I get why they ducked Smith, unfortunately it's how boxing is, no risky fights unless the money is there.

Let's see if both fight in the future for world titles, they are both gonna take different routes unless Turki puts them together.

Both big talents

OD has grown on me over the years. Seems a genuine nice bloke. Definitely the right time for retirement though.

But Davies was awful.

Truly terrible. How he had a career in boxing is astonishing. Extremely poor in many areas. Making mistakes all over the place. Can't even throw punches properly. He's just not athletic at all and you saw a huge athleticism gap there but credit to him for hunkering down and having a career in the first place. It's the right time to get out though because he will only take more beatings.

How much money do you think Davies made? Must be a couple of mill no? Hopefully he’s paid for a house

Edmondson isn't landing anything of note so far, trying to wrestle too much. Azeez 3-0.

I'm 2-1-1 to Dan. More eye-catching "Super Mario" flying jabs.

39-38 SDA.

Bit of a snoozer this so far. Aziz is more aggressive but not landing much, Edmondson is mostly fainting and holding

The only good thing about this fight is that I've bet on over 10.5 rounds. Every time they hold, I smile.
