I do appreciate a nice disciplined off the back foot performance from a fighter like Leach has done here, although It's not very entertaining if the opponent isn't able to get to him.

 

8-2 Leach

Masterful Blackfoot boxing from Leach. Bourke is extremely fatigued.

 

Another Leach round and Bourke is busted up - 8 points up after 10.

It needs the very best of Terry O'Connor, Dave Parris and Ian John Lewis to save the day for Bourke

 

Ian John Lewis score card going into the 11th

Bourke 130 - 45 Leach

 

I'm enjoying this performance from Leach. Wish he had a bit more pop and he would have Bourke out of here since he's being soundly outboxed. I hope the judges aren't influenced by Bourke being ineffective on the front foot and the partisan crowd.

 

Leach just needs to not get caught with anything stupid for three minutes, no way they can screw him on points here.

 

Leach takes the 11th as well - Bourke needs 10 knockdowns or a KO in the final round

 

9-2 Leach

Great boxing from Leach, but I can’t wait for this to end.

 

John McDermott got the biggest shafting ever in the same ring against Tyson Fury - the home of corrupt boxing

 

Leach cruised to a points win, Bourke very limited and lacking the skill to make it competitive

 

If Leach does not win this on points, I will listen to Roy Hodgson interviews all night tomorrow evening when the DAZN UK card is on
