    I'm looking forward to the main event. I think (hope) the styles gel quite well. But surely if Catterall wins his next fight has to be for a belt.

    Main event postponed. Catterall injured.

    Whiney arse and Quagmire were accusing Taylor of ducking when he postponed with an injury. Suppose they’ll change their tune now.

    Probably go ahead with Rhiannon Dixon headliner and BOSH on the undercard.

    Injury apparently......hmmmm

    Sure it's nothing to do with it being on track to do about 3k in a 20k arena. Seat filler sites will be gutted losing out on that business, but never mind its not long until Dalton Smiths next show so they will get plenty of business then.

    What a surprise ! Neither Catterall or Prograis sell tickets.

    With such a stacked undercard you'd have thought they could have kept the show on

    That little gimp on twitter ‘Everything Boxing’ saying they should keep the show on as Rhiannon Dixon and Terri Harper are big ticket sellers :lol:

    I mean Johnny Fisher headlining it at a small Manc venue could have made a little sense as at least he does shift tickets.b

    I do wonder if people like him enjoy the Women's fights or do it for clicks

    I hope Catterall shuts up about Taylor's injury cancellations now.

    No chance this show ever made any money, purely a keeping-busy exercise until a champion can be talked into fighting Catterall. Not that they've any reason to!

    Two days away now, and surprisingly little hype and discussion; I couldn't even find an obligatory Eddie IFL interview.
    Anyway how do people see this going?; Prograis is a bit flat footed so I think Catterall will spend much of the fight pinging him from range, but Prograis does hold genuine power so it will be interesting to see what happens when he connects. I'm not too hot on Catterall (partly because of his style, and partly because he comes across as a bit of a moaner) so I will be rooting firmly for the upset.
