    Most of his cards are a terrible viewing, filled with mismatches, bad styles, awful refereeing, terrible production. Just plain low quality.

    The Americans must be licking their lips at the prospect of watching anthony yarde vs the mighty TBA at the copperbox

    Don't know what I ever did to old Frankie Fish Eyes, but I tried sending him a Tweet about this deal and he has blocked me. I've never sent the man a tweet before in my life, at least that I can remember. First time someone's ever blocked me on Twitter and it's Frank Warren who I've never interacted with :roflmao:

    We’re shaking with anticipation for Miller-Adamek right now, but once that’s over we’ll adjust.

    At least you can have a nice afternoon watching TBA do his thing, I'm gonna have to stay up all night waiting for adamek to grace the ring once more, but it'll be worth it

    :lol: Boxing promoters are such fickle bitches.

    BTW, are the ESPN+ events on demand? (They carried Dib-Farmer, could you rewatch it?)
    The Warren events might be stale poop, but there is quality in quantity. (and some turds do blossom)

    Same here. Gonna work all night and then get home in time.
    Huge Miller fan but that boy has his limits. I am 100% certain he will underestimate Adamek.
    And Miller will most likely have no respect for Adameks power, thus trying to force a stoppage.
    I think it's going to be a heck of a fight.
    (Miller has some really nice tricks but he needs a lot more seasoning.)

    Crolla vs Burns was a good domestic clash for both of them, might not be the most exciting fight too watch but it’s a competitive fight at least

    We do Daylight Savings Time. I'm not sure if the UK does. In the fall, we add an extra hour to one day and in the Spring we lose an hour from another.

    Both countries operate daylight saving time, but they aren't completely in sync so it can vary a bit in March and October/November.

    Everything ESPN+ or regular ESPN shows is on-demand for 30 days after the day of the event, but after that it's gone. You'd think they'd add it to Top Rank's Best of Boxing vault/catalog, but nah. They've been the same 124 fights, as they were when ESPN+ launched.

    You mean we "Spring forward" for 6 months, then "Fall back" for the other 6 :elefant:

    Yes. But it actually is more like "Spring forward" from March until November, then pointlessly shorten the days that are already short until March rolls back around.
