    :good There are some very good names there.


    I wouldn't be suprised either Buatsi he made Silver. He's a dangerous guy and the buzz is very warranted.

    I can definitely see Conlan tries to emulate Lomachenko in certain ways. I'm seeing things that I'm not used to seeing from him that Lomachenko does.

    1. Block removal - pull the opponents high guard away to land shots (this helped Conlan a lot).
    2. Changing the angles with the feet to rip a shot.

    Conlan has respectable power, but he does tailor himself around lighter punches more than I'd like him to.

    That girl just humilated her boyfriend by not kissing him.

    Benchabla had close wars with Gvozdyk back in WSB, although Gvozdyk deffo was the victor.

    I've noticed that since the quarter finals, the fix starts.

    It would be asburd if Nikitin is given this decision. Nikitin is slow.

    Didn't see it but I've already seen numerous bad decisions in this tournament. Same as always.
