    I couldn't find it anywhere either. So I had to subscribe to Discovery + standard package for 3.99 for the month.

    Wyatt Sanford (Canada) looked really good, reminds me of like a prime Josh Taylor. Next up though is Ruslan Abdullaev in the quarters, that is gonna be some fight! Shame they are on the same side of the draw, that could easily have been the final.

    Definitely. Just finished watching it. Outboxed him and point deduction was bull****.
    Edwards has potential. He is very agile and quick. He was doing some stupid things, but that’s just lack of coaching. I also liked his awareness, he reacts well to his opponents assaults. If he has decent power he might find some success in the pros.

    Lenzi beat Joshua Edwards fair and square. Won the first 2 rounds. Was landing the much heavier shots.

    I don't think Edwards will do anything as a pro. Too small, no power.

    I bet he has more success than lenzi will.

    Disagree. Though I think both won't get to world level. Lenzi is very heavy handed, and that power will be even better with smaller gloves. He'll be exciting to watch with a high KO ratio,

    Can't believe how poor Edwards is, considering some people were hyping him.

    Never seen either one before. But it was obvious to me Edwards was the more talented one. Neither one was very skilled, but Edwards at least showed some athletic talent.

    Lenzi was stronger than Edwards.

    And a heavyweight that can't punch, is worthless.

    Yes, it made no sense to stop it. Same for the eight-counts

    Teremoana Jr actually lost to Lovchynskyi in Feb last year. He's improved a lot to get revenge and destroy him in one round like that.

    He also lost to Jalolov in May last year. Interesting to see what happens in that rematch!

    It will achieve nothing but you would be used to that.
