Conor Nigel Benn vs. Christopher Mark Algieri & Katie Taylor vs. Firuza Sharipova RBR.

Like her, but Taylor definitely on a steady decline now. Long amateur career, 13 world title fights and simply age catching up. Not tonight, but definitely there for the taking

 

Radio commentator and a very good one - where the breathless description is the art form. It doesn't suit the TV and I hope he starts to learn that soon because he's one of the good guys.

 

I want Costello and Andy Lee commentating on my funeral just to make sure everyone feels sad.

 

Tired of Eddie Hearn and his Matchroom media mob trying to convince us that Katie Taylor is some mega boxing superstar. She's categorically not.

No facker wants women's boxing forced down our throats like this and then to be told that it's attracting big viewing figures.

They should have separate women's boxing cards and see what crowds/viewing figures they get. Then go from there.

 

Taylor just and I mean just getting the better of the exchanges but I expect her to get pushed back as this fight goes on.

 

Mayer and baumgardner would have a good shot of beating her now imo.

 

I’m bored as fook.

 

Taylor 10-0 up on the Matchroom Cards and only a Terence Harper stoppage can dethrone her.

Certainly on the slide unless the opponents are far better than 2 years ago. Those Persoon fights look to have put serious mileage on her clock.

 

If they had an arm wrestling match on each card before a main event you could make a strong argument for arm wrestling drawing huge figures

 

I don't quite get what she's trying to achieve with her career now either. Either she gets the big fights or not, if she keeps fighting these types of bouts she's going to lose sooner rather than later (even tonight).

 

2-2 on Darren's card

 

Firuza got a triple ggg mandible.

 

10 x 2 minute rounds for a world title fight?

I rate the ufc lasses, as they fight full rounds.

 

Speaking no more or less than someone like Adam Smith at the moment, but the way he speaks is quite urgent

Has improved massively since his first DAZN cards - the commentating on the nothing card in Mexico a couple of weeks back has clearly helped.

Him and Lee not a good combo though - get Lee out of the box and back with Bellew and Woods.

 

Ebanie made abreast of the Matchroom commentary script
