Asinia Byfield just obliterated prospect Sam McNess by TKO in round 5. Will be a very hard fight to come back from, it was a beating from start to finish and McNess took huge punishment. Crowd trouble after the fight as McNess' fans are unhappy.
The McNess/Byfield fight was a good one, McNess was going for that left hook counter hail mary until the very end. A fight that it seems everyone on here missed. Whatever, it was a good fight and an upset!
Great fight that, i liked byfields unorthadox gangly style, crazy angles, great movement etc, reminded me a little bit of prince naseem, not as athletic or quick but similar in some ways.
Bonus, there was a big brawl throughout the spectators that went on for 15 minutes after the fight was stopped. Golota/Bowe lite, UK Style.
Good scrap. For a while I thought McNess was coming back there. Almost looked like Byfield had himself punched out. I'm not familiar with either fighter but McNess doesn't look like a promising fighter to me.
There's a 4 rounder on at the moment, after that I think (edit: it's over now. I think Yarde is up next, but not 100% sure)
He's going be the very best lhw within couple quick years and has potential be be atg lhw right now he whoops ward and kov same night
He'd beat Buglioni quite easily ... but I don't think he's ready for Ward yet, one should step-up more gradually by fighting top 20-30 guys first.
