    No. It's €17 on Fite TV unfortunately.

    No British broadcaster confirmed yet for Charlos

    It’s a helluva busy weekend for boxing

    I think both Charlos win...

    I like both Charlo's to win by KO tbh.

    Not sure Rosario is all that to be honest, big step up for him. Only got the fight because he knocked out a chinny J-Rock.

    Think Derevyachenko is a decent style matchup for Jermall.
    Walks forward quite open to counters. Seen him hurt by far less a puncher than Jermall. He's tough though so might go distance in a competitive fight. Just have a feeling Jermall stops him late.

    Tyrone McKenna v Ohara Davies about to start any minute now on Sky. Love to see him do it but struggle to see how McKenna can win to be honest. Been lucky on the cards on a number of occasions and Davies should just be a level above.

    McKenna was disciplined and boxed well but Ohara just had that extra quality and power on his shots. I enjoyed the fight, I'm a fan of Tyrone and I'll always tune in. I see on his social media they were lining up to tell him he was robbed etc etc but it was the right result.

    Yeah thought McKenna boxed out of his skin but still didn't have enough. Davies definitely with the better quality shots. McKenna has no leg to stand on crying robbery coming off that Mimoune fight anyway which was an actual blatant robbery.

    Andy Lee was the first name I came up with, but my Irish boxing knowledge would be limited.

    Surely BT will pick it up. Arum came out with a come and get it plea during the week. Would expect BT to pick it up any day now.

    These things can often get picked up the week of the event.

    Not too many fights from the States these days where I'd be setting the alarm in the middle of the night, but this is one of them.

    Joshua Buatsi must be hiding a glass jaw. In another terrible fight this weekend. They seem extremely reluctant to move him up a level. Never a good sign especially when it's someone as skilled as he is.

    He impresed me in Rio, but the pro journey has been so bland.

    Baranchyk taken to hospital after. Badly limping out of the ring. Legs aren't meant to bent like that.

    Katie Taylor going up against Miriam Gutierrez on 11th November.
    I know nothing about her, but the articles I've read seem a bit meh about it, so I expect a KT win based on that alone!

    His opponent was better than expected to be fair but you can definitely see some issues with Buatsi in that performance last night. Took a lot of flush shots. Wouldn't be putting him in with a puncher like Callum Johnson anytime soon if I was handling him.
