    Yup, called it, not my winner, but Bak showed his frustration at times and didn't change much up and allowed the judges to make their call

    Kelly does some beautiful work but there’s just not enough of it, similarly I felt like murtazaliev could have done more

    Intriguing fight but didn’t get going enough for me

    I thought PBK would end up PBJ but I'm glad I was wrong.

    It was a close fight. Could've seen it going either way.

    The 115-111 card was out of line, however

    **** Adam Smith, **** Darren Barker, **** Tony Bellew and **** Sunny Edwards, little rat faced weasel. Their commentary all night tonight was beyond abhorrent.

    The right man won IMO. It was a close fight and Murta deserves an immediate rematch.

    I had it 114-112 Bak but figured Kelly was more marketable and would get the nod as the twelfth ended.

    Onto Teo vs Shakur.

    He ran away from him the whole fight! A draw at best. The commentators were disgusting. Bellew the only one remotely on this planet

    Both fighters frustrated me, Kelly I can understand the gameplan with ack of output and it worked, but Bakhram was very one dimensional. He needed to switch it up but couldn't, don't see him threatening seriously again to be honest.

    Personally, I think boxing rules shouldn't allow for the "2 minutes of running, 20 seconds of punching" fighting style of guys like Kelly - they should get warned and deducted for literal running. But it's not for me to apply my own rules - and so the scorecards were fair.

    Whoever had Bak winning needs to lay of the crack and get in to rehab . deluded .

    I had a double gut feeling for this fight my head said Bak by KO but it was also telling me PBK's style could cause him fits and he might really struggle with it and lose on points especially given he was fighting on a deck stacked against him. PBK's talent is undeniable and I think we're guilty of reading too much into the Avanesyan fight but I felt he should've thrown combos in quick bursts more tonight before getting back on his bike again
