    I'm not quite getting this obsession some seem to have with venues

    If a fights entertaining,it's irrelevant

    It's not so much an obsession but if someone is baffled why this show is taking place at York Hall then I'll be more than happy to point out that 80% if not more of Frank's shows has been as small time halls between York Hall & Telford Leisure Center.

    Queensbury defence force in full effect

    looking forward to more posts about how wonderful and historic the York Hall is (but nothing about the actual fights)

    Officially announced today. Not sure if it is 10 or 12 rounds. 12 rounds would suit Baluta.
    True but if you want to build a star which McCann can become I don't get the point of him headlining at York Hall at European level. I think Warren is doing these small-hall shows with a good main event so he can fill his dates and then use the excuse of it being at York Hall / Telford to justify a poor undercard.

    It's a great fight in an atmospheric venue. Really can't see the problem.

    It is easier and better to build a star with a full building rather than a bigger venue that looks dead

    Perception is everything a fighter main eventing a show with hardly anyone there how does that look?

    You can always build upwards from smaller packed houses

    Your are spot on with why Warren is doing this regarding his dates but its a no lose situation for him as he might generate a new headliner by doing so

    Surprised its not in Telford

    Hope Mccann wins but it's a risky step up

    How come Raza Hamza gets a shot at the British Title after losing to James Beech Jr? I heard that after Collins wins he’ll vacate the belt leaving it vacant for Hopey Price.

    Because boxing is not regulated and never will be as it suits nobody that benefits from the game , you shouldn't have to ask

    Ain't changing ever

    I agree, Baluta dug deep against Cain and put in a real battling performance. I expect this will be a really enjoyable fight to watch

    I was going for Dennis on points, but I’m starting to lean towards Baluta to come on very strong in the later rounds and take a decision. Cracking small hall fight/show - looking forward to it.

    Really like Dennis as a boxer, very skilful. I'm going for a KO finish from the Maidstone man.

    He's bags of talent, also seems like a nice kid. Future world champ for sure.

    McCann started acting like a bit of a clown today trying to drum up some fake beef after all the smiles yesterday and Baluta wasn't having any of it, just laughing in his face. Then there's the Turkey Teeth, the spray tan, the trying to get the watch into every shot. I was in, now I'm out, I hope Baluta sends this train off a cliff.
