Dammit Spong!!! Failed the drug test so the fight is cancelled!!! I was actually interested to see how Spong would do against Usyk, no doubt Usyk would've out boxed him but still, I wanted to see it!!  
Hopefully they find a half decent replacement so Usyk is in a competitive fight. Tough to do with only 4 days to go! But should be plenty people willing to take the chance and Matchroom should pay decent to save the headliner.

As long as it is updated 12 hours before the event starts.  I have already mentioned it needs added yesterday, if I could I would've added it then.  
You should contact tapology to let them know it need done

Yeah Brad mate, really is a case of Who Da Fook is That Guy?????

I've been following boxing since I was a kid and I have never heard of Chazz Witherspoon??? Tim Witherspoon yes, Chazz no!!!
Still, they had 4 days to find a replacement against Usyk!, A top 5 P4P guy.  Whoever took the fight had no chance, but it was an opportunity, look at Andy Ruiz

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 11 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 670 Points   |   21st Place

Usyk vs. Witherspoon
Oleksandr Usyk, TKO, R3
Oh Chazz, thanks for stepping up and keeping Usyk on the card. I really think Usyk can make a real run at the big boys Wilder, Fury and Joshua (and Ruiz even tho I think he loses the rematch and disappears!) Usyk has supreme technical boxing ability, amazing footwork and he has precision and power. I don't think the size will be too much of an issue, I mean Wilder fights at just over 200lbs, I think he was 204lbs in the 1st Fury fight? Any man over 200lbs has KO power! Anyway Usyk puts on a show here and gets an early stoppage

McCaskill vs. Farias
Jessica McCaskill, DEC
I picked Farias the 1st fight and she was wining the fight at the beginning but couldn't keep up her high output and McCaskill took over late in a fun scrap. This time McCaskill is the home town crowd behind doesn't have the slow start and wins a clear decision

Conwell vs. Day
Patrick Day, DEC
This should be a close fight. It's much more competitive than the picks suggest anyway. Patrick Day has better wins as a pro, Conwell has the amatuer background, hhhmmm I'm tempted to break my no underdog rule in boxing here!

Bivol vs. Castillo
Dmitry Bivol, TKO, R5
I have a feeling Bivol will get a nasty KO here. It's been 3 fights since he got a stoppage so 1 is due, unlucky Lenny!!!

Sims Jr. vs. Fitch
Anthony Sims Jr., TKO, R4
Sims Jr is going to be challenging for 1 of the big boy belts very soon. Guys a legit talent

Usyk vs. Witherspoon
Oleksandr Usyk, TKO, R7
Well..... They did find a Heavyweight Replacement. So we'll still get to see Oleksandr Usyk in Heavyweight trim. I expect HUUUUUGE THINGS and a couple fights, he'll be chewing up the big names. I know the other day, I said that boxing's great again.... But Heavyweight Boxing is ******* great again. Annnd here's to hoping Usyk breaks the 3 fight decision streak.

McCaskill vs. Farias
Jessica McCaskill, DEC
BoxRec has em #1 and #2.

Conwell vs. Day
Patrick Day, DEC
I hear Mikey1903 *****ing RIGHT NOW.... "Brad the Bum. What're you thinking you bum!? You NEVER take the underdog in boxing!" But seriously. Patrick Day is reeeaally tempting. Conwell has literally fought garbage. Day has atleast been in there with some of the divisions bigger names.

Bivol vs. Castillo
Dmitry Bivol, TKO, R8
Castillo has never been finished, so I'm torn between it going the distance and ending in the 2nd half of the fight

Sims Jr. vs. Fitch
Anthony Sims Jr., TKO, R7
Anthony Sims Jr. Keep your eyeballs on this kid. He's gonna be a contender down the road, whether at Super-Middleweight or Light-Heavyweight. He's gonna be a problem.

Doheny vs. Martinez
TJ Doheny, TKO, R4
You could say Doheny had an off night last time out, by dropping a very winnable fight to him in Daniel Roman. He'll want to run that one back for sure.. Martínez has been KO'd 5x in his 9 losses, sooooo it's pretty much a fight for Doheny to get back on track. Expect him to start off fast and look to finish early

@Mikey ... Witherspoon at one time was a decent Heavyweight prospect outta Philly. He went like 20 something and 0, with 15kos before he had a fight with Chris Arreola that ended in a DQ loss. Then won a few fights and got KO'd by Tony Thompson and KO'd again a few more fights later. Now he's pretty much a 38 year old gate keeper. Putting it nicely

Yeah, I don't expect much from Witherspoon! I'm just glad I get to see Usyk fight.  I was realkg interested in the Spong fight, just coz I've seen Spong wreck shop in kickboxing and MMA woulda liked to see him against a top boxer. But still, Usyk can defo win a belt at heavyweight.
Also, I'm picking Patrick Day too ya BUM!!! haha

Yea man. Patrick Day is struggling. He never regained consciousness after that KO. Had multiple seizures on the trip to the ER. They had to do emergency Brain surgery and is in a medically induced coma. Idk what needs to be done. We've already lost 5 boxers in the last 12 months. That's not including guys like Adonis Stevenson who ALMOST died in the ring, but will never fight again. Idk what needs to be done. Shorten the length of the fights so they're absorbing less blows? Idk, something with the gloves? Idk

To be honest bud I don't think there is anything that can be done.  It called a sport but it is a fight!  The aim is to do damage, sometimes the damage is severe.  It's a harsh way to look at it I know.  Obviously safety measures have to be taken, medical care, good referee, commissions etc. 
I hate seeing it but it is a part of fight sports

The only thing I can think to do is stop a fight after a certain number of power punches are landed.

I understand it's part of the sport. Annnd I'm sure anyone and everyone that steps in the ring / cage / enclosure that they know the risks. Risk being injured, either minor or severe, even risking life altering or life ending injuries. But it just seems to be happening wayyyy more now, than before
