Only fight that interested me was the main. Pimblett is his own worst enemy - chin up, hands down. He fought a really bad fight and I doubt he will learn. That’s his ceiling - losing decisively to a fading contender. I didn’t pick up on it when I watched it but I rewatched the first round after Pimblett said he was hurt by a solar plexus shot - it was a right uppercut that grazed the solar plexus and he was clearly badly hurt by it.

Assuming he comes back the same fighter he was the last time we saw him, Topuria puts Justin to sleep with ease.

Great opening and closing fights on the main card. The three middle ones not so much. Relatively good debut on Paramount. Looking forward to next weekend.

Lotta early stoppages on this card it seems.

I like Paddy but this is the truth.
