    I thought tonight was an excellent bill for a Saturday Fight Night. 3 good quality contests and some other big names on bill in tune ups. Really good night of boxing for the hard-core fan I thought. What are peoples opuni99ns ?

    good card on paper, good card in reality. thats what happens when you dont fill it to the brim with prospects in 1/100 fights. fair enough, he may have had a bigger budget to spend on the card as it wasn't a world title main event, but Hearns been picking up the quality of his cards as of late and touch wood, it continues

    Can someone inform me which fights were competitive fights tonight - just thought I sat through an evening of one side pumpings so I may have missed a fight of the year while having a ****.

    cardle went for it fair play him didn't come off ,the Johnson buglioni fight looked be decent again gd finish .main event wasn't greatest due Browne being so poor but decent performance from whyte but u also had usual 1-100 pointless Blow out fights cox and chisora.Seen a lot worse cards but we all same want more competitive fights rather easy 1-100 shots

    Before the fight my mate text me and was talking about the card and said “is this PPV”. Don’t get me wrong, on paper it was good but weren’t that good. But that’s why I actually started this thread.

    Good card for a free Saturday night of boxing. Dillian impressed me. Still dont think he will win a world title due to the competition out there. Parker and ortiz also beat him.

    More rubbish from sky. The ritson massacre of a blatantly unfit Opponent was a farce.

    Frank buglioni unfortunately proved the a the inevitable does happen eventually, ie that a guy as hittable as bugs is ALWAYS gonna get ko'd early some time. Last night was that time.

    Dillians obese middle aged "opponent" shouldn't be allowed box at all!
    That "fight" was a disgrace. Man could've been seriously hurt last night.

    Very poor stuff overall on sky last night. Again.

    The subscription to Sky Sports is certainly not free and last night was completely one sided pony FFS

    While I'm not proud to pay £20 for Joshua Parker, if I went to a bar, I'd spend more than that and let's be honest watching boxing in a bar is never a great experience particularly during the undercard fights, if they are on at all. Also, it's lovely to be in the comfort of your living room with everything at hand, watching it live and not via some frustrating , inconsistent Internet route. It's great to be home with the family, enjoying the sport that I love . £20, doesn't seem like too bad a deal but obviously it would be great if it was part of the subscription. As always ' the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away '.

    Some miserable people on this forum, literally never ever happy... I enjoyed it definitely back to the standard Saturday night fight nights used to be. Suppose some will say youbcant be a proper boxing fan if you enjoyed last nights
