Chris Billam-Smith grinds win over Lawrence Okolie in torrid, rugged affair
Chris Billiam-Smith gets the decision win over Lawrence Okolie, in what was a torrid and rugged affair; involving a lot of clinching from Okolie, in an attempt to stifle the work of Billam-Smith.

Luis Alberta Lopez destroys Michael Conlan
Luis Alberta Lopez destroys Michael Conlan, by landing a single right-uppercut that Michael Conlan had ducked into, likely anticipating that a hook was going to be thrown; this increased the momentum in the punch. Conlan was clearly the tidier boxer; however, he was also struggling with the physicality and punch-power of Lopez, who was lunging […]
Nick Ball delivers devastating stoppage win over Ludumo Lamati
Firstly; I would like to say that my thoughts go to Ludumo Lamati, who had collapsed after this match. Nick Ball delivers a devastating stoppage win over Ludumo Lamati in the 12th round.

Lawrence Okolie vs Chris Billam-Smith – My Prediction
I think Lawrence Okolie vs Chris Billam-Smith will be a rugged and rough affair; I won’t be expecting the sweet-science in the purest sense. Okolie will be using his physicality to try and control Billam-Smiths offence and prevent his assaults whilst trying to land heavy power-shots. Okolie is more tested, but is known for having […]
My Prediction for Mauricia Lara vs Leigh Wood 2
