Smith could be a character from the Fast Show or something.

Barely a mark on him either.

He said in the post-fight interview he was faking being tired. He was fooling everybody if that's true.

For once I don't have any problem whatsoever with Howard Foster's stoppage.

Yes Thompson was never getting through that onslaught.

Agreed it’s just cos Heaney flogs tickets isn’t it

I'm sure I've brought this up before but Hutchinson's accent is all over the place. I wouldn't have said he was Scottish!

He was indeed.

Pauls may have been well down on the cards (and rightly so) but he was landing that straight right at least a few times a round all night long. In the end there was always the possibility that one of them would hurt Shakiel if he kept going forward, and so it went. And tbf he largely wasn't getting hurt despite losing the rounds.

Another tough, dramatic win for Pauls and I hope he gets a very good payday off it.

Is he a traveller?

I don't know. We'll have to ask Mickey1975

He certainly bamboozles, somehow I’ve spent this week misremembering that he beat Buatsi, rather than losing admirably.

Not sure if it will live up, but I can’t wait for this.

The Hutch Train neer looks in proper shape to me.

The Cannon does - I know it's not bodybuilding, but that might just swing it in a close fight...

Who’s on now?

Hutchinson?

10 rounds fight might favour Hutch

Hutchinson?

Aren't you there?!

Yes.

Anyone got a link?

Taylor looking strong but very conventional. Hutchinson looking confident, loose and varied.

No surprises there.

1 round apiece?

2-0 Hutchinson for me

Close and what you like ?

Predictably... THT is a much smoother boxer with some lovely moves and Ez is all physicality.

19-19 ??

I feel like Hutchinson got both of the first 2. 2nd one was a little closer, but yeah 2-0 Hutchinson

Pretty sure he is.

Yeah real Alan Partridge Sports Desk vibes

Hutch starting to get his herky-jerky working wins R3 clearly.

29-28

2-1 Hutch train

Yes.

He'd better be there. Won't be too chuffed if he isn't.

Not an insane pace, but Hutchinson is just more accurate in there.

3-0 Hutchinson
