    We get a clash of cards one week followed by nothing for 2-3 weeks.

    Rinse and repeat.

    I blame Eddie Hearn

    It's weird isn't it? Might have to give this a miss as well since it's my old man's birthday.

    Something about Channel 5 boxing is great. Probably because half the time it has Egg on and he is pure entertainment.

    Not sure about this at all, Baraou's tenth fight was a narrow loss to Culcay, who could well be the IBF world champion soon and had some very close fights with high-level operators like Andrade and Derevychenko. I don't see any comparison with Pigford who I agree had fought some extremely poor opposition.

    Favour Baraou here, narrowly but still uncontroversially, but have been wrong many times before!

    Eggington guarantees entertainment. It's a shame he never really got a big break.

    I realise this question is asked every time there's a card on C5, but is the undercard on anywhere?

    The frying pan is heated and the Egg going well so far after 4 rounds.
