Can just hear it now for the Yank Gary Cornish - undefeated with all the usual shyte. Adam Smith sounded like he just seen his first f anny
Yeah, I heard Fred Kassi was robbed badly against Breazeale last year. I haven't seen the whole fight. Breazeale's coming off a win over Amir Mansour, who has a win over Kassi. There's little evidence that Breazeale's any better than Martin. I won't be too fussed about watching this. It's sad that the quality standard of American heavyweights have gone from such as high to such a low in a couple of decades. It really needs to be addressed. Breazeale can go ahead and prove me wrong, but I suspect he'll prove to be a soft touch. And I'm sure that's what Hearn is banking on.
So it looks like Hearn is going to go down the Kell Brook route with Joshua. Let the battle of the mandatories begin! I can't stand Froch, but at least he was the boss and made the right noise on when it came to who he was fighting. Will we ever see AJ, Brook or Selby in any of these top fights? I very much doubt it.
Terrible fight. Will be another 1st or 2nd round KO. Stiverne, Duhaupas, Jennings or Szpilka would have been much better
It will be as Sky and Matchroom are not silly. Why leave money on the table when people will buy it? Every other promoter would do the same. Don't like it don't buy it but the reality is hundreds of thousands will buy it.
of course it is, both men unbeaten, the "Pudding" was apparently ranked number 1 (above Joshua) at the 2012 Olympics so there is the boring storyline. Plus we have a "Stacked" card Mr P, Groves Vs Murray, two fighters who so far haven't been good enough at world level. I can hear Eddie Hearn now "it's a quality card, a great night of very even fights". Also as a Sky Sports subcriber myself and a football fan somebody will have to pay for the football deal that kicks in next season, that was big money so it has to come from somewhere so get your wallets out. But don't start Mr P, you'll get the old "it's only the price of a few pints" and the classic "if you don't want to watch it then don't buy it" and be called "tight" or "poor".
