    someone at Sky needs to have a word with themselves. I like Macklin vs Gevor but Macklin could be fighting Darren Barker in April so its disapointing. Khan vs McCloskey could be hit and miss.

    Murray and Quigg in international title fights is beyond a joke. The opponents don't look terrible but they are coming to lose.

    Purdy is very very poor for a challanger to Craig Watson. Lynnes or Jennings would have been meaningful fights.

    PPV should be for 50-50 fights. Macklin vs Gevor is the only one.

    Macklin Gevor is alright IF it comes off we know what Macklin fights have been like recently but like you said this could have been Barker

    Barker pulled out once with a legit injury. Macklin pulled out twice to take other fights.

    I would not even have purdy top 15 in Britain

    Young mutely would have been a better opponent

    Isn't Mutley pretty much done? Purdy isn't the best opponent, but I think he's getting unnecessary criticism in this thread. He's better than the likes of Elwell and Lomax for my money, who were two opponents for the last British welterweight champion...

    Wasn't mutely on boxing news saying he is having one last crack and was waiting on a date

    Would say purdy better than elwell but not better than lomax :thumbsup

    At least the Irish will get one win on the night with Murray

    But I think at this stage in his career what a rubbish match up fighting higginson
