This is supposedly starting soon (about three hours from now) in the CR.
Does anybody expect the European 154lb title to change hands?
Also, is Germany Sport1 showing undercard (incl. the ladies' WBO/WBF 160lb title bout) or just the main event?
Meh,as long as it's not result changing don't wanna mke a fuss about it.
Tell me IB will you be watching the ESPN card with Heavies?Arreola and Thompson should be tune-ups?
Yeah. Both mismatches IMO (although Harris is one of those "better than his record" types).
Thompson is a 2/11 betting favorite in his match...Arreola is 1/100 against Releford.
Maybe if they both end in quick knockouts ESPN will show us some undercard as filler. There are a couple of undefeated prospects they could exhibit.

WTF was Anssi Perajoki watching?
The tenth was the only round that was even close.
...and he's a former pro boxer himself!!! Isn't the logic always that ex-boxers would make better judges?
Konecny scoops up three little girls (his?) in his arms in a giant bear hug before the decision is read.
119-109
117-111
118-110
all for LK, obviously.
the Hall fight was great. Who promotes him? I assume it's some small Czech firm?
The small German company SES promotes him for ages.
Doubt he will be signed by anybody else now,he's like 32,33.
Yeah, that tenth round to Bayram on my card was really more a pity round than anything...although it was definitely the closest and where he was most effective (and Lukas his least effective).
A shutout is as good a score as 119-109 IMO.
It will be absolutely shocking if a judge has it any closer than that.
Konecny still doing his thing.Should send the tape of the fight to promoters.
11-0 LK.

Konecny using more miovement this round.2 left hooks get Bayram's atenttion more so than other punches in the fight.Hussen looks just as gunshy in the end as he was in the beggining.
Complete domination Konecny,120-108.
Round 12
One more touch of gloves. Bayram starts to hook to the body, trying to give Konecny a taste of his own medicine. Konecny just moves out of the pocket and then starts to slip jabs with his hands low, showing off a little. Hard up-jab by Konecny to nail his way inside and then some more of those clipping hooks to the middle of Bayram's beanpole. Konecny is landing hard hooking combos and dodging punches without his signature guard up now, just keeping his left hand at his hip and rolling away from Bayram's counter jabs on the inside. Leaping left hook by Konecny!!! Bayram staggered! Konecny might be gearing up for the grand finale. Constant pressure. Hard shots! Bayram shakes them off, and gets off the ropes as Konecny backs off to reload his power. Another hard hook lands, to the body. Leaping jab to the eye by Konecny. Bayram tries an uppercut but is totally gassed and misses badly. Konecny hooks away at him with lefts and rights as Bayram ducks forward and takes them on the sides of his breastbones.
No KO.
119-109 Konecny
Round 11
Bayram has lost his mojo, pawing ineffectively with his jab and right now. Konecny rapidly circles him like a shark, ducking and weaving without getting touched. Hard jab by Konecny pushes the front of Bayram's chin into his chest. Chopping tomahawk jabs by Konecny on the inside now, pulling the left straight back into his guard and not allowing Bayram any offense. Konecny is just flashing hard underhand hook combos at him and remaining unscathed while right in front of him. Bayram is discouraged and not even bothering to throw much. A couple of jabs and rights from Bayram predictably float through the air over Konecny's back. Konecny lures Bayram to the ropes, backing up and blocking. Konecny drops his hands and walks in a wide circle around Bayram, looking bored. Now a hard hook stepping in. Clinch (Bayram with Konecny in a headlock).
10-9 Konecny
109-100 Konecny
Konecny with a cut in between his eyes.Closer round as Konecny works in bigger spots but I still give it to him.
The interesting thing will be to see if the judges find a round to give Nayram.
Me I have it 100-90 LK.
Round 10
They touch gloves (Bayram reluctantly, and with his back half turned to his opponent).
Bayram throws a hard 1-2, then another, and lands a left hook to the body. OOH, right hand to the face by Bayram - maybe the first time he's landed cleanly with it. Bayram seems to be making his last (well, first) stand. Lots of jabs from Bayram, stiffer than his usual patter. Konecny continues to defend well, ducking and blocking. Konecny leans in and shoves Bayram back across the ring. Bayram lands a jab/uppercut above and below the guard. Now Bayram crooks his right elbow and throws some scimitar overhands. They crash into the back of Konecny's neck. Konecny gets up close and finds his hard left hook, getting Bayram to shrimp up a bit in retreat. Hooking combo by Konecny now, putting Bayram on the ropes. Bayram resumes jabbing and stands his ground.
Eh, I'll give Hussein that one.
99-91 Konecny
Round 9
Konecny is getting low, ducking below Bayram's waist and well out of the atmosphere of his lazy jab. Bayram is back to attempts at a big right hand, with and without the jab in front of it, but is again only hurt by this tactic as Konecny has more and more target available for his hooking combos. Konecny landing plenty, mostly to the body. Bayram is actually throwing his right hand hard, but just getting glove with it. Konecny drives him into a corner with a hard volley.
90-81 Konecny
Round 8
Bayram jabs like he's playfully snapping a towel at someone in the gymnasium locker room. That isn't going to keep Konecny off of him - and doesn't. Konecny is very patient and wasting no energy, but still out-punching Bayram by a good margin with his quick hooks up close. Konecny lands one pair to the sternum and to the left flank before Bayram can even start to throw a lazy jab (easily ducked on the way out). Konecny is putting together longer combinations now. Bayram almost gets caught with a sleep-inducing left hook to the jaw, that nearly pulls Konecny around like a strong wind through a weathervane.
80-72
This is as economical a beatdown as I've seen handed out recently.
