    Matchroom schedule really digging in.

    BT and Sky Sports boxing schedules can't get close to DAZN right now.

    Manchester? Seems an odd choice. I went to the last show and it was a cracking atmosphere, fuelled by a full house of Forest fans

    I like them both but I don't wanna see this again. As has been pointed out, better than seeing Warrington out there with either of these two, but this fight ends the same way as the first.

    i find bt fight are not far off there last card was good, zhang vs joyce and lopez vs conlan are both good fights. In the uk what makes matchroom stand out is the cordina card, as the katie taylor card doesn't do much for me. boxxer is poor right now,

    Are you a boxing fan or a Matchroom Boxing fan?

    What actually is the need for this comment?

    Lara can definitely be outpointed by someone but I don’t think wood is the one to do it. He gets caught and countered too easily, I don’t see him improving enough in the defence department to win this rematch, it will be the same outcome as the last fight.

    conlan vs Lopez will be interesting, Mick has a very good chance

    Agree, as much as I really enjoyed the first fight and think Wood is a top man I just don't see anything other than a repeat, and a convincing one at that

    Maybe, but I'd like to see a rematch. If Wood can keep his concentration for all 12 rounds then maybe he will get the victory ? He was on course to win last time.
