    Frank's selling the company to pretend army Jim, for Jim's fake medals and a dictionary he's never used.

    Turner v Farrell is a good fight. If Henry does a real job on Tom then that would be a statement.

    No idea about Chamberlains opponent- hopefully he’s a decent euro type who will come to fight.

    I’m ok with Adeleyes opp as he was deemed good enough for Hrgrovic to fight recently and he gave it a go in that fight.

    I think Adeleye should have been given a tougher opponent since he’ll fight Wardley next for the British Title at the end of the year.

    I don’t see much difference between this card and the other one at York Hall in February also headlined by Adeleye, but that was called a “Prospects” show, whereas this one is a regular BT card.

    It’s annoying that we have to wait 2 months for the next good bout on BT between Liam Davies and Jason Cunningham which is a great matchup, but that could clash with Matchroom’s show on the same date, and the BT undercard is absolutely dreadful unfortunately.

    Hopefully when TNT is announced the cards have a few more competitive contests.

    Maybe but this guy looks like Adelayes best opponent so far. Didn't do much with Hyrgovic but good record otherwise. Im not sure how good or otherwise I think Adelaye is but hes a big tough lad and as such interesting. But one thing I will say is if he loses this, added to his struggle with Sokolowski, it's a long way back to a Wardley fight.
    My guess is a points win so that puts ius back to square one. Wondering how he'll do with Fabio, who would then be easily the favourite.

    I've no issue with the opponent as Adeleye is hardly a seasoned pro, but this fight is an easy win, he's fought one puncher and was KOed after multiple knockdowns.

    Fair comment Sean. Since making the one you quoted yesterday ive looked at the guys record and it flatters to deceive under closer scrutiny. Hes obviously been brought here to get stopped and if he does they're going to say Adelaye did what Hyrgoivic did. He also look's pretty old even for a heavyweight boxer.
    Re your first bit mate I saw an interview with David where he said he'd go on his own path, which gave me the distinct impression he might, like Clarke, not take a shot at Fabio even if offered. He was pointing out that this guy had boxed in the WSB and done well. I looked and couldn't find any record of that though it doesn't prove he hasn't of course. If as expected he wins he SHOULD be offered it and Wardley will want a fight fairly soon. So will he take a fight against a boxer who has much better wins than himself on the strength of that plus a debatable win over no disrespect but a trial horse?

    I would watch but there’s a show tomorrow so I’m giving this one a miss. There’s been a lot of cards on recently too.

    It’s a good card for York Hall to be fair. Farrag Braithwaite I should have watched but thought it was on later.
