    I hope so but Sky don't usually set what they show on delay beforehand. It'll depend on if the live fights finish early or not.

    Here we go :yep

    Sky hyping Kessler/Magee calling it their 'main event'. Kal Yafai will be first up.

    Dave Darts, Froch and Nelson in the studio and not at the arena. Probably cos of the Kessler fight.

    I hope Magee really pushes Kessler tonight, I'm actually looking forward to that fight.

    Yafai's opponent doesn't seem all that (on paper!). Not expecting anyone great at this stage of his career but this guy doesn't even seem that durable.

    Eddie might say he's the Spanish bantamweight champ but that's like bigging up some team in the Europa League just cos they won their doemstic title which falls below even SPL standards.

    If they turn the lights off at least we can still see his boots.

    Yafai-Perez

    Rd1 - Watt reckons Kal has a "special look" to him. Makes an aggressive start hutning for the body before establishing his jab and slowing the pace down. Think he tried to bomb the fella out early and when that didn't happened just backed off and looked to break him down from range. Hang on, picked up the pace again now!Stepped inside and caught yer man with against the rope with numerous punches the most damaging being a left hook to the body. Down goes Perez. Saved by the bell.
