    I don't want to pay for all 3 cards. But i do want to support the sport by paying. I have bought quite a few cards in the past - Usyk-Dubois, GGG-Canelo etc. etc.

    But since we have 3 cards next month, i only want to buy 1 and i can watch the replays of the other 2 the next day.

    Which card is worth buying? I am leaning towards Benavidez-Zurdo.

    Both Benavidez-Zurdo and Wardley-Dubois are bangers.

    I only plan on buying Wardley v Dubios because it's gonna be a bloodbath.

    Usyk/Rico has next to zero interest for me. I'll watch the highlights and Rummy's post fight review instead.

    If I had to choose between the three I would buy Benavidez-Ramirez, it's the main event that interests me the most.

    All 3 ! Rico may have only got 2% chance to win but he is from my homecountry.

    "Next to zero".

    That's because short of Usyk standing still with his chin out there's zero chance he loses. It's not going to be remotely competitive, and is an absolute **** take of a title defense.

    I'd say Ramirez vs Benavidez. I can see Wardley vs Dubois being a barnstormer but potentially being over within 3 rounds, Ramirez and Benavidez will likely be all-action and go the distance. For the quality of their undercards, none of them should be PPV, really. No other sport fleeces its fans as much as boxing does and it's a significant reason why it's gone from being one of the most popular sports in the world to a niche sport over the last 30 years. Not even going to address the other "title fight."

    All three are worth watching in this preference for me , Wardley v Dubois brutal but short imo with Wardley the winner , Benavidez v Ramirez high level non stop until Benavidez stops him mid to late , Usyk v Rico who knows what we are going to get but it’ll certainly be an interesting watch .

    I'm probably most excited for Wardley V Dubois. It is a 50/50 fight between two massive punchers for a HW title.

    Zurdo V Benavidez is a great fight too.

    The pyramids fight is exhibition boxing only, the other two should be worth a look.

    Outside of the chance of missing a Tokyo Douglas style upset, I think Wardley v Dubois is the most fascinating of these. Zurdo is tough but he's too slow and doesn't hit hard enough to deter Benavidez IMO.
