    The standard of Matchroom shows has plummeted over a considerable time, someone somewhere needs to take a close look at this, snoozefeast

    you hate Matchroom cause eddie persuaded Ricky Burns- the only real top fighter you ever trained, to leave you for Tony Sims/the matchroom gym

    Got to agree Matchroom Cards have been garbage for years and it is great that these are now hidden away on a streaming channel watched by 2-3 hundred people these days.

    Yeah, I struggled to pay attention to last nights card, utterly pointless fights from top to bottom. Fisher for example. I'm not expecting him to go in with a prime Tyson Fury at this stage of is career, but at least make him sweat for a couple of rounds.

    In his prime there’s no doubt he was better, look at the records and who they’ve fought

    Do your homework kid, I took Martin Bakole to Matchroom long after Ricky, why would I do that if I had an issue.

    He thought Burns was the best lightweight in the world when Marquez and Broner were around. He's delusional and always will be.

    I've got to agree, MR opponents are terrible. There's usually at least 1 weight class difference but tbh boxxers same

    I remember being at a Matchroom show 5 years ago and a George Groves world title fight was co main event. Now they’ve got Johnny Fisher fighting at 9pm.
