This has now started..

Dempsey describes George Davey v Jeff Thomas as another couple of young prospects. Hmmm...not on the ball tonight.

G-Force George looks ok I suppose.

Rawlings is going to give us the name of Davey's childhood pet rabbit next. Just rambling for the sake of it.

Bolotniks vs Burton on t'other side

Cheers

So David OliverJoyce fight. Anybody watching this? Reasonably competitive first.

Bloody hell. 3 to 1 favourite Irish amateur superstar Joyce stopped in 3. Got caught on the way out by a hopeful looking swing and didn't look right when it restarted so ref steps in.

Romanian guy clearly trains like a demon.

Is Buncey unwittingly trying to put on a Romanian accent for this interview.

That was good.
Cinderella Man stuff from the Romanian

Joyce is Paddy Barnes all over again and the comms are right about turning over at the right time.

lol
To be fair Joyce was backed into a corner under a lot of pressure in the second although he looked like he'd survived it clearly in retrospect the writing was on the wall.

This 140 division doesn’t look particularly deep. After Ramirez / Zepeda surely the only only challenges for Taylor will be Loma or Gervonta moving up.

Loma ain't never moving up. If Josh beat Ramirez I'd hope he'd move up and fight Crawford.

Can't forget the way Edwards was brutalised by Martinez, just brushed aside before psycho Martinez hit Edwards on the floor and Edwards kept his title. If it was that striking to watch what must it have been like to be on the wrong end of it?

Maybe it was just weight issues?

Fight was barely 10 seconds old and Rawlings was off....Edwards partner is a nutritionist and he's now engaged and soon to be a dad in January....Riverting stuff.

Edwards should be okay here. Kyle Williams is no Martinez.

3-0 to the wee pecker or am I just biased ? (bet CE pts).
It's close and KW having his moments, but CE just a level above in skills.

Edwards looks to be finding a rhythm in the fourth.

4-1 Williams changes the pattern of the fight and staggers CE

Fifth William's best round, seemed to suddenly start finding his range.

5-1 Edwards. E too clever for William's brawling in the sixth.

Close fight in action but not in rounds.
6-2

Williams way harder, but just not good enough. Needs a KO not THAT unlikely IF he can pin CE down.

The ESPN commentary saying that Edwards did okay that round but I thought Williams got the best of it. E doesn't look good under pressure to me, but like I said earlier W is no Martinez
