    Mayer was hurt, I think she's cut above the right eyebrow but she came back into it in the last 40 seconds and I think she hurt Baumgardner.

    We've got a fight. We've got a finish coming up.

  4. Round 7published at 22:04 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    Alycia Baumgardner takes the fight to Mikaela Mayer and gets some joy too. Mayer now has a cut above her right eye. Has she already got enough rounds in the bag though?

  5. Round 6published at 22:01 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    Alycia Baumgardner tries to switch things up in this one, being more expansive and trying an upper cut or two.

    They don't seem to do much damage though.

  7. Round 5published at 21:58 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    Mikaela Mayer's getting on top now. Alycia Baumgardner has to step it up again.

    In the first few rounds, Mayer looked uncomfortable and hesitant but she is starting to look much better.

  9. Round 4published at 21:55 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    A more aggressive affair that one, and pretty even until Mikaela Mayer backs Alycia Baumgardner into her own corner at the end of the round.

    Both are throwing nasty. Mikaela Mayer needs to relax a bit. She needs to use feints and let the jab go.

  11. Round 3published at 21:54 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    Better from Mikaela Mayer. Undefeated after 17 fights, she probably pulled a round back there.

  13. Round 2published at 21:51 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Mayer v Baumgardner

    Alycia Baumgardner, whose last two wins have come in the UK, upped the ante in that round and probably edged that one.

    Three or four big rights, none were perfect, but Baumgardner landed some big shots in that opening round.

    If she gets three or four inches closer then that right hand is dangerous.

  15. Round 1published at 21:46 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Pretty even so far, with Mikaela Mayer taking it easy, looking very calm and composed.

  19. 'It's fantastic for women's boxing'published at 21:38 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Price beats Belik by knockout

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Olympic gold medallist Lauren Price: "The atmosphere was brilliant. Karriss [Artingstall] came into the changing room before I came out and told me to take it all in. It's fantastic for women's boxing.

    "These girls come to fight and they are tough and durable, you hit them with shots and they still come.

    "I'm happy with my performance I just wanted to go out there and put on a show."

  20. 'I see Claressa closing that space & overwhelming Savannah'published at 21:36 British Summer Time 15 October 2022

    Shields v Marshall

    And here's how Mikaela Mayer thinks the main event will go: "I do expect Savannah to continue to box and move like she did in that fight long ago, but I know Claressa is a smarter fighter, even more of a dog than she was then. I see her closing that space and overwhelming Savannah.

    "Savannah has proven to be a very good pro as well, she wants to land that big shot so Claressa is going to have to be careful on her way in. I just see her overwhelming Savannah eventually."
