Card about to start

First fight at 175, the Doc, 11-1 John Docherty vs 4-1 Jordan Grant

[BigZ44]

2nd rd KO of Grant by the Doc, a guy that went the distance with Tommy Fury...

What a finish by The Doc!

I think Doc needs one fight around area level on his way back up, someone like Ryan Aston or Mickey Ellison and then step back up to British level after that

Real good performance by The Doc!
