skanksta]

Agree.
It's 40-36, "will he stop him?" type of fight.

[ironbeard]

Rd 4 - Brant just posing while losing rounds.

10-9 Ali
40-36 Ali

[ironbeard]

Rd 5 - same thing different round.

10-9 Ali
50-45 Ali

[ironbeard]

Rd 6 - Kd Brant down ready to give it up. Brant has nothing for Ali.

10-8 Ali
60-53 Ali

No contest.

[skanksta]

6-0 and winning each round better than the last.

Brant giving his all just not to get KTFO.
A real beat-down.

[ironbeard]

Rd 7 - the most Brant has done is be smart enough to take a knee. That is it. Brant lands right. Brant trying to do something but he has not been able to pull the trigger on his right hand enuf. Ali has boxed very well.

10-9 Ali
70-62 Ali

[ironbeard]

Rd 8 - everything Brant has thrown has been half hearted. Ali landing bigger stuff now. Nothing coming back.

[ironbeard]

Brant needs to find another job.

[skanksta]

Looks good Ali - beating up Rob Brant easily without breaking sweat.
Not a thriler tho.

[skanksta]

What a fight Lubin vs Jeison is !

[gregregegg]

[ironbeard]

Rd 1 - naka jabs coming out. Loma left. Big left Loma. Decent right nak. Another left Loma. Head clash. Gash on Loma. Streaming blood.

10-9 Loma

[margaret thatcher]

[ironbeard]

Rd 2 - nakatani getting caught with lefts. Naka throws bod. Nakatani not attacking enough another left. Naka trying to box a top shelf boxer.

10-9 Loma
20-18 Loma
