    I'm gonna attempt to watch all of the Hearns and Warren's domestic shows this year and give honest, unbiased ratings out of 10 for each one.

    Matchroom #1: Cheeseman Vs Garcia @O2
    Dead atmosphere, uncompetitive fights, loads of filler time in between fights. Bizarre fight announcements for fighters not even on the show. Anna Wollhouse saying "Isn't it great to be here at the O2 with the NEW GENERATION" maybe 40 times through the course of the night. This is as bad as it gets in my book.

    2/10

    I might be tempted to give it a 3 because Cheeseman was in a tricky fight but nahh it only deserves a 2

    The rest of the card was absolute garbage

    Maybe you should add the televised card to the op for reference

    Ball vs Richards
    Okolie vs No hoper
    White Collar Guy vs Scrubber
    Cash vs African dwarf

    5 out of 10 for cheeseman va Garcia.

    Main event dragged it out the ****. Impressive performance from Cash and an even better one from Richards. Okolie was what it was and Wardley was a 4 fight novice so didn’t expect much.

    Only watched the Richards and Cheeseman fight, they were both perfectly fine. But I had 0 interest in any of the rest of it. 5 seems about right

    5 is basically a pass mark, no bloody way does this get a pass, not even close.

    Ball vs Richards is not a co main event lol
    It is a shockingly bad co main for tv!!!!!

    The other fights were attrocious.

    The only reason it doesn't get a 1 is because of the Cheeseman fight

    Will get low ratings regardless of how Good or bad the show was because so many in here feel emasculated by Eddie Hearn

    Be honest, how would you rate this?

    If this card is a decent sky card (which you would expect to be of a higher than free tv) than no wonder every half decent fight is on ppv.

    It honestly seems like sky is getting worse and worse tbh

    Had no real complaints tbh thought some of the fights were closer on paper than they turned out to be in reality so That was a shame but overall i thiught it was bang average 5 out of10 with nothing that terrible about it, pretty much what I expected for a prospect night this early in the year really , I actually also quite appreciate the fact that Eddie Hearn isn't afraid of an 0 and puts young fighters like cheeseman in real fights.

    I think the question to ask with these sort of things is how you would rate the main event/main support/undercard before the fights happen. We all know fights can sometimes unexpectedly turn out brilliant and/or well matched, high profile fights end up garbage.

    Even Adam Smith said to Eddie Hearn's face on IFL the night before the fight that it wasn't a great card. So on paper it was below pass marks, and the actual event was below pass marks.

    Why not ? its a saturday fight night and was on paper a fairly even fight between Ball and Richards. Cheeseman vs Garcia was fairly entertaining. I personnally think it was 4/5 could have done with one more (on paper) domesticly even fight or as nice as it is to see new fighters like Wardley maybe go to the small hall shows and find a couple of home fighters who are willing to put it on the line for the exposure. This rating is a good idea (as long as it doesnt become a matchroom/queensbury hate/fanboy thread and ratings are done rationally) out of interest what is the critera for rating ?

    What is pass marks ? seems a vague response by someone with a vendetta against matchroom .

    Pass marks means something that is adequate. How is that hard to understand, did you even go to school? 5/10 on a 1-10 scale would be pass marks.
