TEST..new posts are appearing behind old ones for some reason. 8:50 pm here

Weird. Anyway.. really want to see Chris pull this off. Should be some fire works!

This isn't on any of the channels. I get, so I'm not watching... Seen the Facebook highlights though.. Didn't realise Steven's had gone Down in weight for this, that'll be him retiring then.

I like Arreola but I hope the pole wins, Arreola has had his time and is only going to get splatted v the top guys now. The pole is a hard worker and not rubbish.

Let's hope this one post gets through. I had written another one and it never made it. Anyway..... watched some of the Pascal-Browne fight and it ended badly for Browne. He had won every other round except the ones he was knocked down in..... one of them twice..... and ended up losing a technical decision after an accidental headbutt opened a new eye above his left one (ouch).

Arreola-Kownacki (how do announcers get an "s" sound out of Kownacki?) was a slugfest. Kudos to Chris for hanging in there after hurting his left hand midway through the fight. Kownacki looked good, but maybe less so than in the past..... or should I say more vulnerable. He's certainly there to be hit, and I don't know how he'd stand up to the bombs of a Deontay Wilder. One fight that would be super interesting to watch would be Kownacki-Ruiz. Two fat boys with no reverse gear and good power.

Well... better stop writing in case I get told that I need to wait 3,582 seconds before making my next post.

Yeah forum is dysfunctional tonight, weird. I liked the card though, wouldnt have called any of those fights properly, with Pascal winning being the only real upset of course, didnt think he had much chance, but again showed hes always very good in short bursts. Browne didnt win the rounds he did by a lot, and the knockdowns were dramatic, the head clash clearly a mutual thing, so no problem with that call, good for Pascal. Stevens didnt react well to punches at all, not that he ever did, did well to even make a fight it out of it for a bit after the knockdowns and glad the ref had a read on him and didnt let it end ugly. Disagree completely that Kownacki was remotely impressive or that he and Ruiz would be a good fight though, Andy beats the piss out of him imo. Arreola had little besides guts and hurt his hand, but still thought he made it a lot closer than the cards suggested. kownacki fights the way a guy who looks like that generally would, hes just average.

On a side note, it was interesting to see how happily Wilder took to the microphone last night for the fight telecast.

One funny moment was when Kenny Albert was attempting to interview Gervonta Davis between fights, with Wilder standing on the other side. All of sudden Wilder starts interviewing Gervonta solo, and Kenny's look of surprise was priceless.... as he was unable to get in a word edgewise until at the end, where he was finally able to wrap up the interview.

You gotta wonder if Wilder has a future behind the mic after boxing.

Yeh Kownacki did ok with coming forward and showing some pop but I was a bit more surprised to how well Arreola actually listened and tried to implement the instructions of Goosen. I don't think he won at all but he worked to keep it short inside and obviously worked on defense coming in. Kownacki from here is any ones guess and takes some of the shine off with 'moral' victory for Arreola but other than power in both hands and a decent engine for a guy built like a living breathing Shmoo I can't see him going that far. Right now I think both Ruiz and Wilder get it done against him.

Kownacki isn’t that impressive. He isn’t ready for the top guys in the division. Arreola fought bravely, but he just doesn’t have it anymore. He never really had much of it in the first place.

Apparently it broke the record for the most HW punches thrown in a fight. Didn't Tua v Ibeabuchi hold the record? Someone correct my lazy ass.

Impressive output for his physique

It was an impressive output, but neither guy looked like they were throwing bombs.
