[Ruthless-RKO]

Familiarise urself.

The prelim is not in order so I don’t know who will go when.

The main card is what I believe is the Running Order.

Please don’t quote me on them if there is a change as there always can be.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Before the bell.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The undercard due to begin soon.

Waiting on DAZN/Matchroom.

[KiwiRider]

I've been watching the prelims on YouTube.
Nothing to write home about
Going to miss the main event as I have to go out. Will catch up with it later..

[NateJR]

I am just not that up for this fight. It's a great fight, great matchup, has some historical significance. Something about it doesnt excite me that much. I was much more up for the Stevenson/Valdez fight last weekend than I am for this one.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gonna have a nap and wake up in 3 hours.

[skanksta]

I just woke up in time to see Zhang.

[gregregegg]

Gunna be some bigg gaps between fights here... only a few undercard fights left and its early.

[Bandog]

I just hope judges score it fairly. Many folks are pissed and hateful of Russians because of the Ukraine deal. I'll leave it at that.

[gregregegg]

Mexican Musk looks good but not special.

[skanksta]

Lol he does look like Musk !
The skankstress has just walked in from her jungle night - she doesn’t normally watch DAZN with me…

[Bandog]

Props to Canelo for this tough challenge, win or lose. Not a big Canelo fan, but Bivol is not an easy opponent.

I pick Bivol by 12th round tko. (Save the laughs for later)

[skanksta]

True well said.
Lot to dislike about Canelo, but his choice of opponents isn’t one of those things.

fights are better when americans are involved arent they

[gregregegg]

Anyone hear got questions on how canelos stamina will hold up? looks a lot bigger now, will obviosly hold up if its an easy nights work, but what if it gets gritty. never seen someone pile on so much mucle at his age, in the drug testing era and hold onto there cardio...

[JxhDel.]

Giyasov 30 - 27, he has become whippier than before but Gomez has the snap too.

[skanksta]

Stamina should be fine.
He has an economical style and I’ve never seen Bicol set any kind of pace.

[skanksta]

KD !

Finish Him…..

[JxhDel.]

Giyasov 58 - 57, Gomez has taken the ring center though.

[skanksta]

Gomez shows great heart and fighting instincts.
I’m not scoring but fell G must be ahead plus a KD.
G reminds me a bit of Froch.

[skanksta]

Well well well, Gomez coming on strong and G looking gassed !

[JxhDel.]

87 - 82 Giyasov. The KDs are keeping it safe for Shakhram.

[skanksta]

G man rallies from a mini crisis.

Wonderboy ready for next level.

[JxhDel.]

Not a perfect win for Giyasov but you don't get three KDs out of luck, against a guy like Gomez.

About the rest, the usual by Zhang and Marc Castro.
