Ricky Burns V Jose A Gonzalez & Jamie McDonnell V Julio Ceja + Undercards RBR

Card been good so far, boulden/brophy was good, simmonds/sweeney was bit one sided and fielding did a good job on that pole.

 

I like Simmons, used to see him in the gym (bodybuilding gym)from time to time,always lifted to heavy and his form was ****ed up,nice guy though

 

He's actually going to wear that for the fight?

 

Terrible card so far full of absolute nobodies against nobodies. If you were a casual boxing fan who tuned in at seven you would be incredibly disappointed.

 

Nobodies become somebodies by putting them on tv.

 

If Sky had started at 9pm just showing Choi and Burns people would moan.

 

first round clearly for the polish guy.

 

A bit too much posing from Roberts. A bit more substance would be nice.

 

Boxnation got the same crap for putting the whole card on tv. Fact is most of these fights are uncompetitive and designed to give the home fighter a win. Makes for **** tv.

 

I understand why he only has one stoppage on his record... he poses more as he punches.

 

Like i said give it time,the fight we have had so far we wouldn`t of even seen in the old days of ffn,or if we did it would of been taped and shown after the 1 live fight which was two hours long also most of the fights would of been on the red button if they didn`t decide to show the whole card on normal Sky which is four and half hours long.If the two main fights are **** I will agree with you,we shall see

 

Absolutely, but you have to think of this in terms of entertainment. You can't use half of your TV time filled up with nobodies - they all blend into one and get diluted. The sensible option is to split your fights up, especially if you're on the air for four hours.

Start the show with two exciting fighters against each other with a bit of a name, then stick a couple of rookies in, rinse and repeat until you get to the top two or three fights of the night.

It's one of the things UFC does well when it's on TV, the company carefully places its fights on the card. I'm not trying to start a UFC v boxing debate, I' purely talking from a TV perspective. We're an hour and a half into a big Saturday night fight, and every fight so far has been prospect v journeyman. Because of Fielding's power, at least we got the night off in a relatively exciting way.

Why streak in a mostly empty stadium?
