I had some errands to run this morning here in the States, but I ran 'em, and got home in time to get this PPV, and join in from here. I didn't wanna miss the Heavyweights.

Has there been anything on the card thus far that would be worth going back and revisiting that I may have missed?

5 Live are covering the show from 19:30 for anyone listening on the old wireless. I’ll probably not bother tuning in until the main event tbh.

Opener was an easy blow out, Ford fight has been okay but no real drama with 1 minute to go. Ford well ahead.

What even is Adeleye as a fighter. Can't see what he's good at. He's getting chinned here for me.

Good 1st round for Hrgovic. Adeleye held his own, and had his moments, but Hrgovic was busier, and just did more. So it's certainly his round.

1-0 Hrgovic

A well built guy always praying for the puncher's chance.

Huge cut opened up on Hrgovic in the 2nd round. Right over the eye. Not sure if it was a punch or a headbutt, but it could potentially be a fight ender.

EDIT: It was a punch.

Hrgovic stepping up the aggression big time in the 3rd round, and winning handily. Adeleye landed a solid shot at the bell, and Hrgovic had to a hold a minute, but other than that he controlled the round.

2-1 Hrgovic

Adeleye loves that Del Boy counter left hook from the crouch under pressure.

Hrgovic has a nasty cut. Don't know if I've seen him in a competitive fight without one

Another round for Hrgovic. It's not that he's beating up Adeleye exactly. He's just outworking him. Adeleye relies purely on a KO, and fights at a turtles pace. About 4 or 5 mighty swings a round.

Hrgovic has surely thrown twice as many punches as Adeleye, yet it's Adeleye that looks tired. Hrgovic's cutman did a great job. It hasn't gotten any worse for 4 rounds.

4-1 Hrgovic

Commentators a bit optimistic about how Adeleye is doing here. I’ve got Hrgovic winning every round despite the cut and Adeleye looks to be a lot more tired out of the two.
