    This will be Claggett's first 12 round fight in what will be his 48th career bout. Sort of wild.

    Noticed Makmudi still has a neck twitch.

    This might sound bat**** insane, and it probably is. But Heffron always performs much better when he's on the backfoot. He always walks into bad counters on the frontfoot, but tends to waks guys into bombs when he's laying back and timing them. His uppercuts are money and Mbilli is very hittable and chinny, so... while I'm not saying 100% Heffron is going to pull the upset. But that this isn't an unwinnable fight for him. Basically, it feels a hell of a lot more like Heffron-Clarke than it does Heffron-Cullen.

    Quebec and Montreal used to have seriously hot round card girls and dancers in cages between rounds. Woke Canada killed our joys.

    Mbilli’s entrance was pretty cool.

    While I think Mbilli will win this Heffron is still a live underdog as he has very heavy hands and goes in with reckless abandon, no way this goes the distance.

    He'll probably get knocked out early but he can punch hard and, as you say, Mbilli is hittable and can be hurt. So too can Heffron of course but the step up to Brit Level from world level is always a big ask for anyone making it

    Both guys aren’t packing iron, this should be a really fun scrap.
