    He said that the Mitchell and Brook fights were mainly made just to break up the camp. This is a bit disrespectful to the paying customers and people viewing on Sky. This show is a disgrace.

    Agreed.

    All these fights have just been warm up fights against bums, no entertainment value for the public.

    Fielding vs Adamu was half decent but that's been made a mis-match by the weight difference.

    Brudov is totally shot so the Bellew fight will be a load of **** too.

    YES these kind of shows are terrible for boxing the casuals watching this will yet again look at boxing in a bad light i'd rather no boxing than something that will damage it.

    Yes

    Or maybe he could of put 1 good competitive title fight on the show. Is that a lot to ask for?

    Going against the grain of what Sky want but I'd rather watch a competitive fight between two guys I don't know than a ****-poor match up involving a 'name' that usually ends up struggling.

    To be fair to Eddie though if the Smith brothers weren't injured it would be a much better card.

    Exactly.

    Casuals or people flicking channels must think 'if this is boxing, this is a load of shite.'

    People in the crowd too I reckon wouldn't be too keen to go back after a card like this.

    None competitive fights, might as well not be aired, like watching paint dry.

    So boring, surprised this sold any tickets, it's shite.

    Yeah, I'm all for having more boxing on telly, but this is thoroughly shíte. Not a single fight that's worth a shít. It's why I didn't go.
