Really does show how bad UK boxing is at the moment, and if Frank had a card on it wouldn't make it any better before anyone starts. A 12 fold accy on all the favs pays just under 1/3. Warrens last show barring the main event was equally as one sided. Really is why we can't draw crowds anymore.
You couldn’t make a good show out of both cards. The Sky one is horrendous and the DAZN one isn’t far behind.
two broadcasting megacorporations weren’t able to put on a more interesting fight tonight than the one in a Turkish hotel ballroom
This is one of Matchroom's and Boxxer's weaker cards to be fair to get their fighters out. Opetaia vs Thompson is a world title fight at least so at least we are seeing regular world championship fights on DAZN. The Boxxer card has some good domestic fights on to be fair. It's better than the Queensberry show next Friday but I doubt that you'll start a thread about that. Apparently Wallin beats Joshua so let's see how he does against Gassiev. I am expecting Gassiev to stop him in the second half of the fight.
Proper examples of the issues with women’s boxing as well tonight. Pad both cards out with a load of one-sided female fights in the name of progression and equality, when it’s clearly just about saving money and doing fights on the cheap.
This is very true and I find it a massive turn off sadly. At least we have Vegas later with some good boxers on that card.
Might as well tune in on DAZN for Opetaia vs Thompson and straight into Canelo vs Charlo! The Scotney fight isn't competitive even though it's for a world title but it's opening the show I believe. Rhiannon Dixon vs Thanderz is actually a good fight on paper in my opinion as I think it'll be competitive. The Caroline Dubois fight won't be competitive.
It’s that, and it builds up women’s fights to the extent they can be promoted as main and co-main events down the line despite zero interest. There’s more hype about women’s fights on Sky than the men.
The cards tonight are horrific. The cost of living isn’t turning fans away, it’s the fact that cards and fights are of terrible quality. what has happened to Adam smith, I’ve heard various rumours from gambling addiction to health issues. Sky need him back. Shalom is out of his depth.
