I wonder what supplements Eddie is giving Luke for this fight? If I was Lomachenko I would be very wary indeed.
I know. I was kinda hoping Eubank Ryder would be made but this close to the fight it didn’t look like anything decent will happen. Eddie has obviously spent everything on getting Lomachenko here. I could accept that if there hadn’t been such a lack of fight nights here in the recent past.
If I was young Edward I would cancel the card on Friday, or dilute big time, and get some fights on the Loma card. I love watching Loma and knowing myself like I do I will probably end up getting this ppv, but at the moment I feel like I could wait for the YouTube video. Hughie fury vs povetkin doesn't tempt me at all
Hughie v Povetkin gets global interest, if you ask me, certainly beefs the card up no end, two heavyweight contenders, one a young Brit.
Edwards is apparently getting in with Martinez who seems to be his mandatory after beating Andrew Selby.
Edwards will get a decision win and the X Factor style hype train will continue. If Edwards had to go to Mexico under a week before the fight, Like Selby did, it would be a very different story. The lad has done well but he's just lucky to have been managed the way he has, in stark contrast to Selby who I think is a terrific boxer, just terribly managed. Shannon Courtenay getting shoehorned in for another fight perhaps?
I think it's an interesting fight, and am interested to see who wins, but i definitely won't be watching it, i'll go to the bar for that one
Possibly the best two fights on a sky ppv this year going into it? Ruiz v Joshua is full of after timers of course. Guessing Joshua Buatsi will have a decent fight and Charlie Edwards title defence too. Not too bad i guess. Still think the WBSS glasgow show had the two best fights.
Cordina vs Gwynne confirmed for it too, there was also talk of Liam Smith vs Sergio Garcia but i think that card would end up costing Eddie far too much.
I have no idea, he basically surrendered his 0 though, going over so late to fight in those conditions, you can't adapt in that time, especially not when you're also cutting weight. There was something very dodgy about it all.
