If only he had the talent of Callum Smith to go along with his market look and ticket selling he could have been the next big star from Britain.
Bla bla bla same old boring anti-Boxnation bollocks. They've been going for 2 and half years you idiot, of cause there hasn't been enough time for someone to become a star who fought exclusively on Boxnation. Name me who the first boxing star that Sky created exclusively? Probably Hatton from around 2000 onwards and that was a good 12 years from when they started showing boxing in the late 1980's. You're a total hyprocrite too as you stated you're not watching the card on saturday and yet you watched the Fury fight haha
Solaris,TX.....Buglioni has a good following & will get bigger providing he is winning & matched carefully. Boxnation is certainly a good point in limitation wise.So how do you get past that? The wildcard could be BT sport as they show highlights who knows what agreement they could come to?
You can talk **** about Eddie (who has been a promoter for less time than BN has existed I believe), but when anyone mentions your beloved FW or BN then you pull out all the excuses. :huh Utterly embarrassing.
Going by the quality on show on Saturday i forsee a slow painfull death and Boxnation will be dead by the year end
FWIW I was impressed with Bugsy, actually. I will be interested to see what happens when someone makes him back up though. Could he cope?
He looked decent but I'd caution that an impressive showing over Nespro need be taken with more than a grain of salt. Nespro has two semi-respectable Euro-level wins (De Carolis and Signani I...part of a trilogy which Nespro ultimately lost 1-2...all three of them playing hot potato with the dago MW title for a time...) but those were five and six years ago respectively. Nespro is now in his mid-thirties and could never crack an egg in his prime. The other day he was naught but a heavy bag on wheels (loose on the axle, too - his balance on the back foot was very poor even when not getting nailed). Honestly a step down for Buglioni from Stepan Horvath, IMO. At least the Czech was coming off some recent good form (pitching a shutout on my card over the always-game Max Maxwell last year, looking unexceptional but doing fair work, more than Nespro would be apt to do...)
Y'all must've forgot, but just prior to Buglioni vs. Horvath, it was claimed by Steve Bunce that awaiting the victor was sufficient boost up the WBO rankings to get a rumored shot early this year at Robert Stieglitz. :!: This was of course before Stieglitz vs. Abraham III coalesced. That would've been too far a leap too soon, we can all surely agree? I mean, Frank probably would've copped less of a beating than badly deteriorating Abraham will, but it still would've been a one-sided pointless waste of his zero. Absolutely mad they were even considering getting ready to match him with Stieglitz just a few months ago. Way too green, and even with improvement he may well never be on the level Stieglitz is currently on.
Seriously think frank w is massively shooting himself in the foot by not putting his live shows in the uk on bt/make boxnation freeview (obviously keep the repeats/foreign cards behind the paywall) - the biggest problem his fighters have is bugger all exposure outside of the boxing press (think there was an article on buglioni a while back) which obviously will affect attendances at his live shows, can understand why he created boxnation but there just isn't a viable audience there to make their fighters well known in the mainstream public view, which is a shame for buglioni as I reckon he's the only BN fighter with frampton who could be a big star in the British public
Stieglitz is better than he's given credit for in my opinion. Madness if they are/were considering putting buglioni in with him anytime soon, needs a few years of development at least.
