Based solely on the ring walks, Chev's gonna eat him alive.

Zorro comfortably through the first round. Hopefully we can do away with the Opetaia references now.

19-19 ? :maybe:
Zorro not outclassed here at all.

1-1.

This crowd has had zero interest in the undercard.

Clarke looking a tad frustrated, like he was expecting to boss this from the off.

Zorro pretty much has Clarke sussed, but not landing cleanly enough. It’s going to be tough to keep this match this pace for another 7 rounds too.

First time I see Clarke, looks like he doesn't know anything about inside fighting so far, very disappointed.

The most exciting moment in this fight was when I realised I'd forgotten to eat my prawn crackers.

Get in.

4-2 Clarke, but it might be the wine.

He's walked through a lot of guys who he's been able to overpower but has had a lot his own way. I think some of the guys were intimidated before they got in the ring.

He's going to be one who gets beaten before he gets to a World title fight I think. A guy who can roll with his shots but who also has something extra will beat him.

As I type that he stands Zorro on his head.

Not obvious from the replay that he landed a huge shot. He has very big clubbing power I think but I've said since his debut he is very obviously roided.

That was good ! :box:
I think we were all thinking.."Zorro's ahead here - Clarke is completely frustrated, Zorro can win this...BooM ! :box:

Good stuff from Clarke - 9th fight still improving... :salut:

There was a point about 30 seconds before the finish where Zorro for the first time looked like he was fighting on instinct rather than his boxing brain.

8 rounds is all he can do with Clarke.

Finally, the stoppage comes.

Plenty to work on, but early days for the lad.

He also has quite a high voice.

He would fit in living in Sheffield I think.
