Here you go guys.

So you don't miss any of the fights.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I do think they should have knocked Stevenson down the card a little following the opponent change.

[MightyWarrior]

Thanks Ruth, what a line up. You’d think they’d put the Shakur fight on earlier, as it’s a mismatch right? But someone likes Shakur a lot I guess - I do as well, but I don’t exactly like watching him for 12 endless one sided rounds, but I agree with whoever said he might just get the stoppage tonight. If he’s got any sense he’ll go for it.

Probably he agreed to the change of opponent, but stipulated he keeps prime location on the running order

This is the bill you could compare it to..might have been even better. In fact it was, in terms of talent…the legendary Ricardo Lopez right down the bill

[Kilburn]

Well at least immediately following Stevenson, we have Parker v Bakole - whatever on earth that ends up being.

[Boxerbeetle]

I've gone for the DAZN PPV, it's easiest to setup
and then immediately cancel the regular sub afterwards. Wondering if Smith will be a decent commentator now he's not conflicted by being a Sky cheerleader. Prepared to give him a chance.

It's guaranteed to either to be the best or worst fight on the card

I'm wavering now whether to buy this or not, could be quite a gap between fights if any early endings. I prefer just line them up at a certain time and if they end early get the next fight to the ring

[Kilburn]

I think I’ll go with the TNT show. Usually go with Sky Sports but it’s a little too.. well.. Sky Sports.

It's a bloody great day of sport, got the football on atm, rugby straight after, then boxing straight after that. Doritos with hot salsa dip, dry roasted peanuts and a big bag of popcorn for later. The perfect Saturday. Only missing booze, but trying not to drink at home this year so will make do with lemonade.

The wife and kids are here too somewhere, I think

[Ruthless-RKO]

Prelims now saying they begin at 5:30??

[Ruthless-RKO]

Here we go.

[golden_labrador]

I've only seen the last three rounds but is Oliveira taking it easy with the Saudi guy?

I thought that.

I think our esteemed posters will be using words like "levels" to describe the fight afterwards.

a pet hate of mine.

[skanksta]

Engel Gomez in good form - 2 draws amongst his last 42 fights.

he's out for blood! clearly not read the script

[revporl]

Bloody hell, I didn't realise that Joe Gallagher is still working given his diagnosis. What a man. Just him being there is really moving. All the best to him.

[keithmoonhangover]

If Padley wins, biggest upset in boxing history?

[skanksta]

Yup.
Gets a lot of stick on here for somr reason ( ), but great stuff and good corner work just then
Mighty Mo seemed to really listen to him too.
