Jurgen Braehmer has pulled out of the Super Series as he's ill so Smith will get a new opponent. I think Eubank Jr has been seen trying to get back in the competition by default...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Disappointing. A bit bizarre a fighter to call in sick at the last minute. You'd figure he's loaded with vitamins and in the sauna every day getting down to weight.
With Groves' injury and now this the super middleweights has turned into a bit of a mess. Oh well, as long as Groves can make June 2nd or that if they do postpone the final it's still over the summer. Smith vs. Groves has great potential.
Rungvisai is too big, too strong and just wants it more.
Went as I thought it might. Damn good fight, but this is Rungvisai's time.
Wilder Ortiz programme starts at 2am tomorrow night. What time are they scheduled to fight?
Probably around 4.
Thanks .
Hopefully be a good tear up tonight.
Routing for Dave Allen in his fight tonight, really down to earth guy.
Guys, does Rabchenko have a chance against Brook?
Also Wilder to win by decsion would that be a decent shout. Think its 4/1!

Unless Brooks injuries play a part then I'd say Brook should win this comfortably.
I think Wilder by KO personally, think he'll wear him down. I don't think Ortiz is that great.
Will only tell when he takes a punch. Fractured eye sockets are fractured eye sockets and no matter what Brook tells you it will play on his mind.
feck it. Im going for Rabchenko at 8/1. Worth a punt. A lot on the line for Brook tonight imo.
I wouldn’t put money on Rabchenko. Wilder decision at 4/1 is very good value though.
Wilder by a wide decision is my pick. He came in at 214 which is about 7-8 lbs less than usual. That points to stick and move strategy. Wilder has no chin. He's gonna protect that Joshua payday.
I haven't seen Rabchenko but my guess is that it's safe matchmaking to get Brook back in the W column.
Ah feck. Should have stuck with my guns. Went for Wilder KO/TKO Rounds 7-9.
And Rabchenko. Have a funny feeling Brooks eye sockets are fecked beyond repair.
KO between 7-9 is probably a good shout too.
To cover your bets bet on Yafai, Bivol and Kovalev tonight in the others. I'd say they are bankers. Bivol-Barrera is considered close but Bivol will dominate.
I have 10 pound accumulator 740/1. It all depends on Rabchenko. If he somehow wins, I'll get excited.
Have Rabchenko, Wilder, Bivol, Ortega and few more via different win methods. So it's more less a pipe dream but you just never know.
I have all them except Yafai.
@Inter Yer Nan how was the Superfly card live? How did you score the fight? That 9-3 card was ridiculous but the others fair I thought.
Estrada is such a beautiful technician, I think his ceiling is sky high. Hope they run it again at Superfly 3.

Brook injured one eye socket Vs Golovkin and, if I remember right, the other Vs Spence. Could just be bad luck that. Thing is if Brook brings his usual quality to the table then I think he'll make Rabchenko look amateurish. He can easily navigate this fight without getting hurt.

I'm rooting for you (well, I want Brook to win tbf) but at those odds but I wish you went for Brook. I could be horribly wrong with the injury but Rabchenko is a European level fighter. Suppose that's the fun in the bet but you could quite easily fall at the first hurdle.Stick another tenner on with a Brook win and an Ortiz upset, that's more likely imo.
I know. Brook Rabchenko is literally my first fight. So it will in essence be the first hurdle.
We will see though!It was a great show. Love these cards because you've got great fans, fighters taking risks. Great atmosphere too. I was impressed with Nietes and I was happy for Arroyo to get a great win. A good kid who's perhaps not had a well managed career.
In the arena I had Estrada up 115-113. I think I was more influenced by the fact he wasn't pushed to the ropes, landed cleaner headshots and that meant I didn't score Rungvisai's body work well. I've watched twice on TV and have it 114-114. Rounds 1, 2, 8, 9, 11 & 12 for Estrada with 2-7 and 11 for Rungvisai. 115-113 either way is fair. It was that close and given that my favorite style of boxing and technique is Estrada's (Marquez is my favorite ever and he's like him) I have a bias to that style slightly.
Estrada is a wonderful boxer and IMO will win a re-match but Rungvisai showed me some intelligence and ring smarts I didn't think he had. He's a MUCH better guy than he was a year ago. I think it's nailed on to be September 8th at the Forum in a re-match and my fecking luck I'm a groomsman at a wedding that day!!
So gutted for Dave Allen.
what time is brook expected?
Approx 10pm local time.
Can't catch a break can he? Hope the cuts not too bad
Froch has McDonnell 3-1 after 4, hmmm
Terrible luck. He seemed to be on the right track for this fight and looked in good shape. Have my doubts if he will have the same motivation for his next fight.
McDonnell is banging him man
anyone have a stream? It's not on TV over here and i cant find a stream.
Second round KO for Brook. Rabchenko absolutely knocked by a right uppercut.
Its already over
pointless fight, standard trash fighters that Kell's fought throughout his career, then steps up against anyone decent and loses.Helluva uppercut.
just had a look at his boxrec wins on the back of this because I thought there has to be someone he fought before GGG that was a big name, but you are right, it's a load of shite.
