    Not only is he fighting he looks to be in half decent shape judging by the iFilm videos. Also seems to have had a bit of an attitude change as well.

    Frank but neither are very good to be honest apart from the huge amounts of fights on the Wembley card. Brian Rose headlining on Sky sucks!

    I voted for Matchroom, as I don't care about Cleverly

    The Blackpool card looks very average, certainly not big time Saturday night boxing. Selby is fighting a novice who hasnt a decent win on his record, so this will be a breeze for Selby - very uncompetitive. Clarke - Askin - is ok, but I'm not particularly intrigued by it. Cardle has no punch and I think is over rated, so not really interested in this. Rose v Alcine, has the potential to be a good fight though.

    The ****** card is more intriguing. I like watching Cleverly, he is a top fighter but not so sure about his opponent, I havent looked into his record much. Harrison v Walsh is very intriguing. The flyweight match up of Butler looks like it could be decent, but you never know how good the African is going to be. And Del boy will be in a good fight. So, I would have to say I am more interested in the ****** card.

    I think its sad times for Frank that this is now considered a good card for him, its weak in my opinion, Harrison has barely fought in years, Chisora has a walkover opponent and Cleverly/Krasniqi is another blow to the term "world title fight".

    Frank's for me.

    I can't help but think Sky will be putting pressure on Matchroom at the moment. The Wembley show was poor, Bellew won't have viewers rushing back to watch him headline and although I like Rose, he'll struggle to do decent numbers. With Brook injured again they'll struggle to do 20 decent shows a year. Particularly if they have to load some up to get them PPV like Froch V Kessler.

    Potential new signing according to Eddies twitter could bolster the ranks, hope its someone established though but could well be Campbell.

    Do we really need a thread and poll to tell us which one of these cards is better. It's not even a close debate and i bet more people watch the Boxnation card then they do the Sky one even with only 200,000 subscribers.

    Now if you'd made the thread about which was better between the Cleverley-Krasniqi card and the Burns-Gonzalez card that would be more interesting. Both are facing their mandatories, both have an interesting undercard fight: Walsh-Harrison/Choi-simpson. As of now though the Cleverley card is miles better better then the Burns one so Frank's card on saturday is better then the next two Hearn cards...i think all independent boxing fans without an agenda can agree on that.

    :lol:

    You actually think they have that many?

    Also you say the Cleverly card is better then the Burns one? :-( Simpson/Choi>>> anything Frank has produced this year.
