Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua II & Hrgović vs. Zhang RBR.

Wonder if he's suggesting anything about this fight if so

 

It seems pretty bouncy too, the ropes are moving a hell of a lot. Maybe just noticing it more because of the thick white pipe around them but don't usually see it that much.

 

The Frenchman has come to fight.

 

Round 1: Smith 10-9
Round 2: Bauderlique 10-9

19-19

Bauderlique is having success with the straight southpaw left, but he is taking a lot of shots. Smith still looks powerful at 175 but Bauderlique is unfazed and ends the round strongly.

Not sure how long these guys can continue this tempo. Smith should just stay behind the jab early on.

 

Enjoying this fight

 

Mundo looking very poor in there tonight - the Frog cannot miss El Plank

 

Smith landing a few shots on Bauderlique's arm - wonder if he learned that the hard way from Canelo

 

Sky sports are so used to 1 side walkover they can't believe it when the other guys actually fights back

 

Here he is. Ban lifted in time to watch your humble hero?

 

Round 1: Smith 10-9
Round 2: Bauderlique 10-9
Round 3: Smith 10-9

29-28 Smith

This Frenchman is very game. If he loses here tonight he’d give Buatsi and Yarde really good fights. Smith’s body work has been effective during the round.

 

Another good fight

 

RONNNIE PICKERIIIIIIING!!!!

 

Pun intended must be hard to get up for fights like this when the arena is dead

 

The French guy took a lot of punishment there

 

Round 1: Smith 10-9
Round 2: Bauderlique 10-9
Round 3: Smith 10-9
Round 4: Smith KO

Bauderlique comes forward again at the start of the round and Mundo catches him with a hook, flooring the Frenchman.

Smith goes for the finish but Bauderlique doesn’t look too hurt. Smith catches him with another hook and Bauderlique is hurt on the ropes. The Frenchman somehow survives that onslaught.


LEFT HOOK. Bauderlique is knocked out cold. What a performance from Mundo!
