Looks bleedin awkward the big Aussie

Where’s Barry? the best commentator they’ve now got by a mile

Andy Lee knows what he’s talking about, but he always sounds like he hasn’t quite finished the sentence

McKean is like a southpaw heavyweight version of Joe Smith Jr.

Hrgovic leaves himself open for the counter but McKean doesn't look solid enough to exploit that well enough. McKean looks like it might take quite a lot to put him away and will probably carry some power into the later rounds.

Easy for Hrgovic, would like to see him make a statement here and get rid of him. McKean fights like a sparring partner

Think it’s Kevin ‘The cock feeder’ Mitchell holding the bucket in the McKean corner?

I think he’s just gone into his shell a bit and maybe his head is saying ‘go the distance and you’ll get some more pay days.’

Why did Matchroom get McKean? Part of the Australia plans that went tits up?

McKean coming on a bit now. Not a good style to watch though.

Is it me or does Hrgovic almost look like he needs his arm twisted to do this boxing malarkey.

Listening to talkSPORT. They’re just chatting. Not even commentating on the fight ffs. If anyone has any fishing hints I’d be so pleased.

I'm not saying this one is dull, but I just turned the sound off and watched Tim Witherspoon-Quick Tillis on YouTube.

hrg use to have a great jab and 1-2. all he seems to have now is a looping shot to the back of the head.

At this rate, AJ will be on at 11.

Chizzy should chin Wash in 2 and hopefully get AJ out soon after.

Think it’s the southpaw stance that’s throwing him off a bit.

McKean was pretty much out on his feet then. When does the ref take a point off for holding?

Hrgovic has good combinations but not enough power in most of his shots, is quite hittable, fairly slow and just doesn't push a huge pace when he's dropping rounds. Don't see him beating any of the top top opponents but he's capable of beating those outside the top 5.

Hrgovic would have been a good pupil for Manny Stewart. There's a very good fighter in there somewhere.
