IB's RBR disclaimer: DO NOT ASK FOR LINKS! Do not hint for them. Do not ask "what channel?". Do not make any post that could be interpreted as insinuating a link request, even if it sounds innocent (ie stuff like "Gee, I don't have a way to watch this" or "if only this was televised where I live...") The folks at ESB do not want to get sued and therefore have adopted a VERY strict policy of zero-tolerance on stream requests to cover their butts. Thank you. PS. My only other request is that, as a matter of courtesy, you refrain from posting spoilers if you are aware of undercard results that most people are going to see televised on delay. Please also don't spoil results from other unrelated events here. Thanks.

Round 1: Braithwaite 10-9 Ahmed is taking the centre of the ring but Braithwaite dominates the round landing a variety of shots to the body and head.
Round 1 Ahmed 10-9, close Hard to split them, but I think Ijaz outworked him by a hair. I preferred his compact work up top.
Round 1: Braithwaite 10-9 Round 2: Ahmed 10-9 19-19 Both fighters are exchanging and landing good shots. Ahmed landed a great left hook to the head which Braithwaite took well. Hard rounds to score so far.
Round 1 Ahmed 10-9, close Round 2 Ahmed 10-9, close Ijaz did better work to the body, Braithwaite already holding way too much, the pace is getting to him and he's looking gassed already.
Round 1: Braithwaite 10-9 Round 2: Ahmed 10-9 Round 3: Even 10-10 29-29 Both fighters are switching stances trying to take control. Since Braithwaite has taken this on short notice I feel like he’ll tire quicker than Ahmed will if the fight goes long. Braithwaite landed a great shot which stunned Ahmed - the best shot of the contest so far. Ahmed then ended the round really well landing to the body. That makes the round even for me.
Round 1 Ahmed 10-9, close Round 2 Ahmed 10-9, close Round 3 Braithwaite 10-9, close Ahmed on him early, landing clean one ttwos up top. Marel again holding. It's turning into a wrestling match, Ijaz working him over in hold. Ijaz amping up the pressure. Marcel rocks Ijaz with two left hooks. They're in close trading hooks. Marcel lands a right rabbit punch, Ahmed lands some solid uppercuts and left hooks. Macel landed the more eye catching punches, but it could go either way.
Round 1 Ahmed 10-9, close Round 2 Ahmed 10-9, close Round 3 Braithwaite 10-9, close Round 4 Ahmed 10-9 Ijaz at range, whipping in uppercuts to the body. Marcel landing decent left hook counters up top. Ahmed not dissuaded, pounding the body. Ijaz unfurling the jab and blocking punches better. Ijaz landing one twos. Starting to fly the head of Marcel. Feeling the pace big time. Heavy left hok and overhand right from Marcel. Ijaz back to landing uppercuts.
Round 1: Braithwaite 10-9 Round 2: Ahmed 10-9 Round 3: Even 10-10 Round 4: Ahmed 10-9 39-38 Ahmed Clearest round of the night so far. Ahmed’s bodywork could pay off for him later on in the fight. Braithwaite landed a good shot at the end of the round but wasn’t enough for me to win the round.
