    Crap.

    Linares has lost his last 3, all at the weight below.

    Clashing with Buatsi vs Azeez. That's a shame when there has been so many weekends this year without a UK show

    Surely they know they’ll struggle to get more than about 10,000 viewers going up against Buatsi v Azeez on Sky?

    Waste of time for Jack. Linares is completely washed.

    With Liverpool as the venue I wonder if this will be the event Callum Smith will get a run out. After the Beterbiev injury Hearn was saying they will look to get him out while waiting for the rearranged date

    Class act outside of the ring too. Carries himself well.

    Terrific value for we DAZN subscribers, no extra £27 here.
    Jack Catt’ v the shadow that was Jorge, plus Callum against another no hoper.
    No doubt there will be a “guaranteed” 10 x 2 minute, undisputed “world” title bout to cap it all off!
    Hearn better have an extra injection of hype, before enthusing to us, about this bilge!

    It's not an exciting or attractive fight. Linares is completely finished and worth absolutely nothing.

    I imagine they are hoping that his name is enough of a draw to brainwash a few casuals. As good as Linares was and he was in a couple of cracking UK fights that was so long ago now that I doubt he holds enough relevance.

    Not all cards will be great, but i don't mind some cards like this if they are the only event that night. If as reported this is 21/10 then it's pointless as 95% of fight fans will be watching Buatsi and the echo will be half empty even after the inevitable seat filler giveaways.
