Great fight in Japan, Yabuki - Ayala. Another fight of the year candidate after Teraji - Yuri Akui. Small weights from Japan always produce a few of those every year.
 
I was quite impressed with Pat Brown’s debut; he looks heavy handed and will be difficult to match given his obvious quality.

Yeah same. Got hit a little too much but I'm sure that'll tighten up as he moves through the levels, but heavy hands like you say and good shot selection.

I didn't realise he was 6'6" as well, can't believe looking at him that he's a cruiserweight. I would have guessed looking at him he was 230lbs+. Seems like a move to HW will be inevitable at some stage.

I can see him fighting for the British title quite early; I reckon there will probably be some name domestic cruisers on the slide by the time he’s had 8-10 fights.

I didn’t realise he’s that tall either.
 
Decent card. Just dished out a cheeky right hand to the dog on the way up to the toilet. Flew right over the banister he did.

Can't beat Saturday fight night.
 
Jaemie TKV has to have a case for a no contest there - he called break twice and had a hold of his left hand.

Who the hell is advisingJoe Joyce to carry on - pushing 40 and can’t get out the way of anything. Weird to think he’s beat Dubois and Parker.
 
Decent fight coming up on Sky with the rematch between Ben Whitaker and Liam Cameron. Unusual for a Sunday night but could be a good in after the clisterfeck last time
 
Showed his class but also showed his true character and gained a lot more haters than he already had (booed in front of your home crowd - wow). I guess in boxing, it could be a good thing when many are invested in your downfall
 
I like Ben one of my criticisms before the whole Liam fight was that he was playing around in the ring too much. Boxing is a dangerous sport and the more you increase in competition the higher the intensity from opponents. So his entire debacle with Cameron will be good for his career and his own interpersonal development.

I thought the refs stoppage was slightly premature but the fact Cameron didn't complain likely indicated he was concussed / heavily dazed. Heard many professional fighters state that the overhand right is the most dangerous shot because it takes your equilibrium instantaneously. Think Ruiz caught Joshua with that same punch which ruined him in seconds for the entire fight.

Still has a long way to go, Whittaker has a massive frame for light heavy so he will have to move to cruiser eventually. Difficult difficult fights between Opetaia and Ramirez, way too soon for him but I'd imagine his team / Shalom would eye Badou Jack when he eventually moves beyond domestic level opponents.
