    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.

    I have nothing against people saying that the dwarf won. And he deserved to win because he had every single disadvantage, as I said.

    I only said that it was not a robbery. Every single weekend there is a "robbery", it's starting to be too much.

    Close fight that could go either side, most likely to the side of the dwarf imho, but a fight where a draw is fair enough.

    People overestimate the KDs.

    1 KD means NOTHING AT ALL unless there is a draw.
    2 KDs means that if you lost by one round you get a draw.

    2 KDs is not something magical that will give you the fight directly. Maybe KDs should have a bigger weight in the scores, we could agree, but that's another story.

    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.

    You actually need a good amount of talent to screw the atmosphere in a zhang vs parker co-main event and an AJ-gnanou main event.

    That's not easy, guys.

    I dont find the card to be so bad, tbh. This same card in wembley, O2 or MGM would be awesome.

    The problem is the problem, and we all know what's the problem here. Religious fanatics are not the right people to organise this kind of events with the right atmosphere.
