    Comfortably the best weekend of boxing since covid imo.

    Like both Charlo's to win via KO although think Derevyachenko will give it a very good go against Jermall.

    Briedis v Dorticos a very tough fight to call. Think Briedis might be slightly over the hill at this point but just think Dorticos has stamina issues and might get stopped late. Could go any way that though.

    Haven't seen any of Josh Taylor's opponent but got to imagine he probably forces a stoppage at some point possibly late on.

    Few other good fighters out as well in Nery, Casimero, Danny Roman and Brandon Figueroa.

    Hosea Burton loses on decision. Very close to being knocked out in the penultimate round. Great fight.

    Good fight but what an uninspired performance by Burton. Looked like a lad who hardly trained. So flat.

    Thought the commentator was awful.
    The Latvian swept it even before the knockdowns

    I fancy Dorticós to pull off an upset here. Big KO come on!

    Yea. Great power and solid chin but he’s very stiff and that caught up with him vs Gassiev. He’s avoiding shots better here though

    Wayyyyy ahead. Dorticós is spent he might make the final bell. So one dimensional

    Bredis was very impressive from round 3 Dorticós wasn’t in it. Ambling around

    One of the fights of the year so far that one.

    Have it 116-112 Charlo. Charlo a clear winner for me. Derevyachenko gave it a great go though.
