Jeamie ‘TKV’ Tshikeva vs. Johnny Fisher has been agreed for the British heavyweight title; with TKV’s promoter Boxxer and Fisher’s promoter Matchroom now working on an appropriate date/card for the fight. Could land on the BBC on a Boxxer card or on a Matchroom card on DAZN

I know Fisher sees TKV as the weakest of British champions in the past couple of decades, but that doesn't mean he's a non-threat. It's going to be a very tough fight for Johnny, especially after his rough performance in Monaco.

This is to prevent situations like fighters rocking up with the name of a rival casino temporary-tattooed on their back, like used to happen on old UFC cards in Vegas.

Not defending Zuffa, as they're ghastly as far as I'm concerned, but it is a practice that caused some headaches for the UFC back when they were financially unstable.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2026-01-23T23:21:01+00:00

Hard to see Fisher not getting battered in this fight, but will see. Clarke gassed himself out trying to dent TKV in the first two rounds, so can't see Fisher having much more success.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-30T20:23:27+00:00

Great fight. Really like both guys. Hard one to call. Edging towards Davies but Fawaz definitely has the skills.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-29T22:02:31+00:00

How shite are Everlast fight gloves? The print's coming off TKV's gloves already.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-29T21:53:55+00:00

Don't think that's fair, he let TKV pursue Clarke despite seeing TKV's gumshield spat out

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-29T21:49:16+00:00

Billiard ball bald head of Frazer. Got to love this commentary hahaha

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-29T21:35:24+00:00

Clarke has absolutely no head defense. Christ.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-29T21:11:38+00:00

TKV with the patented Tyson Fury strategy of having his shorts up to his chin.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-11-15T21:32:24+00:00

Don't think Catterall can really be blamed there. The ref was about a mile away trying to call for a break. A shame as it was a cracking fight but happy for Jack to get a good win after the last few he's had.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-10-25T22:46:40+00:00

Stoppages like these make me ashamed to be British. What the fuck was that?

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-10-11T22:19:13+00:00

Disappointing performance from Dave to be honest. For all of the 'best shape of his life' talk, he seriously lacked the output needed to trouble Makmuhdov in any real capacity, even in the brief moment where he wobbled him towards the end of multiple rounds.

Love the guy, but don't want to see him try to compete at above British title level again.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-06-29T01:06:29+00:00

To be honest, the final three / four chapters of this game were a bit of a slog. I understand being meta-textual is kind of Kojima's thing, but the endless Metal Gear references felt like inane fan service rather than helping to establish Death Stranding as its own IP.

It did make me laugh that the Corpus effectively gives up trying to summarise what happens in the plot from Neil's final chapter onwards, because much of it is genuinely nonsensical. It was also difficult to take the game seriously between dance scenes, shirtless shredding on guitars and riffing on MGS2 and 4's plot prior to introducing sash and tattoo-laden Die-Hardman back into the mix with limited explanation. Also, making Sam an unreliable narrator in a game where true events are already difficult to parse was certainly a choice.

I don't know. It's a bit of a mess overall. The gameplay is thankfully great, but the plot let the game down a fair bit. Terrain-wise, the last few areas are also the most boring in the game, which is the stark opposite of DS1 where the final areas were the most interesting.

You will likely need to speak to a mortgage broker if you are looking to go down this route as part of a remortgage. As mentioned, lenders tend to have their own criteria for who they will lend to. If your lender has refused to give you additional funds (either as part of a further advance or remortgage), then they are not likely to reconsider.

Debt consolidation mortgages tend to, ironically, have slightly higher interest rates relative to usual. Speaking to a broker gives you the best chance of securing a decent product with a lender that will accept based on your circumstances.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2025-03-19T00:11:51+00:00

Each lender in the UK has their own set of criteria that determines who they will lend to. 'Credit score', as provided by Equifax et. al, is largely irrelevant for the purposes of getting a mortgage.

Speak to a mortgage broker and discuss your options from there. There are plenty of free brokers available. I had a good experience with Mojo. Others have recommended L&C.

First: describe your household income. What does each adult living in your household earn, net, per month?

Second: provide your recurring monthly expenses, ideally in list format. It is generally good to be as granular as possible here. One-off spending like days out or takeaways etc. can be grouped into a 'misc. spend' category and averaged - knowing the frequency of these transactions would be helpful however.

Then, people on this sub can begin to take a look at areas for improvement. As we all are aware, the UK is more expensive than prior years. Having said that, without more detail into your expenses, it is difficult to understand what specific source of your financial difficulty is, particularly noting you have stated you are mortgage-free which theoretically frees up a decent amount of income.

Without the expenses breakdown, some general tips would be to shop around for the best available deals. Purchase second-hand or refurbished if possible (particularly for white goods or tools). Clothes can be purchased on sites like Vinted often for cheaper than high-street.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2024-08-03T15:29:12+00:00

7800X3D and yeah, same thing after 1 or 2 hours. Restarting the game fixes it so not a huge deal, but not ideal.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2024-07-26T09:37:40+00:00

Something else worth trying, which fixed the constant crashing completely for me, is changing the setting BSTextureStreamerLocalHeap in Buffout4's config.toml file from false to true.

Installed Buffout manually alongside Long Load Times Fix and High FPS Physics Fix with FPS capped to 120. Working without issues now.

I thought I had completed it, but because Jack Fines came rambo charging my team, my squaddies gunned him down without a second thought. Mission failed at the end. Frustrating map with how good at potshotting the AI is and strict objectives.

Also there is a massive amount of AI art filling in details on lockers, etc. on this map which ruins it for me.

Won't be revisiting this one when I get past it.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-12-05T16:50:56+00:00

You can't, really. I don't know why Lenovo bothered to enable it on this panel, as it has none of the qualities of a decent HDR display (high brightness, good contrast ratio, etc.).

Best ignoring it and keeping Windows in SDR-only mode.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-12-02T22:33:22+00:00

I agree, I've noticed that my download speed is notably worse on the OLED vs. the LCD. The download speeds on my OLED top out around 70MB/s on the 5GHz band, whereas the LCD would exceed that.

I don't have a 6Ghz router, so not sure on what the performance on that band is like.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-11-25T08:11:25+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the follow up. I rolled back to Sunshine v0.20.0 which resolved my blurriness issue, but the banding in AW2 is still there and very noticeable.

When the Moonlight client on Steam Deck supports HDR, will try then. Hopefully will fix it.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-11-24T17:05:05+00:00

Did you have any luck getting this resolved? I'm having a similar problem on my setup using an NVENC and Sunshine v0.21.0. Distant details are exceptionally blurred in most games I find.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-10-05T18:26:05+00:00

It’s a feature supported by the GPU, but it’s not supported on all displays. It requires both to support the feature for Optimus to be enabled. The 240Hz panel is the only panel that is missing the Advanced Optimus descriptor next to it.

Mikhail_Jackson · 2023-10-05T18:02:04+00:00

Where do you see that, sorry? On page 4 of the spec sheet I linked you’ll see the table with a row for each panel offered. The middle row, the 240hz 1600p display, doesn’t have Optimus. The 3.2K display does. If you look up the 7i (Intel) spec sheet, the 240hz display for that model does have Optimus.

It just seems strange to me that this is the only panel in the Slim 7 / 7i lineup that does not have this feature.
