What was it ? 20 or so unanswered punches, stunned multiple times. I’ve certainly seen worse stoppages.

Good commentator with Carl, who is he?

Comm is Tim Caple, ex eurosport, good comm on the footy as well

He sounds like Adam Smith

Itauma may have peaked in the juniors. There doesn't seem much progression.

Pretty poor offering apart from the main event and I don't think anyone had Cunningham being blasted out inside a round.
Itoma was a huge disappointment, needs to go back to the show opener rather than chief support. No way is he going to win a world title anytime soon and maybe the baggage of that claim is having an effect ? He will probably end up going the same way as the last time someone had that hype in Hughie Fury.

A real mixed big of a show bookended by a decent learning fight in the opener (Zamora at least gives it go) and a good performance by Davies.

The rest was disappointing really. Most of the other fights, perhaps bar Itauma, would be on YouTube/Facebook for Matchroom and Boxxer.

Itauma has decent handspeed but I’m not seeing a future world champ at the moment. Granted I didn’t think Fury would after seeing him punch himself in one fight early doors. As Mick said, perhaps he’s struggling with the step up from juniors.

He could do with fighting someone trying to win. I’m not saying sling him in with a 50/50 fight but perhaps fighting someone trying to win will make him push himself more in training and leave more openings for him to land.

I didn't see it but just saw a clip of him being interviewed and mentioned hurting his hand again, like in the last fight, and said he wasn't used to wearing the smaller gloves. I wonder if hand issues will be a problem for him!

Huni 2.0 ....

These young fellas need to learn they cant just sit on every shot... take a bit off, increase your speed, and then pick your moments to unload a bomb... not just blast through elbows to hit forheads...
