    It's a common trend here to take a big steaming Brad all over Matchroom for mostly perfectly acceptable reasons. Constant forced narratives, annoying fanbases, and bad decisions can turn you against a fighter and it happens among Eddie's ranks more than anywhere else.

    So it got me thinking. Despite all of that, which of the Matchroom roster are you a genuine fan of? For me, I like Buatsi because he seems like a good bloke, Ryder (ignoring his recent win) as I just love his style of fighting, Rylan Charlton for beating Joe Laws, and Kash Farooq before he retired as anyone who beats Scott Allan will make a fan out of me.

    Anyway, discuss.

    #teamshanny is still popular on the forum.

    Tough not to be a fan when she's overcome mental elf and menstruation so bravely.

    Agree with this, pointless really getting invested in someone’s career if they never get involved in engaging fights

    I like Anthony Joshua, despite his association with Matchroom. He's just been exploited by a certain promoter. Made lots of money, yes, but used like a Kleenex, over and over again.

    In terms of those I actively look out for - I like Okolie, Buatsi, Callum Smith and Cash. Also can't believe I'm the first one to mention Cheeseman.

    I'm also looking forward to how Galal Yafai gets on.

    Huge fanbase and very popular on this forum - Earn needs to get a move on with booking Wembley Stadium for her redemption fight

    Campbell Hatton is obviously one of the best prospects on this side of the pond and Connor Benn sounds like Iron Mike Tyson in his prime.

    Earn has to be believed that both are going to conquer the world.

    Huge fan mate and stayed loyal when the forum turned on her after her last fight when she was robbed. A horrible time from the start of the weekend period.

    It was an absolute travesty mate and she needed every fan behind her after that weekend.

    Now her fans are slowly returning and the Shanny Army now waiting to hear the date of her redemption fight.

    Was absolutely incensed last weekend when Johnny Fisher's opponent was given Shanny's shorts to wear during the fight.

    Maybe a sign that Earn is looking to get rid of Shanny.
