What round you going for?

Whatever I predict it almost definitely won’t be. I’m saying round 3

Hmm round 3?

Let’s see.

I can see maybe later rounds.

Might even turn out that Hedges is no match for Brown.

Not as a pro. It’s a hard fight to predict exactly - most think Brown wins but it’s his first test, a 6ft6 southpaw. Unbeaten. Chin quality - unknown.

Main card starts now.

Not saying Brown will be a world champion, but this has a Hatton v Thaxton type feel to it.

Against most other opponents Jono would have been British champ, but no way against Hatton passing through.

If anyone has a tributary please DM me.

Good fight that Conway v Jeffers. Right man got it.

Conway not busy enough, happens so often in his fights.

Right man won, Jeffers seemed downbeat about the win for whatever reason.
Pleased for him.

Its frustrating watching him, got all the physicality to do more and always in shape to fight but falls just that bit short.

Blimey I never knew the attendance for AJ v Dubois was 98k.

I know it’s been a few months for Masoud but I don’t know what this opponent is all about as a chief support, after a scalp like McGrail last time. Mansilla is not exactly looking like a mini Matthysse.

Damn on that note, Matthysse v Provodinkov is a fight I need to watch again. If ever a match up delivered on expectations, that was it.

It's his annual keep busy fight

Terrible performance from Masoud. He could clearly get this guy out of here but is doing rounds and putting everyone to sleep. This is not how you build a following. Quite the opposite.

Not going to sell many tickets is he.

Either that or he is carrying absolute pillows in his fists. This Mansilla guy is not the sturdiest and has been down a few times in previous fights. 

I don’t think he has KO power.

Far too negative. It's painful to watch isn't it.

Is it just me or is Masoud a boring, safety-first fighter who is very limited offensively?

Comms are trying their hardest to give Masoud props for this display.

I turned it off a few minutes ago. I simply can't stomach that kind of performance. Masoud won't be able to sell a ticket with that style.
