    Bomber kid took 2 attempts to make weight. Nikita absolutely ripped into him.

    The Kaboose brutally kayos this Bommber fellow, I think. He's not fast enough & doesn't punch hard enough to derail him.

    Sparring in the US is great but the Kaboose has had the Russian national champ out here sparring with him so he's not giving away anything there.

    Don't see anything particularly special about Bommber. Though Nikita isn't all that exceptional either.

    Not sure the wide odds are justified but I guess the market dictates that.

    If I was having a bet tonight (which I'm not) I would throw the speculator on Django rather than anyone else. He's decent enough, knows how to persevere & packs enough pop that he could hurt a fading Parker. I like Parker to win though. He's got to be the front-runner to face Tyson Fury if the latter elects to make a title defence out here. Parker has everything to gain by doing a job on him so I think he will. Hopefully Django gives a good account of himself. I think he's earned this fight & is a good choice of opponent for Joseph Parker.

    I think tonight will be the first card in a minute that I don't bother with mainly due to it being PPV for 2 mismatches.
    Fury McKean would be an alright spectacle for Aussie boxing Fury will likely get a highlight reel KO which will be good as long as he fights Usyk in December.

    Interesting to see Demsey's name being bandied around as a potential opponent.

    Benny Horn is surely worth the price of the PPV.

    Yeah that might sway me but I think I might watch the new episodes of Succession and Barry instead.

    To be fair on the Hunter. He really has given a good service to the sport the last couple of years. Always gives his best.
    Even if he fights like Elaine trying to dance.

    You can tell he is well schooled by the great Sensei Glenn Rushton

    McKean is yet to fight anyone approaching B level in the division and it might just come back to haunt him by not landing the Fury fight.

    Next to no interest about tonight’s fights to be honest. I can’t imagine it doing great numbers at all. Lumped a couple of bucks on Bommber on points at $23.

    It really is pathetic that tonight's card is $60 there is not one interesting match up on the card. even if this was free I would be like meh. At least Paul Gallen fights even had a bit of buzz about them this is just hot garbage. The only interesting thing about tonight is that Fury is going to be there lol.
