    Good show so far on Sky.

    Scrappy but entertaining cruiser fight ended in a fair draw.

    Charlie Edwards in a very impressive, yet entertaining 3 round fight.

    Some good matchups to come too.

    I enjoyed that fight.

    Two good honest fighters going hard for 12 rounds.

    Ritson v Hyland Jr. coming up - I can't see this being anything other than entertaining for however long it lasts.

    One round, but it was great stuff!

    Ritson is sooo strong. Somebody mentioned beforehand that he reminded them of Scott Harrison and I'd have to agree.

    Still think Kelly is all style, little substance. Going to get found out moving up the levels.

    In fairness, he's only had seven fights.

    Plenty to improve on, but he has a lot of ability.

    I just don't see it with him at all. Hands down by his side, going back in straight lines, awfully clumsy combinations thrown from way out of range, getting caught over and over. He has the perfect recipe to get sparked once he faces a puncher. There's a lot of hype stemming from a view flashy KO's against binmen.

    If Booth makes him a world champ at 147 it'll be his greatest achievement to date by a mile.

    Big credit for the Brook fight but yea it’s time to take on the top fighters now. I thought he allowed quite a few body shots to hit him last night but he’s got great accuracy

    The crowd went extremely flat after the Ritson fight, Eddie should have had him headline but Kelly (I am a fan of him) is the Olympic golden child.

    reminded me in a way of the Tommy Coyle Luke Campbell double act when Campbell was starting out, Coyle was selling more tickets and putting on more entertaining fights (Derry Matthews for one) and because Campbell was the Olympic hero he got top billing.
