Rake of fights Sky 401 and ITV BO 493

walshb

Fair few fights tonight starting at 7.40 pm from the Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Dublin's Jay Byrne fighting Anthony Fowler. On earlier than the broadcast

Stuart hall meets Paul Butler again. Last fight of the night.

Others include O'Hara Davies, Rocky Fielding and Tom Stalker..

Nothing approaching real quality, but may get some good action.

ITV BO free from 8.30...Bredis v Perez around 10 bells.

Burial.

Spike fighting stateside as well later tonight. Chisora is fighting some can on that Fielding card as well. Glowacki is fighting a can on the Briedis card in a stay busy as first reserve for the tournament. I saw somewhere as well that Devon Alexander (remember him) is having his first fight in two years tonight. Struggled hard with prescription pill addiction after surgery from the Maidana fight but seems to have turned it around. Still only 30...it'll be interesting to see can he rebound as he looked pretty awful in his last few fights.

The Sky card isn't actually horrible. At least some competitive fights on it which is rare for Hearn. Looking forward to Fielding v Brophy although I think Fielding should have enough in that.

Be great craic to see Ohara get beat again. Don't think Tom Farrell will give him too many problems though.

No idea how Mike Perez will get on but looking forward to it. Potential to be a really good fight if Perez fights as well as he can. So many question marks and such a big ask for him though. Have to favour Briedis who I rate highly.

Also Filip Hrgovic is making his pro debut on the undercard. Really good prospect who I think should've won gold in the Olympics. Robbed against Yoka in the semi's and would've beaten Joyce imo. Great pro style, looking forward to following his pro career.

Won by 1st round KO against Zumbano Love who seems to be the HW resident tomato can. Wasn't televised but will probably wind up on YT sometime.

As well as to be expected for an Irish novice against a team GB Olympian.

Stalker just has not impressed in the pros..

Blanco100

No. I think that could be it for him. Where does he go from here?

Not a massive fan of the Vaughan trainer either.

He goes nowhere. I think he's desperate poor as a pro.

No working streams either. Very disappointing

Cork folk reckon he has a great chance.

Morrison J

Massive ask but would love to see Perez do it.

Burial.

Latvian anthem sounds like the Mr Bean theme

Burial.

Perez looks in the shape of his life, fair play lad.

Morrison J

Lennon is so much better than Buffer these days it's untrue

Boooourns

Keep us updated folks.

Burial.

Pretty even two rounds...both lads landing handily enough. Briedis has landed some nice straight rights...Perez boxing well. I've it 1-1

Burial.

Point off for accidental headbutt for Perez...pretty bs. Briedis left eye cut and bleeding

Kidantrim

Keep up the commentary lads thanks, I can't watch this either , relying on this thread for the updates

Diddley Squat

thats unusual - accidental but deducted a point

marvsins

I have Perez rd 1, Briedis rd 2 and draw for 3rd. Harsh deduction for accidental head clash!

Burial.

10-9
9-10
8-10

Perez-Briedis

Close fight...cut looks bad enough. Brieids with a bit more urgency.

Diddley Squat

perez is beeter fighter , and the busier

Alfred Borden

Briedis up by 1 for me so far. Ref is having a mare.

Burial.

Briedis clearly trying to rough it up to take away from Perez's boxing skill. This is a very close fight to score...you'd feel for Mike being in Latvia, having a point deducted and being warned for rabbit punching.

Alfred Borden

Briedis won that round. 2 up!

marvsins

Ya ref killing him and with the home crowd it's going to be very hard to get a points win. Needs to focus on his boxing skills.

Burial.

Mike looks to be getting a little frustrated. Clear Briedis round.

Burial.

That Briedis uppercut is a beauty...has caught Mike a few times.

Diddley Squat

all even

marvsins

Pity Perez did have a proper tune up fight before this. His timing and accuracy are just off tonight and Briedis is there to be hit

Diddley Squat

perez took a uppercut in the throat ........ouch

Burial.

Mike getting more frustrated and looks to be tiring...Briedis doing very well to make him more frustrated. A peach of an uppercut looked to have stunned Perez. Briedis has won the last 3 well imo.

Alfred Borden

Perez 3 down now for me

titan18

I hate this ref

Burial.

Perez has clear ring rust but that skill level is definitely still there...if he doesn't pull this off there's still a good stint at Cruiser there for him. I think he should target Huck if he loses here.

boxer.fan

Rubbish fight. Terrible clash of styles. Briedis has the superior footwork although neither fighter is looking anyway good.

Burial.

116-110 Briedis is my card. Him vs Usyk next.

marvsins

Perez can be happy with getting through 12 rounds and move on from this. Breidis hasn't a prayer in semifinal if he thinks he can fight like this again.

Burial.

Fight came a little too early for Perez. A few more fights getting used to CW and more rounds and it could have been a different night. Briedis is a clever fighter though, always looked in control. Assuming Gassiev pummels Diablo which he should with ease then it's the big four in the semis.

marvsins

116-110
115-111
114-112
Can be no complaints, last one even a bit generous to Perez.
