Wembley undercard

Qui gg fights April 19th can't see him fighting again so soon

 

Be interesting to see what Eddie comes up with as this is a huge show and he will lose a lot of credibility if his undercard isn't decent.

His stable has taken a bit of a battering recently with burns and bellew both losing. Selby is massively overrated by Hearn and is fighting on the welsh card soon alongside cleverly so neither are likely to be involved.

Brooks vs the winner of porter/Pauli is to soon.

Brian rose is likely to be fighting in the us..

That leaves

Kevin Mitchell who is well liked but unless he gets a world title fight there won't be much interest.

Yafai, Joshua, Campbell and smith are all to early in their careers to risk in a big fight.

Jamie McDonnell is a good fighter but no way a big draw and ****** is likely to line hall up against butler. Taking away that title shot.

I struggle to see what undercard he will build for the show.

Burns vs Mitchell would be a good fight for the casuals and boxing fans.

I would love to see brook vs frankie but no way would that happen.

Hughie vs joshua would be a good fight but its a huge risk for Eddie.

Bellew vs cleverly would of been a good fight as an undercard.

Sadly now the fight is sold out I think we will be sold short with a poor undercard as the main event has sold itself.

 

about time it got announced aint it?

 

hearn should take a risk and try to make a fight such as Donaire vs Lee Selby!!
this bill needs another big fight just in case.. something like Paul Smith vs Rocky Fielding is alright but it isn't good enough as chief support for an event as big as this

 

Hearn is going to serve up a turd of a card..lets face it..it's what he does

 

the Micthell- Vasquez and Mcdonnell - Hall world title fights are dead in the water , it's not looking good for this card....

 

Certainly has been the case on Sky for most of 2013 and 2014.

 

What is your idea of the opposite of a "non-turd" card?

Are you one of these clowns who expect Brook v Khan and Quigg v Frampton on the undercard?

 

atsch no I'm not expecting khan - Brook nobody in there right mind where expecting anything like that.

Fast car Hearn was the one talking about putting on Mitchell as chief support in a world title fight against Vasquez.....that's all gone quiet funnily enough. ok, world title fights aren't easy to make most can accept that so the least we can expect is mitchel against a decent name.
Did you see the Patsy Hearn booked for Kevin last time? We can't have anything like that again for fcuk sake especially as chief support of a big event like this..

Even Hatton put on a very good card for his comeback even though he probably had half the budget available to Hearn for this card..

 

Didn't Vazquez get cut?

Fair point about Hatton.

I would try my best to get Degale on there.

 

apparently it's looking like

Froch vs Groves 2
some world title fight TBA
Mitchell vs someone IBF final eliminator
Rocky Fielding vs Paul Smith
Stephen Smith vs some tough Argentinian
Anthony Joshua vs TBA

 

Eddie said he's looking at Sprott as an opponent for Joshua

 

All of Eddie's world title fights are either made for other times or dead in the water, McDonnell wont be fighting for a world title, Mitchell isn't, Brook isn't, Rose isn't, Quigg out in April so if he is on the card he will be defending his paper title against a nobody. Such a massive event and Eddie needs to get his wallet out and get a Big! chief support, like someone said Donaire for Selby, If this card is poor Eddie will loose massive credibility this opportunity will not come along for years and we need to showcase boxing at it's best.

 

Joshua v Sprott
Mitchell v TBA
Woodhouse v Coyle (Hull would also make sense but Woodhouse will satisfy casuals/football fans for this card...talking point)
Campbell v TBA

That is what I reckon....pretty underwhelming but not holding my breath for anything better.
