I screwed up my alarm.
It's 4:50am on a foggy winter's Sunday morning and around 5°.
Fight doesn't start for another hour and a half. Even the dog is looking at me like "you d*ckhead"

Apart from the main even the odds are

Laws 1/14
Hunter 1/100
Dacres 1/100
Pattinson 1/50
Babic 1/8
TPW 1/16

and even Ritson is 2/5

I don't think it will be a competitive night's boxing

Good to see some mixed sex boxing here. It is the way forward. All that counts is if you are good enough and it looks like the woman is winning.

His nickname should be king. Not real deal.

Alen ‘The Cabbage’ Babic is an accident waiting to happen.

Someone’s gonna make some money off of Dacres, Babic and Johnny Fisher with a well timed bet on an underdog over the next few years.

I strangely quite like Dacres and Fisher although for different reasons. I’d pick both over Adaleye now and we’re not blessed with loads of other good heavys with less than 10 fights.

Dacres has a good engine but isn’t planting his feet enough. He’s got a good work rate though and nice shot selection. Also find it strange how he leans away when under pressure. needs to get out of that or his chin will be tested in his next few fights.

Fisher seems very heavy handed but may be 1 dimensional. Will be a fun fighter though whilst it lasts.

Dacres looked pretty good going forward, but terrible going backwards.
Why was he even going backwards @ this level ?

Timing is everything.

Pattinson looked fairly good. Nice shots to the body and seemed relaxed in there but needs to move his head more.

Babic is the undercard Beterbiev !
Fantastic to watch at this level

Babic a huge foghorn leghorn fan it seems

Christ Babic is an accident waiting to happen. Crude as hell. I’d favour Nick Webb over him based on tonight.

Babic must use Swingball for his training

Been saying this for ages , strong fella but an awful boxer .
Make a great doorman anytime soon .

Babic is only a cruiser really. I reckon Luke Watkins would beat him.

Yeah he’s gonna wear himself out badly with a decent opponent English champ level or above who outweighs him by a stone or more. That ain’t particularly heavy. Nick Webb would have over 20lbs on him and height.

The hype around him is laughable .

Babic is fun, however his career pans out i doubt it'll be boring, never a true Heavyweight though

In saying that he had Chambers out cold for a few seconds.

I don't think anyone thinks he's going to the top !
He's a great undercard attraction - like watching the best team in League 2.
