Benjamin Whittaker vs. Braian Nahuel Suarez & Joseph McGrail vs. Aaron Hayden RBR.

She's what, four fights in, she is a commodity that Hearn wants to monetise to her max, of course she was going to win. Just like almost all other fighters in the same situation. Opponent had a lot of heart and made her work. I think McCann is always in good nick, shows decent skill and sells tickets. And that, sadly, is what its all about. I wish her all the best, alwaya seems like a grafter.

 

She looked decent tonight, good punch selection. Just personally feel that the extravagant walk outs should be saved for the big occasions. Benn last week coming out to a medley with violinists to beat an injured career junior welterweight was even worse.

 

Even Diamente's heart doesn't sound in it.

 

Waste of time. Get him back out in a month.

 

Not really sure what to make of that. He's had such a weird career so far Whitaker.

 

Just do Whittaker v Arthur next

 

Pointless fight, really – and honestly a pretty pointless card overall. Only real bright spot was McGrail, who looked sharp and promising.

No one will know whether Whittaker has anything until he has a real fight, and he's in the one division where there are plenty of domestic rivals.

 

Arthur is fighting Lewis Edmondson in June but there’s plenty more British 175ers for him to face. Ezra Taylor, Craig Richards, Dan Azeez etc.

 

The man's a dick. Can't stand his fake over confident persona.

 

Reminds me of DeGale – and like him, until he has the real fights, no one will know how good he is. DAZN could pretty much run an 8-fight knockout tournament of domestic Light-Heavyweights right now, and Fast Car is out here giving it the hard sell about taking him to America.

I guess Hearn is hoping Ben is the readymade replacement for Benn.

 

He doesn't seem a bad boxer, he might end up at fringe world level, but the way the pundits are talking about him like a cross between Prince Naseem Hamed and Sugar Ray Leonard is an insult to the intelligence.

 

Learned nothing from that.

 

How did Atang look going the distance?

 

4 years a pro. Has fought no one. Sort of reminds me Buatsi’s career. On the boots card next, should be trying to build a fan base here, because for this next superstar we’re getting sold, nobody is interested.

He might be fringe world level, but we’ve already seen that his heart isn’t in it when the going gets tough so who know.

 

Opposition had only been stopped twice in forty fights and a decade long career, definitely knew how to do his job. Atang was just guilty of smothering his own work really. Good experience for him, and now takes the pressure off him having to KO everyone.
