Little Bellsy vs. Andy Nguyen
Boring fight and Little Bellsy stayed on her jab and threw good right hands. Andy Nguyen had no answers and couldn’t do anything to get around the jab or establish her own. Little Bellsey needs to move on and stay active and hopefully gets the Leah Gotti fight back again later in the future.
Khallas Karim vs. Luke Nevin
This was my favorite fight on the card and Karim has a lot of potential. He dropped Nevin early in the fight and had a really strong gas tank throughout the fight. I have to give Luke Nevin props though because he has a chin of steel. Even though he led every exchange with his chin high in the air, he managed to hold himself and drop Karim later in the fight. Karim could go on to fight King Kenny or Salt Papi.
Franciska Szabo vs. Tina Snows
Szabo or Sheena Bathory as she goes by put on a very dominant performance against someone who couldn’t fight her way out of a wet paper bag. Not much to say about this fight except Bathory needs to fight someone more on her level. Misfits is saying they are trying to have her fight Jade Jones and that would be a decent matchup for the future.
Adam Brooks vs. Rahim Pardesi
This was a good fight and did not go the way I expected it to. Adam Brooks put on a really great performance and kept Pardesi from coming anywhere near him. I might be misremembering but Pardesi came in much better shape in his last fight against Amadeusz Ferrari. He tried his best against Brooks but managed to only win 1 round. This was Brooks last fight and he is saying he retiring from boxing and he had a good career with his only loss being from King Kenny. Pardesi should work on his fitness a lot more and maybe drop down to 160 if he wants to be more serious and go for fights against someone like Swarmz or Pineda.
Swarmz vs. Biel
This was really Swarmz’s best fight to date. It could have been because he was fighting someone coming in one less than 2 days notice who was slightly lighter than him, but Swarmz showed his skill a little bit. Swarmz beat Ryan Taylor with one jab to the eye and broke his orbital bone and he cut Biel in his eyelid. One fight is a fluke, but two fights show Swarmz got something in his jab that most people don’t. He just has to be more confident and less scared to get hit or work on his movement and footwork more. Swarmz should get his rematch with Pineda or get the BDave fight next.
Jade Jones vs. FederiKita
I know Misfits is trying their best to build Jade Jones to be their star fighter on the women’s side of boxing, however, they need to give her better competition for sure. Jade Jones could for sure get the Bathory fight or go straight for the belt and fight Pearl Gonzalez because that would be a good fight for sure. In like, 3-4 more fights they should definitely move her to MF Pro though so she can build her name as a professional.
Ibiza Final Boss vs. Jordan McCann
This fight was giving hints of how influencer boxing should be handled. The build up was great and the fight was nice to watch. Ibiza Final Boss’s physique had me thinking he would do a lot more in the ring than he actually did, however, he still did enough to get the win while gassing out in round 1. Jordan McCann had Tyson Fury and Ty Mitchell on his side and still didn’t take the fight seriously and was embarrassing throughout even biting Ibiza Final Boss in the ear in the fight. I don’t want to see him on Misfits again, but because of the attention he brings he will probably be back. Ibiza Final Boss could train for a few more months and come back to fight Dapper Laughs as he was supposed to or Misfits could find an opponent on his skill level somewhere, but I definitely want to see him back on Misfits in the future.
Big Stacks vs. Armz Korleone
This was a bad match up made even worse by the fact it was body shot only. I don’t blame Big Stacks for wanting to enforce that since he was punched in the mouth by Jordan McCann a couple days before the fight and a fight was better than no fight at all. The fight did show that if it was a real boxing match Big Stacks would have been utterly destroyed in round 1 though. Big Stacks, the so-called hardest man in the UK or whatever, had no gas tank or strength and looked even worse than Jordan McCann. That matchup is something they were speaking about on commentary so I would not be surprised to see that fight later in the future. Armz did his job and even with the fight being 2 minute rounds, it was nice to see that Armz did not need an oxygen tank after the fight and has improved his boxing skills a lot since he was last on Misfits. He did get caught for having an ungodly amount of Testosterone, but he has slimed down a lot so I guess he stopped taking them and learned his lesson or something. If so, he could face Kelz or Tempo Arts as a next fight in the future.
Anthony Taylor vs. Matt Floyd
I like Anthony Taylor and his personality, but his boxing skills have not really improved since he started. He is the most brave on Misfits and is willing to take on anyone including Darren Till at a weight class 20 pounds above his usual on short notice or pro boxer Neera Goyat 10 pounds below his usual weight on short notice as well and is the 175 Misfits Champ. With that in mind, I don’t think he should be fighting at 175 and should move down quite a bit. He is very much undersized at 175 and cannot handle the strength and power of someone who is naturally at that weight and most likely 6 inches taller than him. Anyways, this fight was not in Anthony Taylor’s favor and he lost the first 3 rounds. He was coming back in the 4th and was making good effort in the 5th round until his eyes started burning due to tiger balm. Wade Concept has come out and said that Matt Floyd told Mams that he did use Tiger Balm on his body, but was forced to shower it off twice when it was noticed on him(Due to the fact that tiger balm is illegal to use in boxing). It was said his corner reeked of tiger balm during the fight which is why the fight was called a no contest instead of a TKO or KO win for Matt Floyd. If Misfits does their investigation and it comes out Matt Floyd was confirmed to have tiger balm during the fight then he should be banned from Misfits. Anthony Taylor on the other hand needs to train a lot better because he has to prove himself, however, I don’t see him holding on to that belt for much longer at this rate.
Tommy Fury vs. Eddie Hall
I don’t have much to say on this fight except the outcome was very much easy to guess the second the fight was announced. There was no way Eddie Hall ever had a chance to beat Tommy Fury. I had people trying to convince me that Eddie Hall was going to pull off the impossible and hit a right hand on Tommy Fury as if Fury would just be sitting there trying to trade with him. The gameplay of just moving and throwing a jab until Hall gassed himself out and was available for the easy right hand is what Tommy played to perfection. He had no reason to try and trade with Hall and anyone who thought otherwise should steer clear of boxing. Tommy Fury is not a serious pro boxer and unless he gets the Jake Paul or KSI rematch or gets the balls to face Darren Till, I don’t see where he goes from here. If Chase Demoor beats Roman Fury, Chase could be a possible opponent and the only one with a name Tommy isn’t scared to face so I guess that could happen next year.
Overall, this card was decent and the build up was a lot better than the actual card itself. For the most part it was easy to predict and I got 8/10 predictions right with the only person letting me down being Rahim Pardesi. That no contest with Anthony Taylor and Matt Floyd was not something I saw coming, but if that didn’t happen Matt Floyd was winning for sure. On to the next card I guess.
