I work in the city centre and I’ve seen no hype on this card.

Yeah nothing going on tbh.
Anyone wanna guess what time Benn will be fighting?

Half 10?

lol van heerden looks terrified in the fight poster

lol van heerden looks terrified in the fight poster

He looks like he’s on some very questionable LSD for sure.

Did you see him at the face off? Weird.

[maverick23]

The Pattinson fight is off as his opponent is unwell. I’d imagine the Whittaker-Hart vs Ridings fight will be bumped up to 5.45. Quite interested to see Whittaker-Hart again.

[Glass Joe]

What happened to the CBS british title? vacant and was involved in the first match.

[Dioufy]

Good fight TWH v Ridings.
I had it 78-74.

[TheLeprechaun]

I only caught the last two rounds, Ridings in survival mode holding a lot and TWH with no inside game at all and just plodding after him with predictable shots. Anyone decent should be getting Ridings out of there.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Dioufy]

Great shot by Thompson.
It took Okolie 7 to get rid of him.
Dunno why Lyson let him get up to wave it off.
Hopefully he doesn’t wave off Fury if he gets chin Ed like that next week.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Main card is 7, any more fights before then you reckon?

I know one fight was cancelled.

[maverick23]

Jordan Thompson has some power. Needs a proper step up next rather than just having him blow away guys with limited ability like tonight’s opponent.

That’ll be it til 7 and Cullen I think.

[brilo33]

is cullen winning looks good in rd 7

[brilo33]

looked good cullen looks like he has really grown in his body aswell. he is a good frame boxer, using the jab

[Dioufy]

is cullen winning looks good in rd 7

I give Big Bad Vlad 2 of the middle rounds and Cullen everything else.
Needs to keep that chin down, jab more and be more careful of left hooks but overall a good comeback.
Lerrone Richards next and see what he’s got?

[jameswilson]

All about Lil Lever’s meat cleaver.
