and mine, I was back in 1992. Epic song tho

[Coco]

Sains in against an under sized, over matched east euro sort.

Typical debut gimme fight.

Sort of fight he should win first round but he has failed to land much decent.

Guessing Sains sells a lot of tickets, should have been on the free show.

[SeanBrennan]

RSF Sains TKO
Not surprising

[Coco]

And a British stoppage

[Coco]

The ref jumped in as the Pole was landing a shot

[Coco]

The Spanish DAZN compared him to Johnny Fisher

[skanksta]

Duff stoppage but I don't care - was more like bullying than a boxing match.

Sains looks a good prospect - kinda like Frank Buglioni and I'd guess a similar type of career.
None too shabby.

DAZN has got all of the women's UEFA champions league games, I'm glad I subscribed

[skanksta]

I have to say...

The DAZN trailer for Joe Cordina's Monaco defence was... brilliant !
Movie quality.

Not sure art-house-cinema whimsy is the best way to sell a fight, but it makes a change from two guys 'taking a dump' !
Worth a watch...

Vasil Ducar is about as "must watch" guy as a gatekeeping loser can be.
Should be good..

This should see what Chev is made of, decent fight for me

[Coco]

Good fight

[Coco]

Chev is a quality operator, he is a step ahead in this fight but it's quite competitive, the opponent is well in the fight.

[skanksta]

Chev looks a bit special to me.
Not like can't miss HOF, but he's making Ducar look easy in a way that CBS and Thompson couldn't.

50-45 and enjoying himself.

[jameswilson]

I have had a soft spot for Ducar since the CBS fight. I had money on him to beat Thompson.

He is a genuine hard nut at Cruiserweight.

He was so close to beating Thompson.

[jwfg]

Thompson's in for a shock tonight. I think he's taking a beating, with the ref having a lot to do before Jai lays him out.

[Kilburn]

I can see why some aren’t ready to put Opetaia on a pedestal just yet despite his win over Breidis, he doesn’t appear unbeatable.

Either way I think this main event will be a decent spectacle.

[Delta Jay]

Wasn’t gonna post tonight, but Breidis is trying the “make noise no matter how bad a dickhead you look, all engagement is good engagement” thing and he’s so shit at it.

I guess there is an art to being an attention seeking div. He’s a brilliant boxer as well, Usyk’s hardest fight.

He got his eybone snapped didn’t he? Or his jaw? He’s great, big hard solid southpaw good fundamentals. Hard work for anyone. But a hard sell outside of his country.

[CaptainSpacerod]

How long til the main event starts ?

I was thinking the reverse...

WTF has JT done to even deserve the shot, let along beat Jai.
But then they showed us he's son of Geoff Thompson - that certainly evens it up a bit !
