    Grinds my gears these late cards. Totally ruins the event. Got a flight to catch in the morning. Going to have give the AJ fight a miss. See how Zhang and Parker get on though.
    Who benefits from the main event starting at bloody midnight? Kids cant watch others have stuff to do Saturdays. Crazy

    I'm going to bed, will watch it in the morning.

    The fights organised might be brilliant but im finding these cards tough going.

    Shite atmosphere, stupid time gaps, ridiculously late finishes.

    I'm very much losing my enjoyment of the sport

    Same mate, have to wake up early to take my daughter to her extracurricular activities. Have to fit gym in tonight too. Will end up watching the Joshua fight in the gym.

    They cater these cards to virgins who live in their parents basement. I know that for a fact because that was me 20-odd years ago.

    Don't want to insult their culture but Arabs really don't know how to cut loose and have a good time.

    Lol. They do behind closed doors, the rich ones that is. They are far wilder than the average westerner.

    The average Brit will have a few pints down the local club, maybe throw some darts and do a couple of lines if they are feeling it. The rich Arabs will be coked to the high heavens and use some of the most beautiful whores on the planet as human toilets.

    These cards are painful, zero atmosphere and you could write a novel between fights. To think people actually pay for this.

    Interviews, everyone too scared to say the wrong thing. Just make sure to thank Turkey Al whoever and you’re good to go. Absolutely pathetic. Frank Warren had to check himself.

    The TV audience in the USA.

    Same reason events like Lewis v Bruno was at 1am outdoors in Cardiff. In October.

    Have to question why Saudi allow it tbh, they're putting the money up and it's already 2am there.

    Really looking forward to this next fight. Proper 50-50 in my book and an good clash of styles which should lead to an interesting fight.

    If Zhang can hurt Parker early-ish then I don't see any way back but if it goes long you have to fancy Parker to take most of the later rounds.

    Can't read anything into the Joyce fights imo. I don't believe in triangle theories really anyway but it's even more irrelevant here due to the different styles of the fighters involved. A hard hitting southpaw was always going to cause big Joe problems and similarly Parker was always going to struggle against someone who can match his pace and energy but is more durable and hits harder.

    Leaning towards Parker as it's got closer as think he'll be too busy for Zhang while staying away early on. An early Zhang KO wouldn't surprise me in slightest though.
