Since the fight is on PPV I'll be expecting a decent undercard. Atm Boxrec have John Ruiz fighting an 8 rounder and a 2 fight noob in a 6 rounder. How ****ing exciting. If Sky have any sense they'll pick up Dawson/Johnson II which is on the same night and put that on as well and I hope Sauerland/Hayemaker put a few more decent matchups on the card. Something like Karo Murat-Tony Dodson would be alright.
I have heard whispers that Groves might be on the card as well- probably bull****, though. As for Ruiz, thank God he's easing himself back into the frame with an 8-rounder- with the kind of intensty and pace that he fights at, thank Christ he's being sensible. As you put it, Ish, 'How ****ing exciting':good. I don't see how the casual fan will even be interested in Dawson-Johnson II, though. I'm fairly confident we'll all be on streams on the 7th in the early hours, unfortunately. Let's face facts, the fight is already being billed as 'Haye V The unstoppable bomemoth'. They intend to market and sell it that way. I've never once heard Sky mention Valuev's boxing ability!
no need to worry. Mr exiting John Ruiz is fighting. hip hip hooray. If they get a decent main support i'll probably buy it. Not how it is now though.
atsch I forgot about the untelevised card he's on. In that case, ignore my first sentence but feel free to laud and appreciate the rest of what I've written as usual:yep.
Groves has become an unfortunate casualty of Setanta's demise. From a selfish point of view, as my favourite prospect, I am annoyed that I haven't seen any of him in ages. Looking at things from his point of view, it must be wank missing out on vital, constant action in the ring- he may be getting world-class sparring but I'm sure he'd rather be in the ring at this point in time. I just hope a deal is sorted out for Hayemaker pronto. It would be great if he could get on the Haye-Valuev card, though. This card needs beefing up and soon. What a crap card it is. I can hear Smith now screaming in his twatish voice 'coming up next a former world champion- ladies and gents, after the break get ready for Ruiz. It could get exciting'. Watt chirps in 'Ruiz is completely schooling this guy in the clinches- I've not seen anything like this before... WOW, call an ambulance Smitty, I feel feint'.
This undercard should have Ruiz, Price, Groves, Matthews and a few German prospects. Price is gone, Groves won't be on it, Matthews is gone, well done Hayemaker.
