Rising star, hometown sensation De’von Williams (4-0, 4 KOs) of Ft. Lauderdale, FL will meet Travis Floyd of Douglasville, GA.

“This spectacular fighting event is dedicated to the honor of the life and legacy of the late great Jose Sulaiman in the spirit of world peace,” said promoter Don King. “Jose was at the forefront of always putting on great fights and we plan to honor him with this great card.”

Where is the option for Broner pulling out

This looks to be a quite watchable card.
Even with a less well known bunch the fights should be mostly competitive.
Don King working towards world peace eh?
Given what he has in his stable these days, it's a decent show.

ya looks like a solid card, now hopefully it actually holds up

Should be a solid card. The Mikaelian/Rozicki fight alone should make it worth watching. Win or lose, Rozicki will make it a war. His style doesn’t make for boring fights.

An all time great poster?

If Broner shows up?

Lol.

Do they have a replacement opponent lined for Cobbs?

Fight Week!!

ive never seen a fighter go on so much about how tough his bois are rather than how tough he is, broner been doing it at all the events for this fight

one subtle thing i like about don king broadcasts..................the replays show a good mix of moments from the rounds. not a cherry picked single good shot to fit a narrative

nobody watching DAZN tonight ?

Absolute classic Stevens vs Lopez - well worth a watch and especially if you can avoid the result.

chaney a unit but hunter having his way with him through 3, chaney barely throwing

Keep me posted pls mate...
I really wanted to bet Chaney (more against Hunter) but I was like late era and Deontay De La Hoya..

still the same in the 8th, hunter cruising it. chaney barely fighting back but hunter not pushing enough to get him near a stoppage or anything yet

chaney looks terrified, hunter fighting like it's a body only spar vs a novice he doesnt want to beat up too much

hunter wins landside ud

f@cking dazn usa, i basically watched most that fight and now a bunch of interviews after during their standard 45 min break between fights

If you ever watch the Bam Rodriguez one....

He's showing you round his family home, boxing pictures etc and just as you're losing interest he says, "I like painting, a hobby.., I painted that"
OMG it was terrible - I spat out my tea laughing at it anyway

i watched bam's jogging session like 5x tonight, plz no more or i'll want his arse ko'd

broner looking puffy

broner dropped on his arse in the 2nd by a left hand

cobbs playing around with broner. broner just plodding around with his hands up not throwing.

Collazo had a big scare in R2.
