    Not much of an opponent to go on, but yes, he has got a decent body attack, and a general degree of patience and calmness to his work that enables him to apply consistent forward pressure throughout the course of the fight without badly gassing.

    :nod Body punches are maybe his biggest strength and weakness.

    He can dish 'em out well enough to put John away, but also might be done in by them.

    In recent pics, McDermott is looking in much better shape than usual.

    Anybody know the running order?

    I actually won't be able to watch past 10:30pm local time, so hopefully Loaded starts with the main event like Sky Sports or it starts around 10:20ish and is over very quickly. :yep

    This should be a gem of a fight while it lasts. English heavyweight fights are almost always exciting.

    The programme lasts two hours so I'd say the main event would kick off just after 10pm. Difficult to tell though.

    I'm now seeing a few places mention a 4:30pm EST/8:30pm GMT start time. :huh

    Does anyone know for sure?

    Loaded is free, right? It seems to be a different channel in the daytime and only loaded from 9. Looking forward to this one, big john on points or by late stoppage...

    Loaded effectively rent space on channel 200 on Sky. It's free to air and online.
