    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.

    Yeah the fights on the card are fine but the event is awful. It’s like going to a 3 hour parents evening.

    Maybe he's just exhausted, supplying air to his massive swede.


    I like The Saint though, he always has this look like he knows what's being said is utter bollocks, but hey, he's getting paid

    Let’s hope not or I’m going to bed. I knew this card would be overrated.

    Hope Zhang smashes him to pieces.

    Public floggings and limb removal is their idea of a good time.

    They don't adjust their events to suit us. Really small time on our part.

    This has taken so long, I've almost run out of enthusiasm by now, this is the equivalent of chatting a girl up in a bar all night, getting her back to your room, pulling down your boxers and then falling asleep

    Zhang v Parker’s a good fight I’m going for Zhang to KO Parker in 3.

    Anyone seen Joey 12 and Jack Catterall in the same room?

    They suck the life out of boxing fans time and again.

    There’s one fat ******* Saudi in the front row who was on his phone the entire first minute of round 1
