    I find the quality of the undercards on Fwanks shows woefully poor and uninspiring, does he really lack such depth in his stable to make quality cards for TV viewing? Now i have no issue with the main events but if you compare the quality Matchroom are putting out even by last night's standards they still do not compare. It's a no contest. Fwank really needs to step it up.

    Frank’s old school. He still thinks it’s ok to have a prospect v a guy with 17 losses as chief support and 2 guys with over 100 losses further down the bill. This show would be better for everyone if it started at 9.30 with DennisMcCann and then the main event. Willy Hutchinson was meant to be fighting for the British Title but pulled out. Matchroom sell us some shite but undoubtedly they put on better promotions. Ultimately Frank has a few headline fighters, loads of kids and little in between.

    I think in general you are correct but last nights card was abysmal

    Said this on another thread.

    Willie Hutchinson was due to fight Lennox Clarke as co main.

    Would have been 3 decent fights then

    In my opinion the PPV ones are usually worse because the budget has gone on the main fight.

    When Hearn is talking about his latest upcoming show, he just lists all the fights on the card as if everyone is a belter and Kugan never challenges him so a lot of PPV casuals think they are getting 5/6 quality match ups. Women's boxing is perfect for him as ' world title fights ' and opponents with ' decent records ' are a fantastic smoke screen. That girl who fought Courteney wasn't even boxercise level. Obviously Smith thought her flailing away in the first couple of rounds were a sign of a high work rate when to anyone but him it was clearly someone who didnt have a clue.

    Frank lost his co main event on Monday.
    I thought last weeks card was fine.
    They lost 3 fights (2 of them good trade fights) to COVID for the Bentley - Hefron show.

    I think for the Gorman card, they lost Cacace v Woodstock and Metcalf v Flatley to Covid - 2 very good fights.

    Its a similar issue to what Matchroom have faced. With all the restrictions in place and Civod fall outs, I think it’s unfair to go after either Frank or Eddie at this point in time.

    Undercards are becoming shite everywhere, not just frank. The product is just continuously getting diluted.

    But if your gonna give me fights like class fights like Dubois Joyce on non ppv , I don't care for the undercard

    I'd like 2 good fights a show. I don't see why that's too much to ask

    A Frank card unlikely to finish early unless he has the urge to hit the Spearmint Rhino club for a pint with Bazza Earn.
