Fighters are ready and warmed up but everyone has to wait because the dictator of boxing is running late.

We already get the endless shots of him at ringside and everyone lining up to thank "his excellency". Now we apparently can't even have a fight without him being in his seat.

Ring the f**king bell!
Any thoughts on the chief support?
I know nothing about Zon. But he is unbeaten with a decent KO percentage. He’s a big outsider but then again Munguia got stretched by a light hitting Frenchman. I hope it’s a good fight

I just watched the KO loss from Munguia, on paper that looks a bizarre defeat.

I see it hasn’t had much bearing on the odds for this fight. Munguia a heavy favourite.

Ffs. Munguia has not even had his hands wrapped and is in street clothes it looks like. But we have to wait for his ‘excellency’ before the fight starts

Zon has a pretty aggressive, hands down style. Should be nothing if not entertaining.

Could be a fun fight, Nikita Zon was competitive against Cuban legend Arlen Lopez. Lopez dropped him a few times late in the fight when Zon got tired and stopped him in the last round. No idea why that fight isn't on his pro record.

Zon isn't the greatest boxer but he comes forward and throws a lot of punches.

DAZN commentators don't seem to know about Zon fighting Arlen Lopez either, they claimed he never went past eight rounds. Pathetic, they do that for a living.

Zon has the body of an estate agent but he’s turned up with plenty of confidence. Not sure for how long with that risky approach.

Zon won the first round, not a technical boxer but he put Munguia on the back foot, was more active and landed more.

Close second round, Munguia with some eye catching shots, Zon more consistent.

Not sure what Zon’s team are advising him at the end of the second, but I think he’s pretty
much got to stick with this now.

Good third round from Zon.

Munguia is in danger of getting knocked out again here.

I can’t quite work out if Zon is putting everything into a 6 round gamble, or he is unleashing a cunning master plan to just break Munguia down.

Zon was better for most of round 4 but Munguia hit him clean a few times late in the round.

Great fight so far.

Zone has mixed in good company as an amateur. Can he go the distance?

They will give the decision to Munguia if it goes the distance I feel. He is gonna need a stoppage

Zon hurt late in round 5 but didn't go down from a huge right hand.

48-47 Zon
