    Buatsi and Bakole's turn to lose tonight.

    I know losses are part of the sport. However. I'd love to see statistics on Boxxer's signings since getting the sky deal, from prospects to headliners, their boxers are virtually all getting defeated, and usually within a few fights of their Boxxer deal. Never seen a promotional company with a TV deal with a major broadcaster in the UK ever lose so many boxing matches like Boxxer.

    Even Spencer Brown had a pop at him last night.

    He focused on women's boxing quite heavily and unfortunately for him, people aren't interested.

    His stable is now basically Callum Simpson and Adam Azim

    His fighters are losing in tough fights. Would you rather them fight no hopers?

    Guessing it's more with the contract needing renewing, he doesn't have much to offer at the moment. Given the shape Bakole came in, that really was a bad career move.

    Isn’t it strange that while Boxxer and Matchroom shifted focus to women’s boxing, Frank hasn’t and he’s now streets ahead of them both in the uk ?

    Eddie puffing his chest out over Nina Hughes & Shazza Courtenay and Frank was signing the likes of Nick Ball & Moses Itauma

    Frank dipped his toes into women’s boxing but kept his focus firmly on the men. Look how hard it still is to win a world belt, ask Hamzah Sheeraz. Here in South Wales, you’d think Lauren Price was Roberto Duran the way the media go on about her but I’m guessing it’s easier to pick up belts in women’s boxing than it is to pick up some Pokémon cards.

    are you trying to say that womens boxing is the cause of their current run of form? bit of a stretch...

    Out of legitimate belts, the 4 main world titles, European title, British title..

    In male boxing, Shalom just has only ONE, single male champion currently and it's at domestic level - Callum Simpson holding the British title.

    Eyes off the prize. If they hadn’t filled their cards with women’s boxing, they would have had to fill them with prospects that perhaps would have become champions. That’s what Franks done. It takes money and airtime away from men’s boxing and ultimately will reduce the amount of boxers that get to elite level. So we’ve got loads of female world champions. Stick them all on a PPV and see how that sells.

    Yeah there's no shame in losing to Callum Smith. Nonetheless, Boxxer have had some big losses recently. Interesting to see how Ben Whittaker gets on this year as they've invested alot in him and Azim.

    Yeah, but Whittaker has already been exposed. That draw should have been a loss. And it's very clear he has a massive lack of power.
