Thought Uysk struggled at first with the southpaw stance of his opponent. Wasn't spinning off and taking away the angle until about round four. Wasn't finding it as easy to land as he has in the past. Punching down ok such a short opponent didn't help.

Boy looked decent enough opponent though- sharp hands and some decent counters.

Uysk stepped it up though from 4 onward. Uysk has got excellent footwork and I love the way him and lomachenko pivot to the opponents blind side and take away the target. But he's not perfect. There are times I think he comes forward throwing combinations where he puts too much weight on the front foot and is momentarily there to be hit- don't know who in this division would be good enough to capitalise on it though.

Frampton v Santa Cruz to be live on sky sports.

Not complaining but amazed this is not on box office given the shite the have had on pay per view recently

The fight is in Vegas, absolutely no chance they'd get away with charging for a fight that realistically isn't starting until 4:30am at the earliest. Same reason that Ward v Kov was just SS and not PPV. Had the fight been in Belfast it would have been PPV for sure.

Fast Eddie and Stubhub getting some amount of grief for the fucking shambles they made of selling Klitschko v Joshua tickets yesterday. Having tried to get some myself I can confirm it was an utter mess. Stubhub is probably the worst website on the internet.

Makes perfect sense to me. Gives Parker a fairly straight forward, but on paper potentially awkward looking, first defence against someone who's going to be keen for the opportunity, whilst also building his name up over here for a future fight with Joshua. If Captain Humble beats Wlad, it's a big unification fight, while if he loses to Wlad, it's a chance to regain a world title, which either way, provides a big money fight money which will appeal to both.

What happened with the tickets? I wouldn't buy tickets for a mathroon show. The link up with stub hub is absolutely immoral.
