    Rarely do we get a Fight Card where I'm looking forward to every single fight. Rank each fight in order of which one you are looking forward to most. For me:-

    1. Beterbiev vs Bivol 2
    2. Vergil Ortiz Jr Vs Israil Madrimov
    3. Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker
    4. Hamzah Sheeraz vs Carlos Adames
    5. Zhieli Zhang vs Agit Kabayel
    6. Joshua Buatsi vs Callum Smith
    7. Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield

    same as for me, but put Ortiz-Madrimov last. I’m mad I have to watch Madrimov. He hurts the eyes. He’s actually a fantastic fighter, but ugh, that endless feinting.

    There’s a method to his madness. He had freaking Crawford confused and hesitant — that’s insane.

    it’s just not aesthetic to watch.

    True but it was also a weight division above so maybe Crawford noticed power difference between 147 and 154 which made him hesitant. Madrimov would get in Crawfords face and then not let his hands go.

    Its the stylistic clash for me, boxer vs brawler. Madrimov should box Ortiz head off but Vergil gonna have to make it rough if he wants to win.

    Crawford vs Madrimov was a boxer vs boxer, still a good watch for the purists.

    Agree with this pretty much, I’d only swap 4 and 5 around.

    I'm still very intrigue by the Beterbeiv/Bivol rematch.

    Zhang vs Kabayel is one of the most unpredictable and exciting fights on the card.

    1. Beterbiev vs Bivol
    2. Zhang vs Kabayel
    3. Dubois vs Parker
    4. Sheeraz vs Adames
    5. Ortiz vs Madrimov
    6. Stevenson vs Schofield
    7. Buatsi vs Smith

    I saw an interview the other day where Shakur said this

    ''No disrespect to those guys but I'm the best fighter.. that everyone wants to see on that card''

    ''Everybody gonna be watching that poop. Everybody gonna wanna see Shakur. A lot of people act like Shakur is not must see TV... but I am MUST see TV!''

    Er. his fight vs Schofield was the one I was least looking forward to on that bill and ''must see TV'' is not how I would describe Shakur nor even close. Granted, I knew nothing about Schofield and I'm looking forward to it a little more now after watching a brief bit of footage of him and one of interviews. However, I'm looking forward to it more because of him not Shakur. He looks pretty good and comes across well in interview and it looks like he can whack.


    1. Beterbiev vs Bivol
    2. Ortiz vs Madrimov
    3. Big Bang vs Kabayel
    4. Dubois vs Parker
    5. Smith vs Buatsi
    6. Sheeraz vs Adames
    7. Shakur vs Schofield

    Thanks for posting this. I was looking at the card and was getting very upset. My sister bought tickets for a 5pm event. I thought I was gonna miss out on one of the best fight cards in a very long time. Then I realized, the fights are in SA. Fight time in California is 11am. Big smiles for all.
