Planning on heading out for a stint in the bush with my 2 hellions. Its just past 6:30. You guys are about 8 hours ahead so that puts the card starting at about 2 this afternoon. Because I must watch using a fast paced waterway I'm going to assume they will only show from about Rose to Gavin.

I want and would prefer Rees to win, even if I do think he should of retired after Broner.

Nothing left for him except backwards steps.

Few Early results:

Camacho in 2
Evans on points
Stalker in 1
Ochieng points

So, Brian Rose's opponent is nicknamed 'The Fish'? Is this because he's always slippery on the scales? Or does he have a great hook?

The Fish looks a bit flabby around the mid rift. Dont think he is going to upset Rose but hes here to fight. Much better then the usual tin cans Eddie has his men fight

Good 4th Round for Ribchev. 3-1 to Rose after 4

Adam Smith starts off telling everyone Rose is not a puncher (rightly) then three rounds in starts wondering if Rose is purposely trying to go rounds

Through 6 and I have it 4-2 to Rose. Ribchev is piling on the pressure. He walked onto a very good right hook in that round but took it very well.

yeah if the fish was the house fighter he'd probably win this

Yea Rose is landing the better shots but Ribchev is throwing more and has landed a few. I have no doubt Rose will win it but doesnt look a world beater at all.

Last round. I have Rose 6-3 up. Decent scrap. Ribchev came to fight.

Rose just seemed to switch off through the middle rounds. He looked great at the end of the ninth when he was unloading, but I'm not sure if its his concentration or fitness, he just didn't seem to throw much when Ribchev came on in 5-8

Yea definitely. You can include the 4th round in your statement too.
