    It's a disgrace this card is being promoted as the "5v5" - the logo is even on the microphones and it's being treated as the main event - when there's an undisputed fight with a 42-0 combined record on the bill?

    Doesn't look like this is the case - it's the "4 Crown Showdown".

    Though would imagine there will be sub-promotion that's UK-focused with the undercard…

    My wife burst out laughing when she saw them in the masks.

    That's fair; the broadcast kind of suggests otherwise. Beterbiev and Bivol got a few mins and then it was all cleared out for the 5v5 presser. There are 10 fighters on the stage wearing masks as if they don't know who they're facing!

    Hrgovic looks like he's been in a sauna with that mask and a 3-piece suit on

    Edit: and Wilder's super-heavy mask gives him his excuse for getting tanned off Zhang!

    That Dev fella is an annoying little twat.
    His smug voice sounds like he's taking the **** every time he talks

    This another PPV right?

    That’d be Haney v Garcia, Alvarez v Munguia, Fury v Usyk and this all PPVs on DAZN in the next six weeks. Pisstek if it is.

    Wilder looks and sounds off, doesn't have that spark in his eyes or that energy.

    He sounds more like classic Wilder to me. Slightly unhinged and dangerous.

    A long way from the relaxed, conciliatory man we saw in advance of the December card.

    Hasn't Hgrovic been co-promoted by Matchroom recently?

    The "surprises" keep coming... an awful "undisputed belt" on stage now, that looks like it came from a toy shop, presented by Roberto Duran in garb like something off the Karate Kid

    And now the least surprising thing, the appearance of "his excellency"!
