Jon Pegg must be the most multi-skilled man in boxing, currently cuts man for Woodall's corner. What a gent.

Richards is one for the purists but he's not for the everyman viewer bless him.

6th round stoppage loss for Richards, difficult to see where he goes from here sadly especially in light of his fighting style. Good win for Woodall, sad possible end for Richards.

The African is teak tough

Wow much better than I was expecting, mac probably get stopped this 10th round

Brutal stuff!

Macgowan has tremendous heart

Definitely but that’s took years off his life , should have been stopped by Joe I feel

McGowan probably needs to go to hospital after that.

Baraou poibnts win, such accurate punching, Mcgowan was so brave and throwing to the end, busted eye and nose and covered in blood. His stock rose in defeat. I personally would have liked Gallagher or a compassionate ref to pull this a few rounds ago though, that was a lot of damage incurred. Well done to both. Waiting on decision but that was clear cut.

Sadly possibly

UD PTS WIN BARAOU

As ever with me, but does anyone know what the purses would have been for this.

Victory by 6, 9 and 8 on the judges scorecards.

Dan Toward vs Ali El Said up next.

Toward 2nd round stoppage, excellent timing of distance and the shot. He is a class prospect.

Is it me or does Toward look like he’s about to burst into tears any second lol

he does look tearful bless him.

How good is Baraou?

Could he mix it at world level?

He's looked really good the two times i have seen him but his opponents have been limited and a bit tailor made. Lovely use of angles and shot selection.

Like to see him v kelly, but think kellys just looking for a title shot. Went inactive since Williamson, 2 fights in 18 months and nothing booked. Lost all momentum.

118-110 Baraou, incredible bravery from McGowan as always but he took a trimming in there, only his heart kept him in it, he never stopped throwing, he was battered and bloodied, Baraou hurt him a couple of times, especially with the uppercut in the 9th but he still kept coming, Baraou a level above though, volume and accuracy, matched McGowan for workrate and fought McGowan at his own game, fought mostly at close quarters Baraou whipped in hooks and uppercuts up close and took everything McGowan threw, a class apart

No sympathy for Lerrone Richards, he had the world at his feet, British, Commonwealth and European champ then pissed about ducked fights and constantly stunk the joint out , full credit to Woodhall

what do people think Woodhall's level is? And what next - shot vs winner of Chelli-Simpson?

As I said before the fight it was poor stuff from the promoters/board allowing McGowan into the headliner.
He's a great little warrior but was way overmatched and took an unnecessary beating.

Not acceptable IMO.

Don’t know where lerone goes from here, will he be confident in his chin!if he continues, Woodall should get big fights I remember him winning loads of titles in the ams then disappeared but looks a good lad
