So then do we fancy the Irish lads ("Danny Bhoy" and "TJ") in a 2-for-2 sweep or are "The Dragon" and "Machine Gun" live underdogs?

Claggett is coming off a very controversial split decision victory over Yves Ulysse, Jr. last October, in Ulysse's own hometown just six weeks before he schooled Cletus Seldin in a shutout televised on HBO.

Oliver, a prospect a decade ago, fought twice in 2015, both stoppage losses (the most recent one at the hands of Lamont Peterson's brother Anthony), before which he drew with Cornelius Lock in 2013.

 

The early part of the undercard @ House of Blues is a Dropkick Murphys concert, apparently.

 

Posted by FightNightLive 54 minutes ago:

Hey All! We'll have the Dropkick Murphys in concert for about an hour, then we'll get to the live action from the center of the ring!

 

YNWA cover, started out sloppy but hit its stride about midway. Still no Gerry & The Pacemakers but a decent rendition in the end.

 

Currently sitting at 90 minutes of live feed w/ no boxing, and the PPV end of the card starts at 10pm EST, so we're getting about half the advertised "free undercard" time on this stream, max.

 

Romain Tomas vs. Israel Rojas, 6 rounds @ lightweight

 

Round 1

Tomas is whipping all over Rojas' sides with uppercuts and clapping him between either temple & ear with hooks. Rojas is badly rocked but clinging onto the much taller & lankier Tomas. Rojas tosses blind overhands up at the cornrows of Tomas. Rabbit punch by Tomas as Rojas is ducking low.

10-9 Tomas

 

Round 2

Tomas is working the body and clubbing down at the head when Rojas backs out and bows himself in half, leaving the head dangling temptingly in front of him. Tomas is pivoting & working short uppercuts to discourage Rojas' clinching attempts, then reaching deep to slap the hips when Rojas tries grinding his forehead into the belly of Tomas in order to smother.

10-9 Tomas

20-18 Tomas

 

Round 3

Tomas is bending over and bouncing hooks off the side of Rojas. Over & over, landing everything he wants like clockwork every time Rojas takes a predictably wide lateral step. Tomas is dribbling short combos off the head as well but Rojas seems more susceptible to his body attack, starting to wilt - and down he goes off a left downstairs, getting a piece of the liver, set up by a tapping hook on the right bicep to cause the arm to reflexively coil in upon Rojas' chest, exposing the ribs beneath. Half a minute in the round, he's able to survive but gets dug a few more times in the basement.

10-8 Tomas

30-26 Tomas

 

Round 4

Tomas is swarming Rojas with hooks and chopping punches at short range. The ref is having a close look. Lead left hooks & uppercuts by Tomas, marching Rojas down. Light jabs into the throat by Rojas, leaning forward on his front foot and then rebounding and retreating. Tomas steps in and dusts him with a cuffing left & right sweeping inward from the sides like an ocean trawler, across the back of the head as Rojas is ducking and Tomas is pivoting around him. Tomas bends to his left and plants a meaty hook on the solar plexus, reaching down past Rojas' arms. Rojas down, clutching his sides, and out.

KO4!

 

That was Romain Tomas' first stoppage in eight bouts.

The Frenchman residing in Brooklyn improves to 7-1 (1).
