    Yeah, I really blew it. Instead of stepping away at the start of the main telecast, and missing the KTFO 1 in the Flores fight, I could of waited til this interminable delay.

    That was the best fight on the telecast, in terms of at least having an exciting finish.

    Just got home.

    Everytime Bradley uses a cliche like "It only takes one punch" because real commentary is dfficult for him, I'm going take a shot of whiskey.

    Hope to be here with you all when Janinek fights.

    I love Astrolobia's gloves, red and white and blue, looks good, they trade jabs to the gloves, glancing as they dispute ring centre. Moloney is going to hold the line by the looks. I'm most interested to see if Astrolobia will chance the right uppercut, and if he does, if Moloney can counter that shot (I think he looks primed to do so). Moloney scores the best punch of the round with the 2 in a one-two, that's exactly teh sort of fight that Astrolobia needs to avoid - rounds being decided by one shot is anathema to him - oo, nice uppercut, Astrolobia lands it twice! This round absolutely up for grabs, Astrolobia clubs his way to the first session with short right hands, hooky looking rights, in a close, good first.

    Astrolobia:1,
    Moloney:

    The Sims fight on the Rolly undercard was an absolute banger.

    It is a fascinating balance this - Astrolobia need to make it FOTY, Moloney looks like he has enough on that jab to keep him off. But the economy of this fight plan is stark - will Moloney still be moving this way in round nine? He jabs his way to the first and second minute of the round, regardless, Astrolobia's best punch a slapping right to the body, though he establishes that right uppercut again in the final minute to make the round close once again! There is the bones of a really good fight here.


    Astrolobia:1,
    Moloney:2,

    I like Moloney's parry of the Astrolobia left. This gives Astrolobia a neat problem to solve. He gets jabbed back on his heels twice early, Moloney clearly gaining in confidence on that shot. Astrolobia countering well to the body in the third though, it's difficult this because he is tending to land the hardest punches of the round versus Moloney's edge in volume. Astrolobia just isn't doing quite enough now for me, though,but the third was really, really close. Last minute made it knife-edge. Astrolabia needs to get here, but earlier.

    Astrolobia:1,
    Moloney:2,3,
