118-112 Honeyghan

Good performances from Lloyd against an opponent it was probably hard to look good against.
Lot's of good movement from Honeyghan, more fluid than i remember him against Curry. Blocker lacked ambition for an undefeated fighter. Came in like an "opponent", the type of performance you expect from the kind of fighter you'd put in with your prospect to "take him rounds". He threw enough to stop it looking totally one sided but never really looked like he was there to win until the 12th round, which he still only won by the narrowest of margins. I could see that being scored wider to Lloyd, perhaps even a shut out on some card, much like the commentary and that was without Honeyghan looking vintage.

The Bumphus fight was fun while it lasted.

Not sure if Lloyd waited for the bell in the second, that was a bit mad
