No where for Dacres to go. He's not going to improve and does not impress to headline a card. I'd be happy Atang finish of Dacres career with a small hall main event.

Is Dacres any better than Johnny Fisher?

Who's gonna give him high pressure rounds?
Lots of fighters not feather fisted low pressure fighter like dacres.
Who?
I definitely think Jalolov would be a problem for most of the Top 10 or even Top 5 guys. Fury will obviously never go anywhere near him so no sense in even dreaming of that one. I doubt very much Hearn would ever pit Joshua against him either.

Dubois? There's the guy that would bring the pressure, but Dubois is no world beater.

Gassiev? Jalolov would box his ears off and win every round like he just did.

Hrgovic? These 2 are kinda similar to each other in style and form. So this could be interesting or a complete dud depending how hard they go for it.

Kabayel? He'd bring the pressure definitely. The most consistent body attacker in the division at the moment, but honestly he goes to the body with such frequency I look for it to get him knocked out with a punch upstairs at some point in the not too distant future.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. HBO's Hype and Presentation for Fights was SO MUCH BETTER than this DAZN bullsh*t.

The way they broadcast fights, and fill in the moments in between fights these days is atrocious. HBO would always kinda have packages telling you Who are these guys? Why should you care that they're fighting? They would build it up well.

This is just a bunch of f*cking guys yammering that barely even know what to yammer about.

You can't compare any of these modern day coverages to HBO. It's too far advanced.

So this is Olaniyan? Why's his belly so soft and jiggly? He's a professional full time athlete and he's 20.

FFS i thought Usyk had brought the curtain down on the era of long gangly goon-like fatties.

Well, that was a heroic performance

What a great undercard you just can’t beat the quality of a DAZN PPV!

Olaniyan is an accident waiting to happen. Just like Jalolov.

I feel sorry for her husband with that screeching voice. Worst ref she is on a massive power trip.

She probably wanted to be the focus…. She’s got central character syndrome

Bit of puppy fat on the young lad. Nice quick punches though..

I'm not mean on this female ref, seen her before and wasn't keen then either.

Decent stoppage but needs to get his tummy into shape.

As a 20 year old athlete I would have thought he would have been a bit more muscular.

Interesting lad, let's keep an eye on him.

If this was a school report C+

Really? I don’t agree…. I am slightly concerned about the fat he carries but he’s a hurtful puncher

Without a weight limit and without drugs having a bit of jiggle is optimum for many body types. You just can’t train hard and consistently on a caloric deficit, and so for many the extra energy training is worth carrying around 10lb of padding…

Everyone that grew up watching little heavyweights in the 70s/80s or juiced as fornicate heavyweights in the 90s/2000s can’t recognise this and think everyone should have a 6pack…
