Tickets are $7 right now. I decided not to go, but I feel like they are gonna let a bunch of drunk Irish guys in for free to fill up the seats lol

 

[Queen B]

I just heard Felix Verdejo just got TKO'd.

Welp, thats the end for him

 

[Queen B]

We are live. Is anyboby watching?


Gvozdyk is coming up

 

[Graves The Elder]

Tessitore is back!
all is well.
some good bouts here.

 

[Queen B]

Love the way Gvoz punches. Throws volume to place an opponent where he wants/

 

[Graves The Elder]

The Nail

 

[Queen B]

Gvoz taking big shots though. He needs to be careful

 

[Graves The Elder]

good recovery by Amar though.
going inside is paying off

 

[BillytheFish]

Both seem to be needlessly taking shots

 

[Queen B]

Gvozdyk reminds me of Usyk in a lot of ways

 

[ArtemV]

Gvozdyk isn't looking great. I would have thought Amar to be knocked out by now . Amar is hitting him too. I think Bivol would handle Gvozdyk quite easily.

 

[Graves The Elder]

agreed.
if Amar goes the distance, there's a chance he out points him for a split decision victory.

 

[Queen B]

This Amar guy got a tricky rhythym

 

[Queen B]

Amar saying its a low blow when his trunks are near his nipples

 

[Graves The Elder]

gvosdyk needs to step it up here in the closing rounds.
but far from the dominating performance I would have expected.

 

[ArtemV]

Gvozdyk would be so much better now if he were working the body.

 

[Queen B]

Gvozdyk got rocked bad in the last round.

Unimpressive performance

 

[ArtemV]

A wide UD victory for Gvozdyk imo. He didn't look great, but hopefully he will learn from this.
