    Bolotniks stops Michel with 10 seconds to go in the light heavy final. Decent fight but Bolotniks just had too much firepower really.

    Dickens v Walsh on next. Should be a good fight. Very hard to call.

    I couldn’t stay up for Walsh-Dickens. Went up after the LHW fight

    FFS, it’s a skool nite and they are so late!

    Not missing a whole lot to be fair. Close cagey affair but Dickens shading it for me and pulling away a bit in the mid rounds.

    The fight of 2020 is taking place tonight. I'm surprised Eddie does not have it on PPV!

    Anyone getting the Canelo fight on DAZN?

    If so, is there an additional charge for the fight?

    Nice one.

    So 1.99 and you get your subscription and no charge for fight..

    One more query: can you watch the fight after it has aired? Is it on their library, like YouTube?

    Yeah their whole shtick is they don't do a PPV model. No doubt they'll bump that 1.99 to a higher price sooner than later. In the States it's $20 a month these days. Great deal while it lasts though.

    Yeah there's an on demand feature to rewatch the fights. Have a catalogue of classic Sky and Golden Boy fights too.

    Anyone see the Canelo-Smith face off?

    From the angle I saw, Smith looks 5-6 inches taller.....big difference...

    I wouldn't mind if Smith won....

    Canelo is far from unbeatable....Smith has to really believe he can win, and go in trying to win every round....that means committed and spiteful offence...timnidness will see him get beaten

    A shot to bits gun-shy timid Kovalev, who is naturally the same size as Smith, was well able to box with and land and keep Canelo off him...until the end, of course

    Not sure the size difference is going to make too much difference. Think Smith's performance against Ryder was telling. Ryder was able to close the gap without issue and Canelo will be able to do the same. Ryder just kept coming forward using loads of upper body movement and Smith went very hesitant to commit to his punches. Can see Canelo wearing Smith down to the body, Smith gassing and Canelo pretty much teeing off on him by the latter rounds.

    Yes...sounds about right

    Smith needs to really hit heavy here....if he can, then even a sturdy Canelo may not be too eager to press forward....the rounds creep by, and Smith is in with a chance...

    Let's maybe give Smith an off night vs Ryder.....?

    Signed up to Dazn there.

    Great value. Kind of makes sense when you think about it. Say you are giving Sky Sports €20 a month. Probably €15 of that is going on soccer, the rest on golf etc.

    As did I. 2 quid a month. Worth it even for a few hours a month.

    Tanaka v Ioka on Premier Sports from 9am should be worth a watch. Difficult to see how it won't be a fight of the year contender. Fancy Tanaka to do the business myself.

    Tanaka's combinations are such a joy to watch. Razor close fight so far but a really good clash of styles.

    Ioka is such a legend. Didn't think he'd win that but what a performance beating Tanaka like that.

    Great stoppage from the ref Tanaka was completely out of it. Ioka really just took him to school a bit there. Tanaka's lack of head movement really his undoing as Ioka got the measure of him and started to time him. Brilliant fight though.

    Impressed with Stephen Fulton last night. Likely Mick Conlan's fight for a world title. Really difficult style for Mick. Wonder if Top Rank will swerve it.

    Yes. Showed complete game. Very good body punching. Very fit as well

    I’d make him a clear favourite vs Conlan.

    Looks like Manny and Ryan Garcia is a done deal

    This Garcia kid could be huge if he manages to get the win . No guarantee though i'd fancy Manny to stop him

    Manny had that in the back pocket if McGregor lost.
