    Any footage of this?

    Frank was looking dapper in his shades at the weigh in.

    Warringtons dad is one fat b*stard (and the 'haircut') how do you take a trainer seriously in that sort of shape?

    He's clearly realised he needs to up his appearance game to compete with Eddie, shame he looks like Deirdre Barlow with those awful shades on.

    Leeds Scum - hopefully Selby KOs Josh, who has been a complete twat throughout the buildup.

    What a load of rubbish.

    Boxing attracts trouble no matter who the promoter.Some of the north west Matchroom shows in the last few years have seen battle royals throughout.
    Often you will see Hearn the only one watching the ring whilst everyone else cranes their neck to watch.

    And are you telling me that Warringtons fans were well behaved for Hearn shows and decided to cause trouble due to the promotional change?

    Leeds United has always had a bad reputation for this kinda thing, and I suppose the football team hasn't had much to shout about in the last decade. There is obviously a crossover between football and boxing fans, but it would be wrong to blame it solely on football fans, some people just like causing trouble and football and sometimes boxing happens to be a magnet for these people.

    Funnily enough though, I lived in Leeds for a couple of years, but never saw anything particularly untoward, apart from the odd skirmish in the city centre at 3am, usual stuff, great city to live in, very friendly on the whole compared to the south where I'm from, so I do think it's just a mindless minority.

    Without the Leeds Utd fan base, I'm afraid this fight would struggle to sell out a Phone Box

    This forum is very pro Hearn,anti Warren I notice.

    No matter what the security or where the venue,trouble can happen at any time at any event.A teenager was stabbed to death last year at an area title fight in Walsall.

    Got to say I agree with this. When ever I've been to a Hearn promoted fight I've only seen the odd scuffle and security was quick to sort it...Frank Warren's shows are on another level when it comes to trouble, things get wild!

    I disagree. Hearn comes in for a lot of flak on here sometimes undeserved whereas Frank gets away with a lot. ie this card on Saturday night. Dross. Eddie Hearn puts that on and he would get slaughtered ( I know it’s cliche but he would).

    BT cameramen will have their instructions not to focus anywhere near any trouble
