    Really is fascinating being able to hear the corners between rounds. One plus out of all this Covid nonsense.

    Ain't it just - would be great to have it as an interactive option on streams going forward - choose the corner you want to listen in on!!

    Comfortable for McCarthy now.

    Still waiting for a mute commentary button. They say it would be great for soccer but it would be great for some of these Sky cards!

    I tend to mute it myself alot of the time - the sky crew are far too biased for my liking!

    McCarthy hasn’t looked right since he went for the finish that wasn’t there. He’s taking some big hits the last 2 rounds and is somewhat hanging in there.

    Lagoune certainly finishing the stronger - this is by no means in the bag for McCarthy yet!

    I have McCarthy up by 1 round going into the last - how have others got it scored?

    Johnny reckons that he’s found his ceiling and I tend to agree. There’s nothing elite about him and he seems to be a bad trainer and his stamina is poor. Well done tonight that’s a big achievement but he’s bang average

    Yeah think that's fair. European title a great achievement for him

    Yeah - hard to disagree really - he's really going to have to step up as he goes onto world level opponents - taking the foot off the gas like he did tonight on that level will have him found out very quickly.

    Yes. Very soft title that...

    Tommy is domestic level really..

    MaCarthy could get a bit fitter easily enough and it would improve him. He needs to improve to make a step up. Tonight was my first time watching him so I may be talking out of my hat, there may be circumstances at play but if he fought for a world title running out of steam and needing a recharge after every exchange he wouldnt get close.

    Thanks for the link. I threw a few quid on KO round 2. Suppose it was far enough away. I like Gassiev

    Yeah nothing to read into that fight but do think Gassiev can be a problem at heavyweight. Huge puncher and plenty in the division won't be able to take his pressure.

    Best thing about this and some other women’s fights? 2 minute rounds!

    I think you massively overrate him..
