Olaniyan looks one of the best prospects out there.
Would be great to see him and Atang but of course that would never happen…. Maybe in 2029

Olaniyan already looks significantly sharper than in his debut, to me.

DRAMA IN DUBLIN

Been told that the result of Paul Ryan v Paddy Gallagher fight was read out incorrectly as 58-55 win to Paddy Gallagher in the ring

The scorecards infact showed it as a 58-56 win for Paul Ryan on referee Paul McCullagh's scorecard

The result will be overturned to a win for Paul Ryan, who moves to 12-2, with Paddy Gallagher dropping to 17-7-1

He did look a bit fleshy around the waist but was very sharp. Was it a late addition to the card?

Been excellent prelims these have really entertaining.

I didn’t even know he was on the card until earlier today. He has appeared a bit fleshy so far but he’s looking good, straight down to business.

You’d think that usually McCann would have found herself contesting a world title belt of some sort by now. Bit of a bugger when there’s an undisputed champion about.

Excellent so far. Didn't look great on paper, but it's delivering.

Bevan v Brennan should be a good fight. Brennan was a really good amateur. Getting on now and had some personal stuff but what a fight to be in.

Taylor Bevan looked like he was caught between styles last time out. Needs to be a lot better this time out to win this one.

Its devoid of any big fights but still well matched undercard

Any thoughts on Allen v Carty?

Allen lets Carty punch him for a bit then knocks him out

Not sure why the comms have such an issue with that finish, it was a body shot he got dropped with before the KO.

He had suffered two previous knockdowns from headshots, and once he could no longer handle Bevan going to the body, it was clearly over.
