Chris Evangelou down from a lovely bodyshot! Went down again straight after and I'm not sure he will of recovered.


Round 8 starting...

Danny Connor maybe on for his first stoppage win.

Balls stopped watching.

Surprised that either could put the other in trouble!

Haha I was thinking the same thing tbh then that bodyshot came out of nowhere.

Evangelou hasn't got the best fitness it seems.

[dan_cov]

Evangelou has started well in the 9th, hes got a bit of spring in his step and is boxing well.

Landing some nice counters.

Too his credit, hes dug deep and come back well. I gave him that round!


''Hes not going to stop me'' - Evangelou

''No but you are going to stop him!'' - His corner!

Commentators keep mentioning he had a bad struggle to make the weight. He was 6lbs over this morning I believe they said.

[dan_cov]

Evangelou finished strong but too little, too late.

Took him 8 rounds & 2 knockdowns to get going Fair play too him though that bodyshot he got dropped with would of probably finished a lot of guys.


Lee ''lights out'' Purdy vs Cosme Rivera is up next.
Purdy failed to make weight and lost his title on the scales!

Seemed to be a struggle all the way through.

He seems classy put didn't have near enough pop to keep Connor honest or put as much in as Connor.

Rivera down in the first, counter left hook high on the head.

EL CHINO always comes to fight. I will stay tunned!

Old Mexican veteran Cosme Rivera is on, he fights Lee Purdy, that should be a good fight.

Also George Groves, Darren Barker (probably best known for his fight with Sergio) also a middleweight prospect called John Ryder - He looks quite good.

[Sparked_26]

He is exciting Purdy.

They do need to make that Jones fight!
