ZB is better than a lot of a beltholders.
No reason at all he can't win a (vacant interim emeritus etc.) title with a home crowd behind him.

No chance.

That's exactly why we know ronnie Clark stops him. He eats shots. He got rocked from.a featherweight. Size won him that fight and nothing else. I love hype in boxing,. Its very funny.

No chance like Khan after KO1 to Prescott ? or Ricky Burns after almost stopped by Johanssen ?
Paul Smith got 4 title shots ffs.
'Course he's got a decent shout.

A rematch I@m sure we all want to see !

Will it happen ?

Wellborn was dire against Metcalf. Shot to pieces and up in weight. Early KO.

Think cash will stop welborn in 9?

Looks like Cash is going for the slow painful beatdown.

Had to mute the tv. Commentators chatting away is doing my head in.

Ref is blind to a lot of low blows.

Cash vs Wiliams would be a really good British Title...

since the last fight Clark has been in nick, broken his back and hasn't fought for 2 and a half years.
I imagine they will wait until Ronnie is 36 to give him the rematch with the full 2 weeks notice!
Barrett hasn't moved forwards in who he has fought and I doubt he will until he is brought in as an opponent for someone like Joe Cordina

Cash looks the part but he was shook a few times there. I'm sure Eddie will keep feeding him welters and light middles for now.

Wellborn should retire for his own well-being.

Very one sided , didn't really tell us much about Cash .

He hasnt been in nick hes behaved haha, he has had a broken hand and back but had op and now flying in gym. Hell take two weeks notice for the 12 round fight though for that IBF belt, and he will stop him this time 100%.

Probably will and had a last fight to "Cash" out .
I'll get me coat .

A 5th round stoppage is a solid win for Cash although he looked gigantic in comparison, Welborn showing his massive stones again, didn't work consistently but did land a few clean shots here and there

Cash looked alright, strong, jabbed well, targeted the body but accuracy was off and became predictable, deserved the point off still landed some nice right hands upstairs, Welborn was taking them well enough until getting clubbed down in the 5th for first KD, wouldn't have been surprised to see him last a bit longer but soon as that right put him down a second time you knew he was done, good corner, that was a hard clean shot

I think think so but I'm steaming, I'll check back in tomorrow.

Lol, that changes the odds a bit - poor Ronnie !

I don't see why Cordina is some massive favourite vs Zelfa ?
He's proved he's got good chin, heart, speed and a little power. Is he gonna be a dominant PPV star with a string of defence and multi-weight titles ? Of course not, but can he end up better than the likes of Nicky Cook, Jason Matthews, Glen Catley, Frank Bruno...?
Homo advantage and a weak vacant belt, I say he has a good shout of nicking a "world" title.

They won't put that sort of investment in him, he is not good enough at that level and he doesn't put enough bums on seats whether it is TV or selling tickets.
It will be time to let him swim in deep water soon where he will be used as an opponent.
If he wins great for him and Eddie arrives with the champ and leaves with the champ.
If he is lucky he will get a big cash out on DAZN in Vegas against someone like Lomo.

How many of the away fighters will get signed by Matchroom after this? Donovan & Ball?

I think he's the best out there, pundit as well as commentary, had a few off nights but just goes to show you how fights are perceived live on the night, everyone has the occasional horror
