Lyndon Arthur vs. Liam Cameron & Sultan Zaurbek vs. Roman Ruben Reynoso RBR.

Osgood is booked to be fed to another three undefeated prospects this summer after Fielding - two more in the next fortnight alone.

 

The one bloke Osgood actually beat, Logan Paling, has an 0-12 record.

 

Honestly this entire card all up and down is pretty lopsided mismatches, including the co-main events.

 

Fielding went for the stoppage in the fourth but didn't get it. He did, as expected, take a shutout UD - which prompted the arsehole DJ to play his RHCP walkout song in entirety.

 

Oliver Zaren vs. Thomas Lacroix, 6 rounds @ super middleweight

 

This one's an unbeaten southpaw Dane vs. a twice-beaten Frenchman.

Zaren is the house fighter, having appeared on British soil already several times on Wasserman cards. Lacroix has never fought outside France.

 

KO3, it was all one-way traffic. Zaren nets his fourth kayo in thirteen starts. Curious that his rate is so low, as he fought like a confident puncher from the jump.

He is managed by Mikkel "The Viking Warrior" Kessler, but doesn't look to have a fraction of his talent. He's alright in terms of fundamentals, but even against this inferior opponent got a bit overexcited and sloppy - both landing a rabbit punch and hitting Lacroix while downed en route to getting rid of him for good. Both fouls looked incidental, more just a lack of control than malicious intent.

 

Clark Smith vs. Jensen Irving, 6 rounds @ super welterweight

 

CS has a couple of really effective combos - double jab in the opponent's throat followed by a left cross on the nose, and overhand left up top followed by a right hook on the body as his momentum carries him in.

Probably the overall best looking prospect on the card so far,

 

The referee Mark Lyson scores it 60-54 to Clark Smith.

And there is half the non-televised bouts down in a scant hour-and-a-half, another four to go to fill up the next two hours and fifteen minutes. I have a feeling there's going to be a fair amount of downtime for the crowd before the Channel 5 broadcast starts.

 

Matthew Harris vs. Yury Bykhautsou, 6 rounds @ heavyweight

 

If the name Yury Bykhautsou sounds familiar - he is that Belarusian jobber who made waves giving Robert Helenius fits six years ago, losing a split decision where most observers felt he was robbed of an upset victory.

"Magic" Matty Harris, the six foot eight inch twenty-four year old A-side here, did get knocked out by the last Eastern European journeyman he faced in his one pro defeat..

 

Harris has a seven inch height advantage, a fifty pound weight advantage, and is thirteen years younger.

He really has no excuse to not shine. Bykhautsou has only been dropped or stopped rarely in his career, but enough times for it to be a fair expectation here over the course of six rounds with that whole deck stacked in Harris' favor and with Bykhautsou's entire torso looking soft as melted butter.

 

And there we have it, KO2 by Magic Matty Harris.

Can't say I'm impressed overmuch.

 

Matty and his coach pretty realistic about the fact that he still has a lot to work on.

They want to get him more fights to build confidence and decline targeting or calling out any regional or area belt holders just yet.
