I can't imagine he's a big enough name to headline the 02 at this stage unless they're fighting a big British name or a huge INTL name...which seems unlikely given past evidence.
Good card, I'm looking forward to it. One thing though, doesn't really matter too much, but why is this at the Leicester Arena? Main event is Catteral Vs Davies - Jack is from Manchester and O'Hara is from London. Also Dubois from London and Nicola Adams is from Leeds. Nonetheless fun card! Just hope ticket sales are not too dry due to logistics.
When are they going to annouce the main event and co main event or is this it? If so Frank cant criticise an Eddie Card again PPV or not.
Kevin Johnson? Absolutely terrible...he's coming off 2 losses and about to turn 39. Ranked 115 on boxrec.
It’s at Leicester because of Sam Bowen and Lyon Woodstock.Bowen is scheduled for a 12 rounder. Yarde isn’t on there because he doesn’t need to be what with the arena being significantly smaller than somewhere like the 02.
Do you have to be negative? He does what every promoter does,who cares? The card is solid and will get better by the looks of it.
If this card was just announced today without the preannoucement of it being massive/huge etc then there would be very few critics. Look at the guesses people had what it would be in the other thread. Nobody predicted this.
It's ideal for Dubois. Every one of us is saying the same thing. "He needs rounds, he needs his tank tested etc". Johnson is perfect for that. Plus he sparked Pianeta who Fury is fighting. You've been on this forum long enough to know that Boxrec ratings don't mean much.
Well I actually don't see this fight going past 3 rounds. KJ is absolutely shot and will fold as soon as Dubois lands He won't even throw any punches back. Dubois' actually needs someone who will punch back and make him think, that's how fighters develop.
If you want Dubois' gas tank tested then stick him with Malik Scott who has sparring partner mentality and no power. He will definitely give him rounds.
