Thompson dispatched of Benitez in 4 rounds, Benitez typical Argentine journeyman, wild, erratic, weak and tough at the same time, kept looking like he was looking for a way out but stuck around a bit, Thompson hit him with an uppercut to the balls in round 2, Benitez taking the near full 5 minutes then he was moaning about a punch to the back of the head, Thompson put him down legit in round 3 with a lovely straight left to the body, Benitez did get up but round 4 a right uppercut had him down again and he was done

Total mismatch, Thompson looked in control, both knockdowns were class but hardly a launchpad to Alimkhanuly

Hardy looks good prospect got abit of everything and shakan pitters look very good I know against a stand in opponent but took him apart hope he gets his EBU shot, was a decent night of boxing from GBM

Pitters a domestic level boxer but he's tall, gangly and awkward as hell, can see him fiddling his way to a decision if I'm honest, especially at home

This fights rescheduled this Friday on DAZN

Pitters is out, Brad Rea stepping in to fight Dos Santos

rea's weight been all over the past few years

This cards on now, bairns got YouTube on, I'll get the main event, hopefully Rea pulls it off

pretty sure rea fight was called off, only caught last part of the interview, sounds like opponent bottled it.

Just seen that there, what a shit show, Dos Santos pulled out at the 11th hour last time as well, he should be stripped,nl you've gotta feel for Rea

Terri harper looking like an absolute doll - that was a nice surprise

the frenchman had pitters cancel twice on him. the second time just days before the fight. hes not the one to be mad at. rea done nothing to deserve a shot and wasnt even going to get one until 2 days ago, its not like he lost a big chunk of his career waiting on a shot that kept being pushed back

Dos Santos pulled out first time, Pitters fought on the card

Crocker vs Bradley looks a good match up, both unbeaten

Great knowledge both

Shug making his ring walk

If the BBBofC have got any interest in boxer's welfare, they should not have sanctioned Hughie-Garber. #31 vs #571 in the world. Absolutely disgusting.

I'm not saying he's gonna end up being as good - of course I@m not - but, there were at times, shades of Kash Ali...

Sounds like Shak was really ill, anyone know what Santos' problem was ?
