Probably the best match-up today.

Andrew Selby vs. Michael Conlan

John Joe Nevin vs. Daouda Sow

Kaupo Arro vs. Jeffrey Camp

Joseph Ward vs. Marko Calic

Joseph Joyce vs. Avery Gibson



The next best we're fielding is probably the Croatian import, but he shouldn't trouble Ward.

Rubbermatch, top of the hour.

[IntentionalButt]

Kaupo Arro vs. Jeffrey Camp, middleweights (68-73kg)

[IntentionalButt]

They've got it all out of order today.


Middleweight, then lightweight, then bantamweight, then light heavy, then heavy.

[IntentionalButt]

Round 1

Arro comes out jabbing hard. Camp is chased to the ropes and banged across the brow with a right, lurching forward to hold. Arro kicks out each leg in turn, building into a gallop as Camp circles out of range. Big body shots by Arro, as Camp tries to lash out over his head & across his back and pull him in for a clinch. Camp keeps sliding away and watching Arro with his lead right arm held low. They clinch and spin, Camp hanging on to Arro's waist. Camp slips free and Arro smashes him with a right hand. Another clinch. Head clash. Time out called by the ref to check a cut on Camp. Arro has blood all over his shoulder and bicep from where it opened up, streaking nearly down to his wrist as he idles in a neutral corner. Time in. Big sloppy exchange, both winging hooks. Camp holds on again. 1-2 to the body by Camp.

10-9 Arro

[IntentionalButt]

All three judges gave it 10-9 to Arro.

Round 2

Arro is coming in with lead rights, boring through with his large head behind them. Danger of opening that cut back up unless Camp steps out of the pocket. Instead he stands his ground throwing big right hooks. Sure enough, cut opens up. Pause to check it out. Time in. Arro chops with a left hook, grazing Camp's chest and then digs a right hand to the body. Camp misses a right hook while backing up from an Arro flurry. Arro walks Camp to the ropes and eats an up-and-down right hook thrown by Camp off the ropes. Another pause to check the cut, which is now atrocious.

Over.

It goes down as a TKO for Arro despite being from an accidental butt.

[IntentionalButt]

I take it back; they go to the cards.

20-18 x3 for Arro. Technical decision.

[IntentionalButt]

John Joe Nevin vs. Daouda Sow, lightweights (57-61kg)

[IntentionalButt]

Round 1

Nevin is jumping in and out popping the left jab. Sow is trying to catch him with swatting right hooks, but Nevin is too nimble. Nevin is banging his way out of the catch-and-grab tie ups with left hooks. Nevin ducks a big looping left and holds. Sow is posing in front of him, arms hanging at his sides, shimmying side to side.

10-9 Nevin

[IntentionalButt]

All three judges gave it 10-9 to Nevin.

[IntentionalButt]

Round 2

Messy action. Lots of missing wide and clasping behind the back. Could be a head clash if this keeps up. Nevin settles into a rhythm back-handing his left jab from outside while tilting his head back. Sow is doing the same, aping Nevin with his southpaw jab but not reaching Nevin's chin. Sow tries to poke his way past the Nevin jab and falls in with a 1-2 to the body. Clinch. Nevin is leaning back to dodge and countering with long right hands.

10-9 Nevin

20-18 Nevin

Bit of an ugly fight this one.
