    Shame it’s the same night as Joyce Parker.

    It's a good card Matchroom has put together, but there will be no viewers. Joyce vs Parker will take all the attention and it's a shame for the boxers. I really wish in the future that the TV Bosses and Boxing Promoters could sit down and distribute the dates between them - just like HBO and Showtime did a few years ago so we avoid these clashes.

    Really good card. Definitely watching this over Joyce/Parker.

    Many fans are watching both at the same time - left eye on BT and right eye on DAZN

    Good card. Someone is getting chinned in that main event. I watched Lara’s last fight and he was absolutely blowing out of his arse then pulled a knockout from nowhere. Wood looked vulnerable against Conlan but has knocked out 2 good operators in his last two fights in the final round so clearly carries power through a fight.

    Main event has potential to be a cracker.

    Eddie finally puts a good card on and he clashes.

    Unlike when he had the the big arm of sky, he is batting on the smaller platform

    This will be a better fight than Joyce Parker if we are being honest. Hopefully the main events don’t clash. Hughes Galahad will be a stinker though and Harper is moving up from 130 to 154.

    So F*CKING annoying. I do sweet fanny Adam’s 51 weekends of the year and the one weekend I’m away on a stag do Eddie and Frank both put on fun shows.

    The main event is a cracker. Massive risk for Wood.

    Can't see the Hughes/Galahad fight being anything other than a stinker

    Outside of Marshall and Shields any bird welterweight and above is absolutely garbage… that’s why Jonas jumped up 4 division and chinned someone in 2 rounds and Harper can jump up 3 to fight Rankin.

    Think Lara walks through him. Wood has decent power but it just comes out at unexpected times, and I don’t think it’ll dent Lara. Wood for me needs to be as fit as he’s ever been and on his bike potshotting for 12, throwing the odd big power shot in to try and keep Lara honest. Be interested to see the betting odds for this one.
