    Decent KO from Galahad but time to step him up. Everyone on Sky sat around scratching their heads why a convicted drugs cheat who served a ban from the sport and has beaten absolutely nobody of note hasn't had a world title shot. Pretty laughable.

    Boxing overload right now. Good little tournament on TG4, pity it didn't get a decent crowd at it but that's understandable with the weather.

    Where's it being held?

    Yafai v McDonnell is shaping into a nice little fight. Hard one to call.

    Spike O'Sullivan. Who actually is a top contender.

    Roy Sheehan against JJ Mcdonagh is going to be a great fight. Will be interesting to see if Sheehan can maintain the pace.

    These two bring back memories for me in the stadium. I used to coach a lad who was same age as Sheehan and a weight lower, so we always togged out at the same time. Nice young lad he was.

    JJ was probably the best underage boxer I ever saw from 11-14. Was completely untouchable in those years. Didn't quite live up to the promise, but still enjoy watching him.

    He's doing very well and showing how untested Yafai has been.
    Yafai leaves his chin very high after combos. He hasn't built 12 round stamina yet either, and that's really hurting him here. He needs to up the pace and pressure Yafai, but he simply doesn't have it in the tank.

    Yafai looks knackered in the 10th, needs a knockout I feel

    Not a good night for Eddie Hearn. Dave Allen clash of heads in the first round, Yafai now loses to McDonnell, and I think that Kell Brook is finished. I think one of his eye sockets may get damaged again. It looked brave at the time, but what a career changing decision it was to step up and fight GGG.

    How do ye see this going lads?
    I think Brook can win the first half of the fight but not the second half!

    Said it at the time that Hearn was more interested in money than the health of his fighter. It was ridiculous putting him in with a hard hitting machine in GGG and it's more than likely shortened his career.
    And then they put him in with Spence jr!

    Rabchenko won't have much left if he gets to the second half.
    He's too basic and I feel he's going to eat shots from Brook without getting through much himself.

    Brook stoppage 6-8th for me. Might be a mercy stoppage.

    By the time that's ever made I think Benn sr vs Eubank sr would be more intriguing!

    That’s that. Not really a great night for Brook in terms of getting his mentality tested after the injuries but good win

    No. He fought 5 times in the last 3 years losing once.

    I must have misread it, lost to Mundine in 2014 and Harrison in 2016 so 6 times in 4 years losing 2.
