That would be an ideal time to settle down with a cold beer to watch a big fight.
I'm going to make the effort for this one.

Gravy just looked a bit told 're fifteen twenty-five seconds in the microwave.

Compare that chief support to Johnny Fisher….

Keen for this to kick off. Hopefully there won't be too much messing around to get through before they get it on!

About ten minutes to go!
Josh says he will be really hatting him. I'm sure Teo prefers a sombrero to a cheesecutter

Just hope the hats aren't too heavy on their heads. Wouldn't want any Wilder-like excuses afterwards.

Can’t stand Taylor - as unlikely as it may be, I would love Lopez to land a haymaker on his chin

Before the Catterall debacle - big fan.
After the Catterall debacle - smash him Teo!!

I too lost a lot of respect for Taylor for the way he handled his 'loss' against Catterall.

Sometimes you just wished there was a fast forward button.

Both in the ring. Taylor looks like he's already done 6 rounds in the change rooms.

Good start , Taylor landing well to the body

48-47 Lopez

4-1 Lopez so far. Lopez looking Sharp and Taylor can't figure out the speed
