    One of the lads from the gym fights next weekend in Manchester, Jack Fincham against Aaron Chalmers is the chief main.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if we saw Kell in BKB. Strikes me as someone who misses competing.

    Dare say his new Mrs isn't shopping in Primark either.

    How do you rate him? Appreciate you might not want to talk openly appraising him on a forum but is he actually decent? Never seen him fight but he goes on and on about his amateur background.

    Anybody know how we can watch this? Is it in the DAZN tv channels or stream only?

    I don’t know anything about Degale’s opponent but they should a promo a few minutes ago of him and he looks ridiculously slow on the pads. Almost comically slow. After seeing that I’d be amazed if Degale doesn’t destroy him early.

    Dec Spelman just put on a clinic.

    Who was Spelman fighting? The guy looks mentally unstable and shouldnt be anywhere near a ring.

    Honestly god knows. Former English light middleweight champion Nav Mansouri just got brutalised. Fight clearly should have been stopped after the first very heavy KD with Mansouri out on his feet.

    So many fighters on this card are so clearly on gear.

    Yeah it's all very questionable. Some of the earlier fights looked like a car park brawl

    Very wise stoppage from Fincham’s corner. He was done. Can tell he has skills but the difference in power was like the difference between two weight classes. That first right hand he took in round 1 was the epitome of a reality check.

    I don’t know why he didn’t just try Misfits and fight Joey Essex or some other clown.

    Honestly never heard of him before this. That Chalmers fair play has had a go at everything but seems to have decent power for Bare Knuckle.

    I watched Fincham years back on Love Island with my missus lol. He was a loveable rogue type character but then kind of went off the rails and think he got done for fraud or something.

    Can definitely box a bit on that showing but doesn’t have the power for bare knuckle. Says he wants to fight again here but really Misfits would be the smart move for him.

    Chalmers is a hard guy for sure. Can’t knock it, looks like he carries some decent power.

    Nice tribute to Hatton here.
