    I fear for Thaxton tonight.

    He didn't look all that last time and by accounts Romanov is favourite due to his speed. Although strangely, he's not been out of Eastern Europe that much....

    Looking forward to it and I hope Thaxton does it.

    As for the Khan fight? Yawn - not arsed at all, typical Warren bullshit. One sided shite - feeding the press - the general public - utter bullshit (this opponent is really dangerous, this is a big challenge to Amir etc etc.).... utter shite

    I'm more interested in the Derry Matthews fight tomorrow.

    I think Jon will lose tonight but I really hope he wins. I like him. Very honest and a great little fighter. All heart and a good punch.

    Khan should beat Kristjansen without issue. If there is an impressive victory for either Romanov or Thaxton tonight, you'll not see them in the ring with Khan.

    OK guys, sorry for showing up late...I was distracted by beer and birds down the pub. Anyhow, the ringwalks are just completing, and looks like a decent audience at the York Hall, with Jono looking focussed, and Romanov equally on business tonight. BRB, after the announcements and a quick pee.

    Once this one's finished I'll post some unless someone else gets there first.

    Round 2:

    Ref gives them both a talking too, not sure what about mind. Thaxton jabs, and ducks a hook. Thaxton looks the more muscular. Thaxton blocks a couple of Romanov shots. Thaxton with a jab, ducks Romanov then lands to the body. Right hook shoves Romanov's glove intgo his own face. Romanov plants and sends a right hook in, then a left to the body. Seems to hit hard. Uppercut from Thaxton, better round for him so far. Romanov finding the guard, then a left hook. Left hook, and Thaxton is caught. A few more hooks, and Thaxton has to move away. Looked a little open there. Romanov misess a right hook, then caught. Jab from thaxton.

    Despite the good Romanov flurry, Thaxton's workrate ties it up.
    19-19

    Round 3:

    So far, it looks like Romanov is the bigger hitter. Thaxton puts in a good left hook. Jab too. Thaxton caught with a swift jab, then has a left bocked by gloves. Thaxton is throwing a fair bit, but missing. Decent right hook lands though. Thacxton with a jab hook, then a straight left, countered by a right. Romanov with three accurate hard shots. Romanov then caught by a left hook. Romanov looks the more confident, and by sheer volume Thaxton is doing fairly well. Romanov with accurate three shots too. Body shot from Thaxton, then a hook caught on the guard. Romanov looks the quality fighter, but for now, I don't see him doing enough.

    Thaxton might have edged it, but the accuracy keeps it level for Romanov.

    29-29

    Round 4:

    Thaxton knows he's got a big task ahad. Body shot from Thaxton. Romanov lands a straight right, and Romanov moving forward know. Jab from Thaxton, then a clinch. Two body shots, then Thaxton narrowly dodges a right. Romanov with a left hook then a right. Thaxton cut by a good left hand, then a fine right hand. Thaxton throws the left, and now he's looking bad with eye and nose damage. Romanov with some good firm shots, not losing composure and charging in now Thaxton's cut. Good hard right catches Thaxton flush, and Thaxton is being made to look very crude here. Romanov lands another straight right. Thaxton needs the bingo punch, but a hard left hand doesn't shift Romanov. This guy is very good.

    39-38 Romanov, but the gulf in class is starting to show now.

    Round 1:

    Thaxton raring to go there. Thaxton immediately looking ot bridge the gap, but falls short and gets countered by Romanov. Short hooks from Romanov. Good jab from Thaxton. He needs to calm down. Thaxton with a body shot. Thaxton blocking well.Left hook from Thacton, but returned with interest. Romanov landing some sweet shots there, Thaxton needs to defend more and get his head behind his gloves. Left hook then an uppercut from Romanov. Body shot from thaxton, then a right straight, but gets clipped with a counter too. Right hook sends Thaxton stumbling. Romanov seems to be the calm composed one, despite being 8 years the younger.

    10-9 Romanov
