[Ruthless-RKO]

Above is the running order.

Times for ALL Fights above as well.

[Kilburn]

Thanks Ruthless. 03:50 alarm it is.

The undercard is gash.

[MasterG]

I'm undecided wether to get up. I feel I have to though

[Ruthless-RKO]

Thanks Ruthless. 03:50 alarm it is.

The undercard is gash.

That’s from the ring.. set it a bit earlier if you need to

[Ruthless-RKO]

Prelims
On now

[Kilburn]

I hardly ever watch these US fights live these days (apart from AJ vs Jake Paul, bizarrely) but from the minute they announced Garcia vs Benn I’ve always known I’d be waking up to watch this one.

As much as I rooted against Benn for the Eubank Jr fights, I really hope he can do something, anything, in this fight tonight.

[keithmoonhangover]

I'm undecided wether to get up. I feel I have to though

I'm not setting the alarm and happy to watch it in the morning, but my body clock will cock-a-doodle-doo just before the ring walks.

I'm not setting the alarm and happy to watch it in the morning, but my body clock will cock-a-doodle-doo just before the ring walks.

That’s actually what happened with me for Joshua v Paul. I naturally woke up at 3 something and thought bloody hell I’ll have to watch it now.

[aidenp25]

Thanks Ruthless. 03:50 alarm it is.

The undercard is gash.

That’s from the ring.. set it a bit earlier if you need to

Vegas fights are never ever before 8 (there time) 4am uk time

[Ruthless-RKO]

Garcia wins

Majority decision

56-56
58-54
58-54

[Ruthless-RKO]

Can’t believe Ramirez vs Rocha is next.

No time wasting.
Let’s do it.

This would easily be a Golden Boy Main event in 2026.

Madnes.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ramirez is underdog

[NazNaci1]

Would stay up but 4am is just too late.

Will catch it tomorrow.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ramirez was underdog here.

Winning these rounds.

He doesn’t stop throwing. Activity is key for him

[Boxerbeetle]

I’m not staying up, will just catch it in the morning. Hope it’s a good fight for anyone staying / waking up for it

[rd350lc]

Thanks Ruthless. 03:50 alarm it is.

The undercard is gash.

Isn't Opetia on it?

[rd350lc]

Something sounds out with the timings, going to stay up now then.

[KiwiRider]

I’m not staying up, will just catch it in the morning. Hope it’s a good fight for anyone staying / waking up for it

It's in the early afternoon Sunday here BB, one could easily argue beer o'clock

[Ruthless-RKO]

Thanks Ruthless. 03:50 alarm it is.

Isn't Opetia on it?

Yup.

Times are fine.

On the running order it’s NY time. Which is ahead of Vegas time.

[Delta Jay]

Morning lads, think I will stay up for this now.

Not a fan of the white/black trunks thing at all.

Had a bet on Garcia in first 6.

What you all saying?

[Cyclops]

Looking forward to this

There are too many weird variables in this fight to make a proper prediction. The sensible bet is Ryan Garcia by stoppage.

I'm going Conor Benn by late, probably controversial, stoppage, while behind on points.

[Frostieballs]

I’ve backed Garcia stoppage, 7-12.

Benn to be badly worked over, but too brave for his own good.

[Delta Jay]

I’ve backed Garcia stoppage, 7-12.

Benn to be badly worked over, but too brave for his own good.

If Benn gets dropped in the 6th but makes it to the end I will be cursing your name, then.

Anyone who knows their shit seems to be picking Garcia by stoppage at some point.


What do we think of the weight gain thing? Pure click-bait if you ask me, he’s got his pockets full of sand in that vid
