Chris Billam-Smith vs. Mateusz Masternak & Lee Cutler vs. Kingsley Egbunike Round by Round.

Good effort, great stuff.

 

I've never been a massive fan of the Cruiserweights, but I like the way this division is shaping up for 2024 (assuming CBS wins tonight).

Some combinations of CBS, Riakporhe, Okolie likely in 24.

 

And you'd think - for the British casuals' money if nothing else - at least one of them will face Opetaia.

 

I think so, I reckon they will get the big domestic scraps in first as they will sell. Could see CBS getting another stadium fight - then Opetaia or Goulamirian later in the year

 

CBS seems to be Boxxer's rare ticket-seller and has a captive football stadium audience in the summer. Opetaia too good for him I think but not sure how it pays Boxxer back without a big crowd.

 

Fun scrap. Cutler could really do with learning how to feint before some of his attacks

 

Really enjoyable scrap that, credit to both men.

Cutler clear winner but certainly not an easy night for him.

 

Why was this moved from the main? It's not through yet.

 

Tonight opens up with 2 little girls with one a Hennessy, then a decent fight followed by 2 more skirts.

From a boxing fan's view, this is destroying the fan enthusiasm and build up to main events.

Time to get male and female only cards giving the viewers a choice whether to watch or not.

This is no different to watching 20 mins of Spurs v Newcastle then being forced to watch 20 mins of Arsenal W v Chelsea W before the Spurs v Newcastle game returns to the screen.

Absolute garbage.

 

Feels weird to have world championship boxing on a Sunday after last night.

Pretty boring card it has to be said but the main should be a good scrap.

 

Couldn't agree more mate. The last fight was a cracker and felt like it had sparked the evening into life and then this comes along and kills the vibe. you can hear it in the venue too.

If women's boxing was as good as we're constantly told then it'd be successful on its own...

 

Women's boxing can only succeed on it's own when you have the top dogs against each other, you only have to look back at Shalom's all women card he put on with the Shields Marshall, the 2 main events were brilliant.

 

That English title fight was a little cracker.

That last fight has totally ruined the atmosphere that was built up previously.


Tick in the box completed though

 

Christ, hurry the **** up.
