Live Undercard from 5:10pm

[Ruthless-RKO]

Not watching women’s fight.

[peter barlow]

Not watching women’s fight.

Dunno how they squashed three on. I may just stick with Hennessy tonight and try catch Galahad depending on ringwalk. Might just re-sub DAZN next Friday.

[KiwiRider]

Flint and Hunt to see a couple of up and coming guys, well after tonight one will be, and the other will be regrouping.
And all but the main event might be fun. I dunno, I just think Galahad is too big and too strong. Plus I like Kiko, I'm not that keen to see him get a hiding.

[skanksta]

Who can resist Kiko R1 @ 250/1 ?
He's a fast starter and he's done it before. Feels like his best chance of winning is catching Kid cold with an early KO.

[Coco]

Standard of the 2 women's fights were terrible.

Ayub looks to be a talented kid.

Criminal really that a lot of talented kids get overlooked for women when their standard is dire.

Totally agree, total farce but it will never be questioned.

[Coco]

Cawley lookeda bit of quality, feather fisted though, was putting a lot into his shots and caught his man all night long without putting a dent in him.

You question it every time it's on. So do others ?

He is clearly alluding to the people that matter, not boxrec posters!

I hated the fight initially for Galahad but the closer it’s got the more I’ve thought it could be a good fight. Has Martinez ever been in a bad fight? I know he was well beaten by Russell but it wasn’t long before that he pushed Warrington close. Don’t get me wrong I still don’t think it’ll be a competitive fight and I think Kid wins but I think it could be quite tasty whilst it lasts.

It IS still mostly shite tbf, but it's getting better.

Harper vs Baumgardner should be ok.

I’ve said several times before I don’t mind women’s boxing at a good level.

I’m fine with the Harper fight tonight being on the main card and will happily watch.

I don’t like women’s boxing at a low level as there’s still little depth. No need for 2 women’s fights on the prelims when there’s already a women’s fight on the main card. I get Levy has personality but they’re overdoing it.

I know they gave Levy every round as she was busier but she was hitting fresh air all night long and was eating a number of straight shots

[KiwiRider]

Here we go, this should be good.

[KiwiRider]

Hunt found range with his straight left. It looks powerful but he hasn't had the stoppages. Didn't let Flint get settled at all.
1-0 Hunt

Yes I mean, the promoters/broadcasters are never challenged on this in their daily interviews. The quality and figures don't add up.

Now we have a cretin like Claressa Shields taking a million quid out of Sky budget undeservedly when she wouldn't sell a ticket in her front garden. At some point the penny will drop.

[skanksta]

Hunt beating Flint up so far - 20-18 DH.

[skanksta]

Flint getting in to it and landing a few, but it's 30-27 Hunt.

[KiwiRider]

I feel Flint is still thereabouts, but Hunt is bossing him.
So much body on Hunt to be attacked, Flint missing an opportunity to slow the faster guy.
3-0 Hunt

[KiwiRider]

I want to give that one to Flint, so close. Its just a bit more work from Hunt.
4-0 Hunt.

[skanksta]

Much closer 4th, but Hunt always seems to land more and harder.
40-36 Hunt.

[KiwiRider]

Flint you gutsy bugger. Front foot is where he is best. Good action round, if Hunt slows at all, Flint can turn the tide here.
4-1 Hunt

[skanksta]

Flint started really well, but Hunt came back strongly. Could give that either way, but
5-0. Hunt "wants it more"
