Insert "If Prodan would punch more he'd get Marku out of there but he's **** and doesn't know how so Marku's basic bit@h jab wins the day" here.

 

Marku must be managed by Hearn. He's fighting like he's been told the final decision.

 

4-3 Prodans round. Hitting a couple of sweet left hooks and Marku is on his bike. Prodan's limited in his ability to cut the ring off and seems to be following Marku at times.

 

Progdan isn't gunshy and that's a good thing, he's touching Marku's midsection quite a bit .

RD 7: 10-9 Prodan

Prodan is making me want to rip my hair out. He lands one punch, Marku goes tilting towards the ropes, Prodan chases and...eats a three-piece and lets Marku exit the ropes. Whatever; he hurt Marku at least twice so he gets the round.

 

Campbell Hatton is here !

 

Is Don Turner still in Usyk’s corner? Anyone know?

 

Prodan caught Marku with a nice short left hook which wobbled him a bit.

RD 8: 10-9 Marku

Did...did Prodan land a single punch all round? I'm...not sure he did.

 

5-3 Marku, that jab just couldn't miss all round. That being said Marku looking like he is gasping for air.

 

This is a reasonably entertaining little amuse bouche. It's a pity it's followed by Campbell Hatton, whose presence is like being served a McDonald's hamburger in the middle of a 6 course tasting menu.

 

he's telegraphing like a boss. Marcu can see him comming from a mile.

 

I am going AJ, would be happy if Usyk won.

But i am going AJ. MD with a few flash knock downs.

Potentially Usyk comes back makes it close in the second half of the fight but still looses a close decision.

 

A couple of body jabs but nothing eye catching
