the gear the Saudi people wear looks so comfortable, white in this heat must be ace, and it's baggy so you're not self conscious. I wish I could wear it without looking like I'm taking the pee

I wonder if this lack of crowd atmosphere affects the way the fight and makes them less likely to engage ?

I bet it doesn't help does it. It's a bit akin to the lockdown fights atmospherically.

17 fights.

I can’t remember who signed him first? It was a channel 5 promoter wasn’t it? Or was it David Haye?

Considering his background, he should have been pushed more.

Same here. I would much have preferred TNT.

Virgin only seemed to have the DAZN option in their PPV section.

If Hutchinson can keep this up it’s surely his fight. Woodhall is right to say Richards too one paced so far. Hutchinson snatching rounds too easily.
