Just seen Simpson vs Crighton is official for the July 1st card in Manchester.

Good under the radar fight.

Crighton's very active, when was that Wasserman card he fought Arthur on? Mid or late March? Hasn't he already fought again since? I do like the fight though, Simpson should win but won't be easy for him. Heffron-Chelli should be good as well.

Just checked and it was the 24th of March, he's also fought twice since then although admittedly one looked to be a knockover. Refreshing activity nonetheless, 4 fights in less than four months is rather impressive.

Yeah didn’t he fight like 3 times in 4 weeks. I thought he got robbed against Richie Woodall’s lad on the Polish card.

Another fight in the away corner for him here, but he’ll definitely give a good account of himself.

Three pretty solid fights on that card to be fair. Do you know how they'd done selling it, because you'd have to think they're going to get a kicking on refunds, might only be 5k there in a 20k arena.

No idea how many they’d already sold but I imagine around 90% if not more bought tickets solely for the main event.

British boxing really delivered last night.

Was at Wood-Lara so been catching up with everything this morning.

The atmosphere in Belfast looked incredible and Lopez-Conlan was fire while it lasted.

Great moment for CBS too, tough fight to watch though with Okolie’s constant grappling.

The Egg vs The Pig wasn’t the all out war I was hoping for too. Eggington was a level above.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Expect Wood vs Warrington later this year too.

Pigford looked very poor indeed. I think Eggington winning was predictable but Pigford made him look much better than he is.

Watched Ball, Conlan and CBS-Okolie. Guy Ball was fighting looked class early on, really long sharp jab, but he dropped off and was easy enough for Ball in the end. Conlan wasn’t great, thought he stayed in there too much. Pretty brutal KO. Lopez is quite fun to watch, if he fights Robeisy next you’d have to think he’ll likely lose though. CBS-Okolie was a mess. I thought CBS landed about 0 good shots before the great knockdown in the fourth that changed the fight, after that Okolie had an absolute mare. I thought he was going to turn the tide when he had that good round (8th or 9th?), but he had no chance really with all the points off. Some of his holding was ridiculous but that was expected tbf.

Probably doesn’t matter that it won’t be for a belt most likely. Reckon they do City Ground in an international break or something in September?

Based on the press conference, Wood will do whatever he must in order to get a City Ground fight. It wouldn't surprise me if he drops the title and agrees to another quick turn-around in September bout with Warrington. Let Ford fight Kholmatov for the title.
