    Not showing the undercard was a masterstroke IMO. Harks back to the biggest days of ITV boxing, when it was straight into Jim Rosenthal at ringside for the main event.

    That's where Hennesey went wrong with ITV4 IMO. Cut the show to an hour, go straight into the main event and show undercard highlights if it finishes early. It ain't going to please the purists or the hardcore but it's the best reward for the lowest risk and is the best bet we have for getting boxing back on terrestrial regularly.

    Hennessy needs to continue putting Fury in competitive fights on C5 so we don't have anymore Haye/Harrision situations.

    100% agree. Enjoyed the build up. Build the profiles of the main men,
    hook the fish(public) then main event. Undercard highlights after, even
    though most will switch off.

    For its time slot they say it is was the best. 10 till 11.30 isn't 8 or 9pm viewing.

    Great news. This is a great step for boxing as a whole. May'be, just may'be, hopefully, boxing will be a main stay on regular TV over in England. And may'be that will rub off in the States and boxing will be back near the top where it should be.
