yeah, your card isn't going to be at all subjective then is it?

I'll score the fight on here subjectively for sure in the rbr thread as I did for Catterall Taylor. I didn't think Conlan was impressive in the Doheny or Baluta fights. Not sure he even won them if the judging was fair and balanced.

I thought he won clearly enough Vs Doheny, struggling to remember much about the fight though.

There wasn't much in it. Very biased commentary. Wood has very legitimate power which I think could get a knockdown or two or maybe even a stoppage. I don't think this is a good style matchup for Conlan at all. Wood might just be better than him in every department. Woods power is definitely going to have an impact if he lands clean. If boxing wasn't so corrupt I might have a big bet on Wood.

Looking forward to this. My youngest brother is flying over to watch it

There is no way you can honestly think Wood is better in every department. He is more powerful than Conlan but wouldn't say he is powerful enough to win with just that.

We saw it with Catterall and Taylor and it's an identical set up here. I reckon most of us will have it for Wood if it goes the distance.

I don’t really get this, Wood’s got home advantage & is the Dazn fighter. All the talk has been of Conlan having to worry about the judges

We’ll see.

Judges will be under pressure.

The Taylor-Catterall disaster is still very much talked about and fresh in peoples minds.

There will be eyes on this one for sure.

I'm quite lookin forward to this, mostly the main event.
There has been a question mark over Conlan as a pro, for me at least.
Great amateur, no doubt.
Yet to prove as a world level pro.
And I'm still picking Wood...

Conlan can make more money with the Irish angle in America and selling out Belfast.

People connected to this fight were involved in the Mimoune McKenna fight. They are capable of anything.

I’m looking forward to this. A really solid 50/50. I can see it going a couple of ways. Either it’s a very even fight or Conlan is completely able to outbox Wood. Both look in great shape and are up for it.

A couple of decent fights on the undercard but I’m not keen at all on having 2 female 10 rounders on the main card. Agyarko is one of my favourite prospects (since seeing the way he beat Jez Smith) but I don’t know much about his opponent. I like the Cully/Vasquez fight too.

Yes, that is a huge concern for a fight I believe will go the distance

I’m English and want Wood to lose his genuine, bona-fide WBA belt tonight.

Wood should be legit WBA champ, Santa Cruz getting away with murder with the title, Wood seems a sound lad but it's the Ben Davison effect, people want Wood starched

This should be for the proper title and LSC should’ve been stripped but it hasn’t happened and so therefore that WBA belt is made out of Pringles.
I don’t know Wood personally but I was turned off by his reactions on social media when people were rightly so reminding him that LSC was the champion.
And you’re right, the Davidson angle doesn’t help.

I remember the back in the days of WeBL and you always slagged off English heavyweights saying David Tua would knock every single one of them out in five seconds.

Don’t remember that and don’t even know what WEBL is. I’m early 30s so I’ve been on his nearly 20 years so no doubt I’ve talked some shite… and still do.

Delusion. That belt is worthless. Xu Can was terrible; don’t even get the hype… even before that fight.
This fight should be for the proper, vacant WBA championship. It’s a shame it isn’t and yes, big Leo taking the piss.

DG is a legend.

I think I am confusing you for someone else if you don't know what WeBL is. Apologies.

No worries. I have indeed typed some shite in my past here.

CAN Xu.

He turned out to be a CAN.

you bumped a 2 year old thread to insult someone and couldn't even spell a four letter word properly.
