Parkers just said they'll be a re match .. why ?? he beat him fair and square , all these rematches do my head in

Uysk and Fury should fight for the undisputed as belt holders then the winner should face Parker i think or possibly Hgrovic as the mandatory in the IBF or is it IBO cant remember , all these re matches are a joke , if its a draw then fine i understand but for instance Parker beat Zhang hands down , simple as , no need for a rematch tbh

Aye , cant stand any of em tbh , mind you all promoters are w*nkers if you ask me lol

Joe Joyce v Kash Ali
The Juggernaut returns ! Joe Joyce (17 Fights - 15 Wins (14 KOs) - 2 Losses) hasnt been seen since his two losses to The Big Bang , Zhilei Zhang , with the second encounter being a particularly brutal stoppage so it'll be interesting to see how hes come out it , altho his opponent Kash Ali (23 Fights - 21 Wins (12 KOs) - 2 Losses) is pretty low level , ranked around 183rd when i checked , so he shouldnt really be troubling Joyce on any level at all. Obviously this is just a confidence builder and to get a few rounds under his belt after those losses , although i think they could of picked someone slightly better and higher up in the rankings if im honest. Theres no other outcome that i can envisage apart from a Joyce win here , whether he tries to stop him or whether he wants to get some rounds in i dont know but i honestly cant see Ali troubling The Juggernaut in this and i see a stoppage win for Joyce.

William Zepeda v Maxi Hughes
British fighter Maxi Hughes (33 Fights - 26 Wins (5 KOs) - 5 Losses - 2 Draws) meets Mexican William Zepeda (29 Fights - 29 Wins (25 KOs)) for a 12 round eliminator for the IBF Lightweight World Championships which should be an enthralling encounter as far as i'm concerned. Hughes comes into this on the back of a loss to George Kombosos Jr which for me was a robbery , to my eyes he gave Kombosos Jr a boxing lesson and totally dominated the fight so how the judges come up with a majority decision is beyond me tbh , but it is what it is and here we are (and before that he beat the well touted Kid Galahad). Zepeda is yet to taste defeat and arrives after a sixth round stoppage of the decent Mercito Gesta last time. The pair have totally opposite styles with Hughes being a very slick and crafty counter punching boxer , using his ring IQ and boxing skills well whilst Zepeda is a relentless high volume power puncher and its gonna be an interesting and entertaining watch i think. I like both fighters for different reasons and i'd love to see Hughes emerge victorious but i honestly cant see it happening. As i say Hughes is the better boxer but he doesnt have the volume or the firepower to keep Zepeda off him for the entire fight imho , and i think that Zepeda eventually just overwhelms him.

Sandy Ryan v Terri Harper
Looking forward to this one , Ryan (8 Fights - 6 Wins (2 KOs) - 1 Loss - 1 Draw) comes into this after a last time draw with Jessica McGaskill in Florida back in September 2023 and in all honesty for me , and a helluva lot of others , it was a fight she won , whilst Terri Harper (17 Fights - 14 Wins (6 KOs) - 1 Loss - 2 Draws) also comes here after a draw in her last fight , that was against Cecilia Braekhus in October of last year - dont think ive covered a fight where both fighters have drawn in their previous bouts before , first time for everything ! Its a tough one to call this one as both are high level operators , both will be up for it , Harper is coming down a division for this and theres a part of me that thinks thats probably not in her best interests , whilst Ryan is big for the weight and for me has a better ring IQ. Harper can bang so Ryan will have to stay focussed throughout the fight. The more experienced Harper wont make it easy , and she'll certainly have her moments in the fight without a doubt but i feel that Ryan edges this one , probably on points.

Dalton Smith v Jose Zepeda
Unbeaten Yorkshireman Dalton Smith (15 Fights - 15 Wins (11 KOs) meets Jose Zepeda (43 Fights - 37 Wins (28 KOs) - 2 NC) meet for the WBC International Super Lightweight Title , and its an interesting match up to be honest .. up n coming prospect against someone whose been there , seen it and done it so its gonna be an intriguing match up i think. Smith comes into this on the back of a TKO of Sam Maxwell , whilst Zepeda arrives after a unanimous decision loss to Richardson Hitchins back in September of last year , in fact hes lost two of his last three fights , the other one being to Regis Prograis where he was knocked out in the eleventh round. Smith is gonna come into this bouyed up and full of confidence i think , as looking at Zepedas last few fights i think his powers may well be on the wane. Hes 7 years older than Smith , and whilst Smith has a slight height advantage he does have a slightly longer reach which hes going to have to utilise to keep Smith off him. He has the more impressive resume and is obviously the more experienced fighter and i think hes gonna need all that experience to keep Smith at bay in this one but i think Smith does what he does and eventually breaks him down and i can see a stoppage late on if im being honest.
