Should stopped it a few round earlier probably, and it should have been his corner cause if I saw it right the ref called it. Nice showing from Galahad. Could probably force a stoppage earlier too if he put his foot on the gas a little more like putting more weight behind his shots but overall this was impressive tonight, he showed a good jab, a dedicated body attack and good work in the pocket too, worked a lot overall. He got tagged by dikken's a few times but nothing too bad and nothing that he couldn't have avoided with a more risk averse approach.
That was entertaining, think all the fights were stoppages apart from the pre show fight.
Babic battered Bennett, Wardley got a nice first round stoppage.
Congrats to Galahad on being new world champion.
Interested to see Joshua Buatsi next week.

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
Babic fight was entertaining, however if he fights like that against better competition, he'll get sparked out.
Wardley vs Webb I felt was stopped too early. But Wardley was gonna win the fight anyway.
Awad (I refuse to call him Galahad) the fight was boring but he was the better boxer. For every punch his opponent threw, Awad threw two or three. Again I can see him coming up short against better opponents and this shows that having the belt doesn't necessarily mean you're the best in the division

Think Galahad is more entertaining than he used to be and got better too, couldn't pick anybody confidently to beat him from the current featherweights.
Babic is a fun side character who got a bit of buzz in the UK scene now. You can find these kind of limited fighters with an entertaining fighting style and a gimmick going with it becoming popular in the UK scene more often than in the US secene. Dave Allen another good example of this and Florian Marku is on the same wave as well imo.
Webb's showing was terrible, just let the shyt get beaten out of him without any resistance. Got wobbled and beaten for a a half minute or so before the ref stepped in and didn't even try to clinch or taking a knee, you could already see where this going. They need to be careful with who they match Wardley, a guy who's learning on the job and only boxing for 2-3 years or what but I'd expect something more challenging than this.
On paper Webb was supposed to be a challenge, he’d destroyed Pfeifer in his previous fight and looked good, he has some power and was bigger too. Prior to that he’d won the Boxxer tournament. He started off well in the fight but when Wardley started throwing with mean intentions Webb couldn’t handle the speed and power. Wardley had no amateur career either, he fought white collar so on paper it was a good challenge, in practise he blew him out of there. Wardley may need someone a bit more durable cause he’s knocking everyone out, think he won his first fight in points then the other 11 all by knockout.
Buatsi-Bolotniks DAZN Weigh-In Report From Matchroom HQ Garden

There were no issues at the scale for the second season finale of Matchroom Fight Camp.
All boxers made weight for Saturday’s which airs live on DAZN from Matchroom Boxing HQ Garden in Brentwood, Essex, England. In the main event, 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist and current rising contender Joshua Buatsi (14-0, 12KOs) faces Ricards Bolotniks (18-5-1, 8KOs) in a scheduled 12-round light heavyweight title eliminator.
Buatsi weighed 174 ¾ pounds, while Bolotniks tipped the scale at 174 ½ pounds.
Buatsi enjoys a quick ring turnaround, coming off a 4th round knockout of Daniel Blenda Dos Santos this past May in Manchester, England. The 28-year-old from Croydon, London by way of Accra, Ghana entered the pro ranks in 2017 to high expectations, emerging as a feel-good story out of the 2016 Rio Olympics. A combination of injuries, the pandemic and difficulty in finding willing top light heavyweights to step in the ring with him have slightly stalled his career progress, though a win on Saturday will force a sanctioning body to grant him a title shot.
Bolotniks has enjoyed quite a career turnaround after struggling out the gate. The 31-year-old from Riga, Latvia enters riding a seven-fight win streak, including his emerging in the MTK Golden Contract light heavyweight tournament, with wins over Steven Ward, Hosea Burton and Serge Michel to claim top honors.
Below are the weights for the DAZN undercard, which begins Saturday 7:00 p.m. BST/2:00 p.m. ET.
Joe Cordina (12-0, 7KOs), Cardiff, Wales, 134 pounds vs. Joshuah Hernandez (10-3, 8KOs), Chicago, 132 ¼ pounds—10 rounds, lightweight
Michael McKinson (20-0, 2KOs), Portsmouth, England, 146 ½ pounds vs. Przemyslaw Runowski (19-1, 5KOs), Slupsk, Poland, 146 ¼ pounds—12 rounds, welterweight
Hopey Price (4-0, 1KO), Leeds, England, 123 ¾ pounds vs. Claudio Grande (5-0, 3KOs), Toscana, Italy, 120 ½ pounds—6 rounds, junior featherweight
Kash Farooq (15-1, 6KOs), Glasgow, 117 ½ pounds vs. Luis Gerardo Castillo (28-2, 18KOs), Jiqulipilco, Mexico, 116 ¼ pounds—10 rounds, bantamweight
Below are the weights for the rest of the undercard.
Raymond Ford (8-0-1, 4KOs), Camden, New Jersey, 126 pounds vs. Reece Bellotti (14-4, 12KOs), Watford, England, 125 ¼ pounds—10 rounds, featherweight
Zelfa Barrett (25-1, 15KOs), Manchester, England, 136 ¼ pounds vs. Viorel Simion (22-6, 9KO), Bucharest, Romania, 139 ¾ pounds—8 rounds, junior welterweight

That left from Price at the end was quality.
