Abass Baraou vs. Sam Eggington | CH5 - 1 March 2024

[SeanBrennan]

mainly as I've just seen Boxrec updated the result!

[TheLeprechaun]

Team Eggington all day every day, still baffles me how he became a British, Commonwealth and European champion plus wins over Malignaggi and Gavin, fantastic career, hopefully he can pick up a second European title, in saying that if Baraou is a boxer/mover it could be a tough night for Sam

I watch that Gavin fight back sometimes. Gavin getting tagged while trying to be a defensive wizard. I still think Gavin would have had a good career if he had the dedication to stay at 135.

yeah he definitely lacked the dedication part, started his pro career badly off the back of missing weight for Olympics

[SeanBrennan]

good rounds for Powar but nothing of note here, another 6 rounds of experience this one.

[SeanBrennan]

Kaisee Benjamin up next, 17 - 3 -1, former Dalton Smith foe, vs Berman Sanchez 30 - 51 - 4. Only stopped 7 times. Super welterweight fight. Sanchez has fought Linares and been a pro 22 yrs!!!

[SeanBrennan]

good first round for Kaisee, the opponent is very much live and throwing though.

[SeanBrennan]

Welterweight debut for Nick Leahy next vs Jake Osgood.
Osgood 1 and 40.

[SeanBrennan]

Osgood's one win was against a debutant in 2022. I remmber him fighting Joe Hayden, Joe pts win. Only 4 stoppage losses for Osgood

Just into last round for Kaisee's fight.

[SeanBrennan]

Osgood standing between rounds, fit fella

[SeanBrennan]

this is the last fight on the Wasserman stream, Tom Welland the ifrst fight on the channel 5 stream at 10pm.

[SeanBrennan]

Tom is 2 and 0 and will be fighting Esteban Troestch, who is 1, 2 and 1. Featherweight fight.

[SeanBrennan]

Leahy pts win.

Harry Scarffe was good on co-comms.

let's see what Fury has helped him with. Hope it has worked, he comes across really well in interviews and speaking like a man from a position of progress.

[margaret thatcher]

harris decently quick hands for a shw, just seems a bit lackadaisical and messy in there at times
