@Mikey1903 I got the names mixed up, I meant to say Soto was the one with less power but more volume of strikes.... Vicious knockdown, he got caught, wish him a speedy recovery :( Brutal sport and makes you realise how mediocre quality most MMA striking is even at high level

Boxing fans don't turn up until the main event bud. Honestly, it happens at nearly every event. Boxing fans don't turn up until late. Not like MMA fans, especially UFC, the arena is nearly full by the prelims. Trust me, The T Mobile will be packed in time for Canelo!

Probably because MMA prelims are usually way more competitive. Nobody wants to see generic prospect A cruise to a decision against journeyman B.

True, boxing prelims are slowly getting better tbf. Except for Queensberry shows, those are getting worse.

It was a straight punch... Guessing by his coaches Zhang is based in America?

7 - 4 for Vicente I would guess alot of boxers quit after getting a record like that.... Good for him to keep going

Olympic silver and World gold amateur medals for Giyasov, and if you look at his nose, you can see he is a true boxing gentleman. Huge win for Gomez if he can get it
