    No one has started a thread here so I figured I would do one.

    To open, Anthony Joshua was put under a bit of early pressure by a willing, but limited Matt Legg, but the Olympic Gold Medalist landed a nice uppercut to put his foe down for the full count of ten midway through Round 1.

    I like how honest and analytical Joshua is in his post-fight interviews. Looking forward to the potential Skelton match-up in July.

    Joushua's back is sick. I mean he looks like he's going to sprout horrible fleshy wings and fly beyond great Cthulhu or some ****. Wtf is he up to?

    Jamie McDonnell vs Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat 12 rounds.

    Round 1: McDonnell, as is to be expected, uses side to side movement and works off the jab in the opening stanza. He lands a couple of nice rights and peppers the Thai fighter's gloves with combos. The Thai remains patient, and seems content to follow his foe around the ring, while probing with the jab for the most part

    10-9 JM.

    Holy ****, you are right, that ring is tiny... if Froch and Groves fight in that, it's going to be insane...

    Round 2: Closer round. The Thai works his way inside and starts to fire away at the body with both hands. McDonnell lands a few nice counters to shade it, but Tabtimdaeng looks to be very much in the fight by the time the round ends. 20-18 JM.

    20-18 JM. Commentators slightly over-rating the Thai lad's work.

    Better round for the Thai, sharper with the body work.

    10-9 Thai
    29-28 JM
