Definitely, what a treat for a Sunday night ! got a few quid on McDonnell to win on points and am tempted to put a few more on (been to pub), anyone know who else is on the bill ?

I didn't realize that fight was tonight. I could have easily missed it.

I'm hoping to watch live but am recording, Dirrell v Rubio is on the bill

I think Jamie will get through on points in a cracker, I don't think he'll get dropped this time and will start faster this time.

Couldn't Hearn have got another of his fighters on the undercard?
It seems like a wasted opportunity.

Wasn't Boomer originally on the undercard? - not sure what happened.

Was tempted to take a rare Sunday night trip to the pub myself, but dunno if I can be arsed.
Not a good idea starting the week with a hangover.

I think this will be a hard, tough night for Jamie. Kameda didn't box to his potential in the first fight and still ran McDonnell close. He underestimated Jamie in my opinion and won't do that again.

Callum Johnson pulled out of his fight last night so Bellew was moved onto that show, even though his trainers in America with McDonnell.

Looking forward to McDonnell vs Kameda, can see Kameda upping his game and getting the W.
Dirrell vs Rubio should be relatively competitive (if Rubio doesn't quit like he did against GGG) but I think Dirrell will ultimately be too big and too strong

Put a small bet on Rubio at 7/1. Haven't been impressed with Dirrell since he moved up in class.

I think McDonnell-Kameda will go right down to the wire again tonight,it could be even better than the first fight,i think Jamie will start a lot faster than he usually does and i expect Kameda to come out throwing combo's constantly from the off,in a busy,tiring fight for both guys i feel McDonnell's better engine will get him the nod
Dirrell-Rubio is a good match up too,i still cant believe Dirrell let Jack beat him last time,Anthony was uninspired that night,he needs to win tonight,Rubio has over 50 KOs to his name so hopefully he can land on Dirrell to make it a fight,i fancied Dirrell for this but im starting to think Rubio might KO him

Looking forward to this one. Not sure whether in the 1st fight Kameda didn't live up to expectations or McDonnell was just a lot better than everyone thought. I think McDonnell's size is a advantage for him here, he seemed to adjust well as the 1st fight went on aswell and was getting stronger towards the end. Hopefully he can do it again tonight.

What channel is this on, advertised as sky sports 2 but my planner (Virgin media) is stating that they are showing French top 14 rugby union until 10pm

I'm tempted to get a few quid on him by points too. Lost a few quid yesterday and may try to recoup.
