Ulysse did a nice job. He fights like Kovalev imo. Constant pressure but from distance, long straight punches... Same kind of stalking style. Ochoa got a hell of a beating in round 7

Mayweather on MMA: Real Men Don't Fight Between a Man's Legs
Floyd Mayweather has revealed he is "officially out of retirement" in order to fight UFC champion Conor McGregor.
A bout between the five-weight world champion and the UFC's biggest star has been rumored for months.
Mayweather had earlier played down talk of an agreement between the two camps, posting on Twitter: "There seems to be several rumours floating around media recently however, let the record show, there hasn't been any deals made in regards to a fight between myself and any other fighters.
"I am happily retired and enjoying life at this time. If any changes are to come, be sure that I will be the first to let the world know."

But now Mayweather, 40, stated that he would only return to the ring to fight the Irishman and, on Saturday, he gave the clearest indication yet that it could happen.
Speaking in Liverpool on the latest leg of his UK tour, Mayweather said: "I'm officially out of retirement for Conor McGregor, today.
"If he's really real, like he's says he is, if you really want to fight, just sign the paper.
"Conor McGregor, stop blowing smoke up everyone's ass, if you want to fight, let's make the fight happen."
McGregor has obtained a boxing licence granted by the California State Athletic Commission, which would allow him to box in the state, as part of his pursuit of a cross-sport showdown with Mayweather. He also wants to secure a boxing license in Nevada, so he could fight in Las Vegas.
However, the 28-year-old McGregor is still contracted to the UFC.
Mayweather retired in September 2015 with a 49-0 record while McGregor became UFC's first simultaneous two-weight champion in November when he beat Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt.
The former pound-for-pound king also took a shot at the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, explaining why the fight McGregor needs to be a boxing match.
"Real men fight standing up," Mayweather said in an interview with Fighthype.com. "I'm from old school. I'm not gonna kick my shoes off. I'm not gonna be between no man's legs, wrestling on the ground. I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna kick ass. That's what I do."

On the same day as
HBOs Terrence Crawford
And Showtime/TMT fighter Gervonta Davis also in U.K.
You sure about that? I guess Showtime could air Davis and Spence together but idk if that makes sense.

Dunno about American TV but it will be on sky sports over here and will be on a completely different time than the American fights with the time difference. I think it will be in the daytime for you because we have to stay up til 4am to watch big American fights.

The gervonta Davis fight will be on boxnation I think if it's Frank Warren. Different channel than sky sports.
It will be day time but I'm looking at these guys as being part of US/ Showtime rising stars so they would have to be aired that night, after a bunch of people already streamed the fight and also two different cards.
And I swore I've seen May 20 thrown out from jump May 27 was more likely but now GRJ and Charlo card is supposed to have that date.

Maybe 27th. The rumours that brook pulled out were by American fans who have nothing to with the details. Literally YouTube fans

May 27th is the FA Cup final though which is a big hing in the UK and June 3 is the Champions League final which is also big thing all over Europe so I guess this is why they're p*ssyfooting around that fight date.It will be day time but I'm looking at these guys as being part of US/ Showtime rising stars so they would have to be aired that night, after a bunch of people already streamed the fight and also two different cards.

that's usually the case but idk... maybe they feel it still damages their business
They definitely won't put it on the 3rd of June though if the CL final is there whether an English team will be featured or not
