    What's everyone's thoughts about the Boxnation show on saturday?
    I must admit i have always said how hearn has changed the game but there is also something about the bt shows that i like, maybe its the different pundits and presenters to sky i don't know but something about it is a little intriguing.
    I'm also starting to exticed about seeing some of their upcoming fighters as well as sky's like yarde and dubois. I know that they are still a way off sky but at least its more boxing to watch and their shows will keep improving imo. Also OD vs Taylor will probably start around 10:30 so should be able to watch both shows.

    I feel like the Boxnation show is the undercard and the OD vs JT fight is the main event.

    Didn't even realise Hughie Fury was fighting until I just looked, vs some soup can no doubt.

    It's a decent card in all honesty. I'll be up north for the JT fight but I'm pretty gutted to be missing it in all honesty. Saw a clip of the fella Yarde is fighting in what was a proper punch up, so if he can draw Yarde into that it'll be a fun fight. Since the BT thing has started I've found the bulk of their shows to be way more enjoyable, even just because of the less cringey punditry

    I like me some Dempsey personally, not afraid to ask the awkward question to someone's face. Each to their own though I suppose

    Yeah, I like Boxnation shows on the whole. Just put it on another post but I'm probably going to watch the Yarde vs Barayani until 10, then watch the Davies vs Taylor fight on channel 5. If I miss any of the Yarde vs Barayani card (which I probably will) I will watch the re-run on Sunday.

    much better card than Taylor v OD - there are no good fights on the undercard. Easton v a guy with a padded record is all there is plus prospects v jounreyman

    Looking foward to the BN show more as a whole

    It's not a bad card. I'd have liked to watch it but not when Channel 5 has the superior fight.
