    Sheeraz v Williams

    Williams with plenty of energy as he looks for away back into this contest, but Sheeraz holds him off.

    Further risk from Williams does not pay off as Sheeraz responds with a big right hook.

    Good discipline from Sheeraz. He is getting big punches to land, but he is not forcing anything and he does not need to, either.

    Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew: "Looks like two fighters at two different weights if I’m being honest! Ammo is being bullied by Sheeraz now and it doesn’t look good! He needs a home-run punch! He’s being painfully picked apart! Brave but just not enough coming back."

  4. Round eightpublished at 22:38 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Certainly the last four rounds of this fight have seen Sheeraz just boss it.

    He lands a couple of forceful left uppercuts. Williams feels the effects, but battles through as if to say that Sheeraz will have to more than that to get rid of him.

    Blood starts to come of the mouth of Williams towards the end of this eighth round and Sheeraz is going for those big punches. Williams just needs his opponent to not land one.

  5. Round sevenpublished at 22:35 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Williams is trying to unlock Sheeraz's defences, but the more he tries, it is almost becoming easier for Sheeraz.

    The right eye of Williams is continuing to close and is not getting easier for him.

    There is a bit of swagger and confidence around Sheeraz now. He knows Williams is there for the taking.

    "Slip, slide and go to work" is the message from Williams' corner.

    He certainly needs something resembling a fightback after some control from Sheeraz.

  7. Round sixpublished at 22:30 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Williams is starting to wear here. His right eye is starting to close, and Sheeraz landing a crucial blow will not have helped Williams' cause.

    As the sixth finishes, Williams' ability to move around the ring is very controlled. He is starting to really command this fight that for the first four rounds, had been very close to call.

    A left uppercut and a series of further jabs from Sheeraz is forcing Williams to try and counter, knowing he can't take this damage for too much longer.

  8. Round fivepublished at 22:26 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Compared to other fights Williams would have had in his career, there would have been moments against other opponents where he could take time to breathe and compose himself.

    He could do with those sorts of little breaks now, but Sheeraz is having none of it. He's yet to land a really crucial blow, but he is not too far away from doing so.

    A slight setback for Williams, but considering how this bout has ebbed and flowed, he won't be concerned just yet.

    If Eddie Hearn takes another step forward he'll be in there alongside them.

  10. Round fourpublished at 22:22 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Williams starts the round strong and there is another brief swing of momentum.

    After a scrappy middle portion of the round, both men exchange strong uppercuts in quick succession with success.

    I'm not sure we've seen a one-sided fight as of yet. Tight contests and brilliant boxing all-round so far.

    Sheeraz v Williams

    After a round where Williams was on the wrong end of a few brutal Sheeraz punches, he gets a bit of a ticking off.

    There's an encouragement from his corner to move and make life more difficult for Sheeraz.

    I still think although they are 2-0 down I still think Matchroom can win it with the help of Deontay Wilder and Filip Hrgovic

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Better from Sheeraz, getting away some strong early blows, including a good left.

    He finds another later in the round, better than the first and with Williams searching, Sheeraz then catches him with a brilliant right hook.

    Maybe, Sheeraz needed that last round to spark him into life and the momentum has swung again, helped by two strong blows as the round draws to a close.

    Good encouragement from Sheeraz's corner after that round, telling him "these things happen". It seems to give him a morale boost.

    An excellent second round from Williams and Sheeraz will not to take too long to battle back.

    I asked you at 21:49 to hit thumbs up if you think Queensberry end the night with a win or thumbs down for Matchroom.

    It's fair to say you think it could continue as one-way traffic!

    Sheeraz v Williams

    Wow! Where did that come from?

    A brilliant straight punch from the left hand of Williams lands on Sheeraz seconds into round two and Sheeraz is forced to hold on to buy himself some time.

    Sheeraz tries to be on the attack, but when he is, Williams is waiting to pounce and gets another strong left away.

    A brilliant round for Williams in this bout between two men with perfect records prior to tonight.

    Still getting my head around this scoring system but it could all be over for Matchroom after this bout.

    If Queensberry captain Hamzah Sheeraz gets a win by stoppage against Austin Williams then his team will move on to six points.

    The best Matchroom could then hope for is a draw and they'd need Filip Hrgovic and Deontay Wilder to both win by stoppage.

    Nervous moments for Eddie Hearn and co.

  18. Round onepublished at 22:10 British Summer Time 1 June

    Sheeraz v Williams

    A more calm and measured opening round to the first two fights in tonight's 5v5 competition.

    Williams tries to get more punches away, but a number of them have seemed to be from too far away.

    Towards the end of the round, Sheeraz exhibited some signs of the power he has and if he gets a few of them to lad, Williams could find himself in a spot of bother.

    Is Eddie Hearn getting a little worried about the outcome of this 5 v 5 event?

    Matchroom are trailing 2-0 after the opening two fights.

    He's just popped backstage to go and have a quick pep talk with his captain Deontay Wilder.
