Honestly think that card is overall better than Cheeseman card tbh. Cheeseman vs Garcia is easily the best fight but every single undercard fight on this card is better than the best undercard fight on that card imo
Did you take points off Jr vs Degale because it's ppv? If so fair enough. Cheesman and Bowen cards can't be a 4 and Jr vs Degale a 6 if there is no discounting going on.
Joyce vs Stiverne is decent fight. I do expect Joyce to win easily but I rate Joyce highly. Stiverne has been relegated to bum level because he lost to Wilder but he hasn't actually lost to anyone else. He hasn't taken beatings he has just been inactive. Ffs Wilder can destroy anyone on his day. Bloke is one of the biggest hitters out there. Stiverne isn't even that fat.,
This card on saturday in hindsight other than the main event and co, i thought it was really poor card, too many mismatches against opponent not only will not fight back but will get knocket out easily. Imo i was correct, i like the main event and even thou the spider fight was a mismatch,it wasn't on paper. 4/10 before and the same after. At least the mismatches were over quickly unlike alot of warren cards, where the mismatches linger like a bad smell.
40% is a pass mark at universities in UK.. so on that basis 4/10 would be a pass. Silly anyway, just say the show was good, bad or alright. I say it was alright.
yeh this card on 23rd could be decent but it could go the other way with two really dull fights and two mismatches like the fights on sat
I agree completely there are too many cards. Matchroom could easily cut their shows by a third and still dominate the sport domestically with increased quality per show. It's probably Sky and Matchroom greed that leads to these clear "filler" cards. Anything these days that has an inkling of star quality is automatically PPV. Warren is guilty of this as well, far too many 'TBA' cards and way too many pull-outs. Again if he cuts down the number of his shows the quality would be so much better.
With sky I don't think its because theres too many cards, to me its more the fact there are too many PPV cards They have to put most of the decent domestic fights on as PPV filler to make the **** weak main events worthwhile but tbh the value still isnt there, If they had less PPV fights they could strengthen there Saturday night cards BT actually generally has ok shows IMO but they don't have many fighters that can command PPV so they spread it around a bit better. ITV gets criticized for **** weak PPV but tbh their shows are miles better than regular sky shows, and 95% of BT shows too, So nobody seems to be doing better for free.
People probably are jealous of Hearn, but i don't think a single person feels emasculated by Eddie bloody Hearn. And even so, this show was bad so that comment is irrelevant.
Seeing as i've said in this thread i thought the card was bad, despite not actually asking me, i'll answer. DeGale/Eubank shouldn't be PPV and isn't exactly great. Leicester show is probably worse than saturdays show, as his Albert Hall show.
