People recon Benavidez is going to smash Plant, but Plant went 11 rounds against Canelo.

I'm not 100% on Plant, depends what he has left after Canelo, but I stuck a tenner on him because I thought the odds were generous to Benavidez early on

I think, Benavidez will win, but I'm rooting for Plant.

In an case, a hot matchup, I'm pumped and I'm taking out my fishing rod!

I'm currently watching March Madness. I'm surprised all these cards are on during this time, but there was like 2 weeks ago or so that there were no fights. Who is the idiot that sets these schedules!?

Crowley fights like a Canadian lumberjack. A top boxer gotta school him.

A bit harsh, but when someone does start coming back at him, he is going to be woefully unprepared

crowley hasnt even been on the scene that long tbf, only a couple fights ago he was brought in to lose to kudratiilo

Lol, Ramos dropped the lumberjack.

It looks like, the corner said to the lumberjack to be cautious in the final round, and he looked even clumsier.

I just woke up passed out from tiger beer, Vietnamese wine and xanax. Is this card still going? If so ill turn it on. If not 2 more xanax and back to sleep

Was Colbert/Valenzuela a robbery? I didn't see, but the fans were booing hard.

One more to go before the main event.
Been OK this card, well after the Okolie Light card watching paint dry would be better.

Didn't score it, but Colbert is a broneresue loser.

Yes. Well I thought it was

"big" Ramos vs Spencer, this should be alright

Man, I still remember when dudes were high on him. What a downfall.

Yeah, I'm excited to watch. Always rare to get two young prospects to fight each other instead of waiting for some crap mandatory look eliminator.

Judges Glenn Feldman, Lisa Giampa and Don Trella all scored the fight the same, 95-94 for Colbert.
