Good breakdown of how he sees the fight going. I slightly favour Leigh Wood on points. Should be a really good fight.

I won’t be watching it live as it’s on DAZN. But I plan on watching what I can find on YouTube on Sunday morning.

Yeah - me too....... I haven't gone for DAZN yet - so many of these channels come and go...... maybe thats a bit cynical or flaky, but I am going to wait and see if it endures lol.

I first subscribed to DAZN nearly 3 years ago - it started off at £1.99 which was always too cheap. I cancelled it for a while but restarted again at £100 for the year. 

I’ll be watching tomorrow but will miss some of the undercard.

I've been tempted a couple of times.....in your experience has that been good value Steve?

If you don’t mind listening to the fight on the radio it’s on BBC Radio 5 Live, coverage starts at 10:20pm:

Thanks @duotone I am baby sitting at my mates. I don't know whether to avoid the result altogether and watch it tomorrow or listen to it live.......

Or what I probably will end up doing is being unable to resist watching the highlights on YouTube later on this evening in which case I'll get none of the benefits of either of the above options......

There are radio stations on the tv in this house..... and I've never listened to a fight live on the radio before.....

are you watching @duotone? Hows the undercard?

I listened to some of it on the radio & fell asleep. Woke up with BBC Radio 5 Live still playing around 2am!

Here are the full card highlights:

Thanks - I've tried to catch up..... I didn't see that result coming.... I thought Warrington on points and in fairness it looked like it was going that way for a while. 

Will have a look art the undercard - appreciate it.

Who's got the boxing on?

I reckon if Walid Sharks would have been a 6 round fight he'd have had a chance, great fight.

Iamnobody

Is this the Youtuber Misfit's nonsense? I can’t bring myself to watch it.

Currently watching fight zone TV and a fiery little scrap for a southern area welterweight title between Inder Bassi and Sadiq Khan. India v Pakistan.

Yeah that's the one, I'm quite enjoying it not being a big boxing fan I am finding it entertaining. 

Iamnobody

I guess it divides opinion - a bit like relics!

Imagine your brother is one of the best boxers ever, and you’re dancing down to the ring in your dressing gown about to fight a drinks salesman who does reaction videos on YouTube.

DrCornelius

Hope it’s better than the previous ‘fight’. They should withhold that Danis blokes purse - what a disgrace of a performance 

DefaultM

That guy is a loser. What did he do?

BigBearKris

Danis is a clown. 

He lives in the Internet and I'm actually shocked that he even made it inside the ring this time and didn't pull out for some (yet another) reason. 

I really hope it's the end of him appearing in any kind of fighting conversations.

DrCornelius

Another disappointment but at least Fury won and was trying to box . Ksi just threw fast right hands and then grabbed the whole fight . He should have lost a point for continually holding

It's very sad that a fight based on hype and manufactured  grudges sells out faster than fights based on genuine skill... wonder how long it will be before these are as scripted as wwe
