Can Xu vs. Leigh Wood & Tommy McCarthy vs. Chris Billam-Smith + Avni Yildirim vs. Jack Cullen RBR.

Wish I'd put money on wood damn..can is English level.

 

Wood is winning very handily here for me. He’s in total control and picking the better, harder shots.

Wood not letting Can do his thing. Can throwing the same number of shots as Woods but, I give Woods the edge in accuracy and he's hitting way harder. Nice combo from Wood. Can throwing too many single shots.

 

England 3 points up over China after 9

 

Mate he's barely threw a hundred punches this whole fight...are u watching it?

 

Xu Can came into this as the next breakout star. He might leave as an exposed one-trick pony. Yes, the referee is helping Wood - sometimes blatantly - but world-class fighters overcome that.

 

Yes. Wood has used heavy accurate shots to make Can think twice about unloading. Are YOU watching?

 

Leigh Wood has got this in the bag now, Xu a lot poorer than I thought

 

Level after 10 for me.

 

Is that Maya ****ing Jama I can hear shouting “come on Lee!” Every 20 seconds. Seriously. What happened to professional and impartial!? Is that the vibe Eddie wants?
Imagine Jim Rosenthal giving it beans shouting for the home fighter.

Busier start from Can. Much more urgency from Can. Wood looking a little ragged for the first time. Wood doing better last minute. Good round for Can but Wood came back well at the end

 

Xu is looking like a real plodder here

 

O.k

Woods starting well, nice work to body and head. Can hurt midway. Couple of accurate RH's from Can but Wood not troubled. Wood finishing well.
