Remember that joke at school, “your mum’s so fat when she steps on the scales it says ‘To Be Continued’…

Shakur to put everyone to sleep before the main event. There is no way I stay awake through that. 

Yeah, im hoping Padley's ambition makes Shakur open up a bit and put on a bit of a show. There's every chance he cruises to the widest points decision of all time though.

Josh Padley was apparently given a load of money and a new house by Uncle Turki for stepping up here. You get in his good graces and you're all set.

Bakole is 315lb, 30lb more than when he fought Jared Anderson. 

Considering Bakole's a guy who's had a questionable gas tank in the past you have to favour Joseph Parker here. Bakole likely has 4-5 rounds in him and Parker's amongst the most durable heavyweights in the game. Parker stops him late. 

What a mental week.

Frank looking not in the best of health himself here. You don't need to watch it all, just until Frank says the word "Antihistamine"

I've been bobbing and weaving on and off since 6 o clock this morning, missus is fuming, enjoy the night lads, what a cracker ?

[wandshogun09]

Love this…

Also, what do we think of the Undisputed belt for this? I like it myself. Much better than the one they had last time with the big ugly ‘UNDISPUTED’ going across the front of it. This one’s pretty cool.

Is WBC the main body then?

Yeah I like that belt I must say.

WBC is held in regard as the best yes.

I thought the main event was a draw, so hopefully with Bivol getting the decision, we get the third fight next. I mostly enjoyed the entire card, a lot of fun, expand more on that tomorrow after I get some sleep.

Great shot of Hearn and Bivol leaving the ring just now…

Late night thoughts. I thought Bivol won by a couple of rounds but it was a great fight. Better than the first, let them fight again. Parker vs Junkyard Dog was what it was. Padley showed a ton of heart against Shakur, who got booed for winning.  Adames clearly beat Sheeraz, money changed hands on that. Madrimov fought a very strange fight against Ortiz, who I thought clearly won. Kabayel showed he is tough as fuck coming through Big Bang, who needs a bigger gas tank than 3-5 rounds that he has. Smith and Buatsi was a great fight, Buatsi needs to realise he doesn't know everything and can't get through on toughness alone.

What a brilliant night, buatsi smith was quality, callum smith did indeed have one more big night in him.

Kabayel is brilliant imo, tough as they come but always fights smart and sticks to his gameplan,zhang couldlnt deal with him.

Bakole useless but can took the bag home and can use the jet lag and not a proper camp excuse,  sheeraz didn't like it one bit when he wasn't in control, adames a nightmare for him, and sheeraz didn't look at all like he wanted to engage, not a good sign going forward, padley deserves every bit of praise, Stevenson underwhelming, 

Bivol and beterbiev are so damn good I think they could box 10 times and you might get 10 different results, beterbiev is a credit to the sport and at 40 is still dangerous as they come, Bivol proved that when it counts he can make the correct adjustments and do the job, his boxing on the move last night was sublime,
