    Some good, competitive fights on this show. Just been announced by Eddie Hearn.

    I like the Gamal Yafai vs Sean Davis fight. Hopefully Sam Eggington can win the the European and Frankie Gavin vs Dave Ryan could be fun.

    What we saying chaps??

    Not to fussed about gavin v ryan. Wide points gavin win. Davis Yafai will b a good fight. Just give Yafai edge as I don't think davis has the power to keep him off.

    Looking forward to see who Lennox Clarke gets matched with and harper Kelly is a good battle of unbeaten for mids title.

    I thought it was absolute pish to be honest. Yamai-Davis is OK, but I find it very difficult to get overly excited about.

    Gavin-Ryan will be rubbish. I like Egginton so I'm always happy to watch him, though I've never seen this Rodriguez guy so again it's difficult for me to be overly interested. Main event is shite.

    Hopefully I'm wrong but I just don't seen any of them turning out to be that competitive or fun

    I presume Gavin is now at 140? Too little to late imo.

    Eggingtons opponent is awful, scraped a SD in his last fight against a bum. Gavin vs ryan is English level. Yafai vs davis is probably the pick for me. I'll be watching the Warrington Martinez card i think

    These are pretty poor fights for the entrance fee being charged. Was expecting Eggington to be stepping up after last performance. Will also be watching the Warrington card.

    This is a terrible card. Not every fight needs to have a Birmingham fighter involved ffs. Should at least have an interesting fight like Dave Allen v Ian Lewison on it. Yafai and Eggington are both in worse fights than their last ones and Gavin needs to just retire ffs, that's such a boring fight on paper.
