You know - the closer it gets the less I want to watch it.

JP gonna bulldoze this guy.........

Of coarse he is, this is why I think JP struggles in the bigger fights. You can't go from fighting the likes of Flores to thinking you can jump back in with real fighters. It looks like, sadly they're making the same mistake with Fa. The blown up cruiserweight he's in with hasn't even fought in 14 months.... Where do they even find these guys? Surely they're on holiday in NZ and a 'match maker' happens to stumble across them in a bar on Queen Street.

Good undercard fights so far. After two losses, Parker HAS to fight a Flores type. Win this, and he fights a top ten guy next. Win that, and he fights an eliminator to fight either AJ/Wilder/Fury. Win that, and ...

Fa hasn't really fought anyone yet. He needs to make sure he's ok medically. If he looks good tonite, he fights a top ten guy.

You called it craig. Too easy. Now that we can tick off Fa's health concerns, onto a top ten fighter.

Fa looked good against a trash opponent. That young guy who beat up Adrian Taihia was the fight of the night so far

Can Flores contest that decision? He was clearly hit low before the first knockdown, and never recovered.

Sounds like a fairly woeful fight

What really was the point? Browne or Whyte rematch next - we hope
