    Not even good for a keep busy fight, disappointed to see say the least.

    Don't know who is worse Vega or Eubanks opponent lee Sherrington.

    The card didn't interest me a bit. Very big fan of Saunders, but now he's fighting a walkover I may not tune in at all. Especially as it will be on early morning where I am.

    Hopefully Foot-Eggington will get made and at least we will get to see:

    Foot-Eggington
    Yafai-Megrino
    Figueroa-Burns
    Kameda-McDonnell

    at peak UK time on Sky instead.

    IBF welterweight title
    Kevin Mitchell v Jorge Linares
    WBC lightweight title
    Lee Selby v Evgeny Gradovich
    IBF featherweight title
    Anthony Joshua MBE v Kevin Johnson
    WBC International heavyweight title
    John Ryder v Nick Blackwell
    Vacant British middleweight title
    Scotty Cardle v Craig Evans
    Vacant British lightweight title
    Dave Ryan v John Wayne Hibbert
    Commonwealth light-welterweight title

    it is a good card but its PPV. the idea of PPV should be for big big fights not a bunch of good fights. this new style of PPV means we are missing out on good fights that should be on regular sky fight nights.

    Hibbert, Ryder and Selby treble should have very good value

    A total farce of a promotion. Shambolical.

    Absploute spot on...! I used to think Hearn was the best thing to happen in boxing , for a long time.

    However recent show standards have been shocking , nothing short of it!

    And every good fight seems to of been saved for this show.
    Why is brook in London? Same for selby, and cardle ... Nah Mitchell should be headlining in london, with the normal faces on the card.

    Brook should be another Show up north, maybe even Manchester if not Sheffield. Cardle should be on an undercard somewhere north again ( prob same show as brook) instead they are all saved and put on one show.. Terrible
