Usyk not going well here at all. I think he may have 2-3 rounds won but heās definitely behind

The big lad might be on PEDs heās not slowing down
Little better from Usyk there but itās still a reach to give him the round
Usyk is gonna lose here ladsā¦ heās gonna need a knockout and will need to take a risk
That was close but the big house have made a call. Round should have been left run.
Thatās a strange stoppage. He looked gone in fairness
Lucky boy usyk
He did but was still on his feet with one second left. They knew if it went to decision Usyk was fucked
If he got a proper breather and went proper defensive who knows
That was disgraceful from the ref.

Usyk probably would have stopped him in the 12th but he deserved the chance

Thatās not going to sell well
Looks like KayTee Taylor is getting the Croke Park finale she demanded
Unless tickets sell poorly and she has to withdraw with a throat infection 2 weeks beforehand

Is the government under-writing it?
Unless theres a big name on the undercard and tickets are 20 euro i cant see her selling 80k tickets
Surely wont sell more than 20 thousand? Still cant see it happening.

Theyād really want to be careful here or this will flop big time. Sensibly priced to maximise a crowd with a decent undercard will draw a crowd. Rightly or wrongly Katie has been semi retired for a while now and its not going to be Serrano.
No way should any organisation be stepping in to fund Eddie Hearn and his back pocket though

Iām trying to figure who they have as the big star to help shift the tickets with Katie. I like Katie, I might go anyway tbh but Itāll be interesting.
Fury and AJ in warm up fights before their own fight in December or January?
I think the Eubank Circus would draw attention, would it shift tickets? Eubank v Canelo in Croke Park with Katie Taylor in her final fight co-main would be really good.
Usyk in Croke Park against Kabayel (He has to drop the belts if he doesnāt fight him).
Paddy Donovan is talented but donāt think he is a ticket seller. Iād definitely try and get Michael Conlan back for one more fight if he was game for it, he would put heads on the gate.
Canelo is looking for stuff to do so I hope itās him. Thereās a few good young Irish fighters around the middle weights but youād need a few stars too. Pearce OāLeary against Errol Spence or someone like that, a top American on the slide looking for stuff to do.
Anthony Cacace against a crack Mexican maybe.
Bivol v Berbetiev are supposed to fight again but thatāll hardly sell here.
OāLeary has a fight in Dublin the month before.
Donovan would draw a crowd but not as main undercard obviously.
There was a time Conlan would have sold a lot at one point, that last Belfast fight was a complete disaster with tickets and in the ring.
This has dragged out so long I think they are just pressing the button now and hoping for the best. Bad feeling it wonāt end well unfortunately and the timing just never worked out for it.

Donovan should draw a crowd on ability. He brought a good few to Belfast iirc. BJS v Andy Lee didnāt sell well which is why they pulled it from Thomond I heard. BJS fights outside of Eubank have never sold well though.
