Warren only signed Karol to get his brother

True ?

I mean he's got a decent pedigree - not like FWank wouldn't wanna sign him..?

Maybe. He looks very average tonight though. He gets caught clean a lot and doesn’t like it

[skanksta]

Yeah, looked poor.

Seems very solidly built, but maybe it's David Price style nerves - he seems easy to hit and bothered by it (off a non-puncher too).

[JamesPhilips]

That’s grinning hit the wall bird is annoying as sh1t

[NoScoutingReports]

No commentary? Straightforward win for Garner.

[skanksta]

yeah he looked good.

Oppo wasn't much obviously, but The Piranha got down to business and closed the show.

[KiwiRider]

Loving Carl on the comms, I'm able to understand his accent a bit better now and it's worth it. He has some nice insights.

[NoScoutingReports]

Is anyone else's audio fcuked? Can hear the background music in the arena fine but nothing from the pundits or promos etc, proper odd

[NoScoutingReports]

It's sorted after the ad break, never mind! Agree RE Frampton Kiwi, enjoy his analysis.

[NoScoutingReports]

Leaky defence on show from both fighters there in R1.

[KiwiRider]

Blimey that was all action!

[skanksta]

Hutch straight after him, 20-17 with a R2 KD.

Maderna dangerous on the counter...

Yeah, clipped Hutch a couple of times very cleanly over the top of his jab, decent counter for him early on.

[skanksta]

Excellent win for Hutch - he has natural power.

Just as the fight was settling down to go longer he did a strange wild haymaker like an axe-kick in MA - going up high to come down hard. Landed on the side of Maderna's head and he didn't know where he was for a good 40secs or so..
How far does he go @ LHW..?

[KiwiRider]

Nice fun fight.
Hutch needs to tighten everything up on attack. At the next level he is going to be very open to Counter-punchers.
Still - some fast and varied combinations, punch selection and a real desire to dish out a beat down. Nice

[NoScoutingReports]

Nice shot that. Have to say Hutchinson does get clipped quite a lot for a fighter who relies mainly on reflexes from a defensive standpoint, could be a problem against the higher level UK opponents out there at 175. That being said he has plenty of attributes which should see him in entertaining fights if he continues to box like that, decent speed and power but a strong counter puncher should have plenty of success against him.

[skanksta]

I think Hutch shoulda stayed SMW whatever the comms are saying.

[KiwiRider]

I think Hutch shoulda stayed SMW whatever the comms are saying.

He is 6.1 that's a tough ask

[NoScoutingReports]

Pretty tight fight this.

nah, eat right and live the life.
He's tiny compared to, say, Yarde.

[skanksta]

Pretty tight fight this.

It WAS !

Great finish.

[NoScoutingReports]

Pretty tight fight this.

Spoke too soon! Clinical finish from Zorro that. Some daft fcukers bouncing chairs about trying to scrap in the crowd

[JamesPhilips]

Kicking off. Predictably

[KiwiRider]

Wow!
What a peach of a shot. I thought going in that Burton had the height, reach and experience to make a fairly easy night of it.
Boy was I wrong..
