    wow, I was looking forward to seeing what he looked like at cruiser, we still have Chisora though.

    Was actually looking forward to seeing how Cleverly looked at Cruiser.

    Always find it strange when a fighter gets injured a few days before a fight, leaves the Copperbox card pretty threadbare now but at least we've got the Stevenson/Kovalev fights on after that.

    Be interesting to see what kind of shape he was in. Has looked huge every time I've seen him.

    Absolutely. Chisora's usually value, but Skeete as chief support is never great. His fights aren't exactly thrill a minute.

    Frank could have done with a bumper show after Saturday to capitalise on the spike in interest in boxing. All the pull-outs make it a missed opportunity.

    Yeah this is a poor card now. 2013 must go down as a poor year for old fish eyes shows.

    Yes,thats true of both major promoters.Invariably the bill on the night looks nothing like when first advertised,and not for the better either.I usually smell a rat,but not in this case.I think Cleverly was probably looking forward to this.Also,cruiser is probably his correct weight.Looks a big lad to me.
