    Nah, meant more your overall impression not punch for punch. Thats how I saw it too, good workrate from Underwood but not enough clean shots.

    I reckon the Jonas v Underwood fight was one of the better fights of this tournament so far (that I've seen) in both men's and women's.

    I missed the first few flyweight fights but what I've seen I've really enjoyed so far. Good skills and entertaining fights.

    Wow the Nigerian got the decision. A bit lucky I thought, still...WHO NECKS?!

    I'm not against the idea of women's boxing on principle, just tend not to like it as much. (at least in the pros...with a few notable exceptions like Hanna Gabriels)

    I will probably be tuning in for Marlen Esparza, the American flyweight who was featured on FNF.

    There's also a lot of hype around Irish lightweight Katie Taylor.

    I think it definatly lends itself better to the ams where the lack of power isn't really much of a factor. Makes pro fights less exciting though.

    Taylor is supposed to be the female Lomachenko. Apparently she's so commited to her career she's never had a boyfriend
