It looks like another load of big punching tonight.

[dave.woodhall]

And a nice bit of controversy.

[dave.woodhall]

Josh Warington's annoying little band of Leeds supporters are being annoying again.

Dalton Smith managed to get a point deducted and still win a twelve rounder by fourteen rounds.

And tonight looks a cracking bill. Ramsey and Rashford in da house.

How did the 1 judge see Eggington winning every round…was massively close when stopped

[dave.woodhall]

I had Eggington by three or four but I'm biased. I did read that he'll have a face like Bonnie Blue's growler in the morning.

Haha!  When they showed his face at the end of his interview and he went ‘f**k me’ :-)

Now let’s see if Whittaker is a decent fighter or just a bit of a tosser :-)

Both.

Indeed, dismissed Cameron before Cameron joined in…good pounds per punch earnt

[dave.woodhall]

Then acted like a classless, arrogant gobshite, backed up by Andy Lee, which didn't surprise me, and Johnny Nelson, which did.

I love Johnny, but he does lean into the theatrical these days.

It was nonsense….was interesting interview style tho…’well done did you spit at the other corner’ was beautifully 2 footed but the dumbing down was clown like.  Don’t think he expected as the local lad to get booed :-)

Who's getting worked up for Saturday's megafight?
