  • Clarke looked pretty good but at 31 they’re going to have to move him pretty quick. Maybe he can have a Joe Joyce-ish run, best case scenario.

  • Hill just had a sensational comeback KO, but I will not be surprised if he collapses in the dressing room. Definite signs of a brain bleed. I sure hope they keep a eye on him.

  • Just watching Okolie and Cieslak , Okolie has 2 skills, the right hand and holding. Horrible fight!

  • If you did not see the fight….Gill vs Guerfi is a must see….Old saying ..timing beats speed..,Gill …in this fight ….showed everything about a true fighter…prepared…will to win….not quitting…. A must see fight,., definitely entertaining…hope both are ok
