    Might as well have a thread for tonights matchroom show 'NXT GEN'. Little series of shows Eddie is doing with some of his young fighters.

    Coverage starts at 7.00 on sky sports facebook page and then at 10.00 on sky sports 1 where they will show 3 fights.

    Some decent fights on the bill. Craig Richards fighting for the southern area title against Alan Higgins. One of the fights that has caught my eye is Reece Bellotti vs Dai Davies, which is a British title eliminator. 'Bomber' Bellotti looks like a real talent.

    Good idea but the WWE won't be happy with the NXT prefix...

    People are talking about this prospect show as a great idea. Look around the country these prospects show are on every week it just happens to be that this one is on sky.

    I'd suggest people watch this tonight and if their happy watching it then nexxt week go and buy a ticket to your local show.

    Well yeah, it's a good idea that it's on TV. Not everyone has the luxury of going to local shows so it's cool that they can get some air time. I think some Micky Helliet shows get shown late on Channel 4 or something too now too

    Surely having a prospects show under the matchroom banner or eye is a great thing for young boxers. Good for Sky for giving young fighters a stage to be fair. I doubt it will rate huge but a chance for young talent to get used to certain things.

    Kept crashing and buffering. In the end I had to give up, just as the Hyland/Cope fight was warming up.
    Seems a lot of others suffered the same problems. Shame as I had been enjoying it but it just got worse and worse

    Craig Richards vs Alan Higgins for the SMW southern area title live now on Sky Sports 1. Looking pretty tasty from these early rounds.

    What we reckon about Higgins conditioning? Can only see him fading in the 2nd half of the fight...
