This content is protected Undercard: Eithan James (10-0) - Lee Appleyard - (19-7-1) Title fight Oronzo Birardi (6-0) - TBC Owen Cooper (8-0) - 8 rounder Macaulay Owen (6-0) - 6 rounder Amaar Akbar (3-0) - 6 rounder Boma Brown (1-0) - 4 rounder Great main event, one Liam Davies should win. Dreadful undercard though to be honest. Esepcially since it's Queensberry's first show in almost 2 months after the York Hall Friday night show headlined by David Adeleye on June 9.
Cracking Main event and the chief support should be fun. They just needed to add 1 more solid fight to make it very good. I think Yarde might be headlining on July 15, if so hopefully that has McCann v Baluta and Essuman v Scarf
Essuman Scarff could land on the Parker Richards card considering Scarff is from Derby ? Where did you hear the news about McCann Baluta ? I'd be shocked if Warren puts McCann in with Baluta to be honest. Hopefully Yarde fights Joe Smith Jr which was mentioned earlier. Davies Cunningham is a great fight but the undercard is one of the worst I have seen. Just unbeaten prospects against journeymen. Lee Appleyard has only had 1 fight in almost 2 years.
It’s my understanding that McCann v Baluta is agreed and there just working out what card it lands on. This was about a month ago I heard though, so I guess the situation could have changed. Parker - Richards is a good, solid & even matchup, but not one I’m particularly looking forward to watching TBH. If Essuman - Scarff lands on that then fair enough, but with Fury messing about I’m hoping Frank does a few stacked action cards in London instead. I can’t see Frank putting Yarde in with Smith Jnr coming off a defeat. I’m expecting a useful euro and a former name - somebody like Igor Mikhalkin
Frank’s undercards make Matchroom’s look like the type of shows Don King used to put on in the 90s. Woeful isn’t the word. He’s protecting fighters that no one cares about. They don’t sell tickets cause he only puts shows on in London or Telford. He gets them to 12-0 in 4/5 years with no momentum (WBO Europe belt or WBC International Silver belt ]) until they either leave him or disappear from the game completely .
Frank has a massive stable of prospects, how do you think these kids should be built to have a chance at succeeding in the game and gaining experience? Who are these fighters that “nobody cares about” I’ve never read so much nonsense. If you’re referring to the Telford show, most of these kids are from that region which is why they are booked on that show. Your post is just bizarre
Bizarre is a bit strong. Who are these kids that are on their way to becoming household names on Frank's shows ? Who are these future world champions? At least if some of these prospects met, one of them would get some momentum and hopefully push on. He's heading shows with fighters like Hutchinson and Burton. He's even managed to halt the momentum of Moses Itauma. His shows are, on the whole, dire and he talks about the profile he gives his fighters on a platform like BT rather than DAZN yet the viewing figures are horrendous. He hasn't created a star in years and when was his last world champion, not Fury as he had little to do with that. It was Sonny Edwards I think and he hopped it to Probellum then Hearn. He's yesterdays man andwhen BT become TNT he may find himself outside looking in. He has a lot of prospects and very very few of them will do anything. Frank's done, he's got no presence in the boxing world other than being Arum's mate and he's 91 yrs old. I'd love him to be like old Frank, the Frank of the 80s 90s and noughties but he's getting old, he's tired ( we're all tired ), his sons aren't up to much and he is becoming increasingly smalltime and it shows in his, non Top Rank funded, events.
This is a laughable post. You’ve now changed the goal posts to “household names”…well Frank has as many of those as Hearn, it’s a ridiculous statement, it’s very rare for a fighter these days to reach that kind of status. If you asking who Frank has with potential star/World title winner, then your taking about; Nick Ball, Moses Itauma, Daniel Dubois, Dennis McCann, Hamza Sheeraz, David Adeleye, Denzel Bentley, Ellis Zorro, Ezra Taylor, Royston Barney Smith, Alloys Jnr, Nathaniel Collins, Sam Noakes, Mark Chamberlain, Willy Hutchinson, Pierce O’Leary, and I’m sure there are many others. Do you even like boxing? The Hutchinson,Burton show you tried to ridicule was an absolute cracker which had 3 or 4 devastating KO’s/good scraps. The Lopez-Conlan card next week is up there as one of the best this year, and if viewing figures are really important to you, BTs will dwarf DAZNs.
Blimey, you’re very aggressive. Pity Franks fighters weren’t more like you, perhaps they’d be better known. No disrespect but that list is the very definition of ‘ not even household names in their own households’. Lopez v Conlan is Top Rank, even I know that and I don’t even like boxing. Sorry for changing the goalposts, I don’t even like football or rugby for that matter. Last weeks show, which I didn’t watch cause I don’t like boxing, at the York Hall, which I don’t even know what that is, had loads of empty seats and it’s quite a small venue apparently, I wouldn’t know, so maybe other people who know more than me, that’ll be everybody, didn’t fancy it either. Hey, what do I know. I don’t even know famous names like Ezra Taylor, Pierce O’Leary ( Dermot’s brother ? ) and Alloys Jnr. What am I like !
Good main event shite undercard, not only there are no opponents but just 6 rounder or 8 rounders. it is interesting he putting more non uk fighters on his shows.
bet the people of Telford are loving these constant boxing bonanzas though Richie pulling some strings?
Because it’s a good catchment area for the midlands and Warren can build shows around Davies and Heaney down the road in Stoke. I think even the misfits did a card in Telford recently.
