I docked a point in that round for Sunny Edward’s voice being so annoying

Barker wound me up with his pronunciation of Howarth.

98-92 Visioli, cracking contest, a real battle, Howarth is 1 hard bastard, came forward pushed Visioli and landed a fair few over the distance, had no quit in him, Visioli for his part would've learned a lot, going 10 hard rounds at a fast pace, getting chin checked but showing grit, reacting well fighting under pressure and his shot selection was super, worked that southpaw left well, times it beautifully, was good in the corner, gets his quick combinations off, really fast hands, never allower Howarth to get in the fight, outboxed him, outfought him and outworked him as well, Visioli got wet in there but was still always a level above

As ever mate, grateful for your quality breakdowns. Gutted as wanted to go to to this card but had other commitments.

Visioli should be doing better than that vs Howarth if he is going to go on to world honours.

He doesn't appear to have much of an inside game and was happy to initiate clinches at times.

He does have good boxing at range and his handspeed looked good. He seemed to hurt Howarth in the ninth to the body but apart from that I didn't see Howarth bothered that much. I expected to see more power from Visioli.

Good step-up win for Visioli. Matchroom's stable is incredibly weak and nothing really jumps out from these Next Gen cards. Buttigieg ain't it.

I'm surprised Maca and Ayton were on the prelims.

I really like Sunny, but he was barking far too many instructions. There's only so many things you can take in. A great line from Angelo Dundee during rounds with Sugar Ray Leonard.... "I want you to box, that is all."

I really want to see Visioli v Cameron Vuong. Both with Matchroom, around the same age with same amount of fights.

Codie Smith went 1-1 in the ams with him, he lost the ABA final, that would be a good English defence.

I thought Visioli looked great and did the 10 rounds fairly comfortably.

When he rips those combinations the speed is dazzling.

Howarth played his part and didn't come to make up the numbers.

Although Visioli is now a bonafide contender for the British title, I wouldn't rush him into a challenge. He's had a great 2025 but I'd wait until at least the 2nd half of 2026.
