Good fight, hard to call a winner. Possibly all down to the final minute!

I think the Mexican won for what it's worth

Mexican looked just that bit better.

Yeah, Burnett and Spike talking a bit of shite on commentary. 96-92 means that judge gave the 9 rounds without a knockdown 5-4 to Uruzquieta. Don't think Moylette can feel too hard done by that.

No, you absolutely do not have to pick a winner. Judges not having the balls to call rounds draws is half the problem.

In practice, for world title fights with any of the 4 major organsiations, you do have to pick a winner. Judges are under instruction to do so. 10-10s happen, but in less than 1% of rounds scored.

Jono Carroll was lucky with his draw verdict last night

Watched a repeat of the Lomanchenko fight at the weekend. What an operator. That flurry of headshots in Rd 11 was relentless. Great scrap

He is in the top 2 best I have ever seen. The other being RJJ.

He's scarily good. 13 Pro Fights and Arum has stated that he's only looking challenges going forward

Fielding 8/1 v Alvarez 1/14 tonight.

I'm guessing the bookies think defending Champion Fielding's natural weight, reach and height advantages are not gonna matter a shite.

Live on Sky.

Hard to see him troubling Canelo in all honesty. Genuinely didn't know Katie was on the card until I just read it on rte.ie, wonder what kind of purse she makes at this stage?

Surely Big Rocky hasn't a chance when we've see how quick Callum Smith got him out.........

Any Idea of ring walk time?

Boycey · December 15, 2018, 09:29:15 PM

Irish media saying Katie due in ring at 11.30ish and it looks to me like there are 4 or 5 fights between her and the main event so I'm guessing 3.30 to 4am?
