This was a strong matchup between two incredible athletes, but it never clicked completely. The crowd just weren’t invested, despite a fine video package before the bout. The action was good, but it could’ve been better considering the two men involved.
Swann doesn’t seem over as a face, which is a shame as he is a likeable character. Neville has been doing his best work as of late, but fans didn’t seem to care either way. His win was a very wise choice, as he has been on fire lately, and will serve extremely well as the next champion of the Cruiserweight division.
Hopefully, he can inject more life into the floundering brand of high flyers. Overall, this was a high-quality matchup, and these two have great chemistry, but unfortunately the crowd wasn’t interested, and this wasn’t their best work.
