From Swansea, will be like on BBC Wales.

Some competitive matches on this card and those Welsh title fights are often keenly contested.

the crofts rather fancied arent they?

tbh looks a decent card competitiveness wise near the top, interested to see the crofts too

[handsofstone]

BBC Scotland has picked this up as well

Both are very fancied, let's see how they translate in the pros

Both from a proper little village, little boxing tradition, a real rugby area

good when people like this from smaller areas get airtime, refreshing

[MightyWarrior]

Intriguing chief support fight shaping up very nicely. I won’t give away the results for everyone recording this

good old school feel to this bill, Chris Sanigar promoting..lots of local Welsh faces turning out ringside…excellent build up by the BBC as well for the opener. Classy stuff, none of that godawful DAZN schtick

[THEBUTCH]

The Celtic title fight is excellent between Bibby v Omar

Beautiful skills from stylist Biby versus the rough tough fighter Omar.

[THEBUTCH]

Super fight

Clear winner for me. Gary Lockett watched a different contest to the one I just saw.

....and so did the referee!

[THEBUTCH]

I'd love to know how the ref scored that last round

[MightyWarrior]

Hell of a fight that

[THEBUTCH]

Did you agree with the result ?

[Jimmy2025]

Is BBC Wales on Freeview or iPlayer or do you need to be in Wales or have Sky?

[MightyWarrior]

No, I was surprised by the decision, but I didn’t score it

It’s on free view international channels, BBC Scotland or Wales - don’t need to be in Wales

Channel 110

Thanks. On it.

[THEBUTCH]

I wonder if the referee scored the last round 10-8...which is a nonsense.

[Jimmy2025]

George needs to start working now. If he loses this round (6 of 10), he needs a kayo to win already.

[Jimmy2025]

George 6 down after 6 for me.

Got to love the Welsh, blokes in vests with sunbed tans, dollops of hair gel and big grins in the crowd.

[Jimmy2025]

7-0 for me.

[Jimmy2025]

Some judges will give 7 and 8 to George as he was pressing forward but it's not quality work for me.

8-0

[THEBUTCH]

George's corner should have put a rocket up his arse before the 3rd round.

Ethan has failed all night to get himself in position to unload the big shots...to be fair Gilheaney is cagey, but failing a one punch turnaround, George has given his title away.

[Jimmy2025]

Gilheaney 9-0

[THEBUTCH]

George just hasn't made life difficult for Gilheaney tonight.
