    I really don’t see the point of this, I suppose we’re never going to see him fight at his actual level.

    Don't understand how he continues to get opportunities and avoid his domestic rivals (Smith and Buatsi).

    Never known a fighter to get so many title shots with such a poor record.

    So off the back of an absolutely terrible fight with Lyndon Arthur he gets a world title shot. Lol.

    Thr Lions in the camp are somewhat confused.

    Smith turned the Benavidez fight down and Buatsi turned Bivol down a few years back.

    Really decent card, but no doubt a PPV.

    Again, I just cannot see how this does any numbers whatsoever. By the end of the year, the cost of DAZN including PPV could easily be £600

    I'm looking forward to this card already and hopefully they'll be at least couple of good fights added to the card. It's a shame most likely it will be on PPV, which beyond the odd exception just seems to be the norm, unfortunately.

    Tunde is a ****. He basically is putting Yarde in another life or death fight, yes for the purse. Instead of building him up to be a consistent operator he takes these ridiculous chances thinking Yarde is on world level when frankly he isn't. Benividez will end his career, he is a glorified journeyman at this point tbh.

    Yarde will get beaten up badly. Hopefully he comes out ok.

    Looking forward to this. I'm rooting for Yarde, he could get the upset. His career/matchmaking has been so strange. Lacks direction.

    Smith needs an opponent now and Hearn will probably stick him with Spider Richards I reckon. Pointless and a crap match up if it happens.

    Nothing against Yarde. But I can't root for him with that weapon of a Trainer/Manager he has. I think he will fall well short. I don't think he's remotely near good enough. His matchmaking for building a fighters ability has been poor. But commercially, it's been great.

    I would say Groves, but not much in it. Either way he is much better than Yarde.

    Has David fought anyone worth watching? Don't feel like he has fought anyone I wanted to see.
