    Conor Benn up first tonight he's been in a war any time I've watched him, still takes plenty of shots, something he's gonna have to do less of if he's gonna make it

    Great day of boxing.

    Fancy Prograis to nick it I think. Just think Taylor has been hurt on a few occasions against Postol and Baranchyk. Prograis a far sharper puncher than both of them will be able to get to Taylor I reckon maybe even drop him. Taylor still a little hittable in the pocket and can lose his head and be a bit wreckless. Lot of it may come down to whether Prograis can take his body shots and keep coming forward though.

    Really looking forward to the Stevenson-Gonzalez fight later too. Really wouldn't be surprised if Gonzalez upset the odds in that one. Big ask for Stevenson fighting his first 12 rounder against such a good pressure fighter. Should come through it but won't be easy at all imo.

    Not a bad showtime card either with Lubin and Easter fighting in competitive fights too.

    Nigel Owens should be the referee for Okolie's fights. When I heard Eddie Hearn saying this was "the best card that has ever been put together" and I saw Okolie listed, I thought there is no way the best boxing card ever has Okolie on it. Not for the entertainment value anyway.

    Best Selby performance in years this. Move up in weight definitely helping him maintain his boxing over the rounds. Was a six round fighter at featherweight most of the time.

    Selby’s strategy here reminds me of Floyd moving, boxing and pot shotting

    If you like incredibly slow lumps throwing the odd dig at each other before gassing in round two then absolutely it’ll be entertaining.

    To think this is a pay per view, spent the last 15 mins watching old fights from a dodgey camera angle

    Price’s vulnerability is all that will make it possibly interesting. Chisora is horrible to watch. A useless lump...

    I love watching price some rounds he looks like a boxer and some rounds he looks like he just stepped out of the boozer.

    Kind of like an Everyman type character

    Great start from Chisora. You can see Price getting caught with another one of those rightst over the top. Chisora has much better head movement than Dave Allen, wont be able to jab the head off him all night the same way.

    Very worrying looking at Price's face in the corner.

    Super stuff from both there...

    I am enjoying Chisora for the first time ever..

    Price, for such a lump, has a surprisingly good inside game when he commits.

    Price looks f**ked. Getting hit far too often for a guy with his chin.

    Another very low blow from Chisora there, should have been deducted a point at this stage.

    Very sensible call there. Price was wrecked tired, and would likely have taken a dangerous follow up...

    I'm not judging it, I just didn't see a towel flying in.

    edit: jaysus how did I miss that towel. I think I may reasses my role as an air traffic controller.

    Price is a couple of weeks short of the fight he was training for. I'm not sure if that's a huge deal but he was training for a different date.

    Makes no odds, you don't build an engine, a chin or composure in a few weeks
