Cool. I can squeeze in a power nap before the main event.

decent i suppose, coulda had better match ups

It is disappointing with all that Saudi money they could not get better / more exciting opponents for Shakur and Opetaia. At least Opetaia had a real fight last time out, but what about Shakur? Calling out all the big names and then ends up with this lame fight? That will be third in a row. I think I will be watching the main event only.

5th in a row for real

What I liked about the other Saudi cards was the number of competitive fights that were hard to predict. But this undercard is just a bunch of overwhelming favourites vs safe opponents.

Harutyunyan was already considered a step back by many, this is just another step backwards again.

He's fighting a guy who was just knocked out by Cacace!! Why isn't he at least fighting Cacace? just need to have Cacase put on a few pounds and make it a non-title fight. Not liking how Stevenson is fighting two guys in a row that lost their last fight.

If Shakur can't get a KO win with a limited light punching opponent as this one on a grand stage, then he truly deserves wherever he finds himself which would be same spot and unable to secure any meaningful fight. Turki is not going to reward a boring safe fight.

People can say what they want but at least Davis in his last 6 fights has fought opponents with combined record of something like 122-0.

I see a lack of confidence. Its not so much they think Shakur will lose, they are afraid he will stink. How is it they can't find decent comp, but can always find a cream puff? They won't put Shakur in deep, but poor Cordina can drown. And Shakur thinks he has it hard.

Watch the Fraser Clarke vs Wardley fight too. The first one was like Rock-Em-Sock-Em Robots. Definitely worth a watch.
