    Maderna beat Karol Itauma recently. Too decent fights for a York Hall show on Friday to be honest. However, it's disappointing that Queensberry are headlining with these types of fights rather than having them on undercards like Matchroom or Boxxer would.

    Agree. Not sure how they can build profiles of fighters if no one is watching them.

    I must have missed all these fights on the AJ card at the weekend?

    There were a few good fights on "Before the bell" but Matchrooms main card saturday night was poor.

    It was exactly like Boxxer's event on March 25th, the free undercard fights were the best.

    For example, the Cordina Rakhimov card and Taylor Cameron. A similar fight to Zorro Burton was originally Cheavon Clarke against Dec Spelman which was supposed to be on the Wood Lara I card. The two fights on May 12 are good and competitive but really they should be on the undercards of bigger fights or otherwise the viewership will be really low. Also, Boxxer had 3 domestic, competitive matchups on the undercard of Billam-Smith in Bournemouth in December last year.

    It's a York Hall show

    What kind of main event are you actually expecting??

    It's been largely a steady stream of losing foreign nobodies that he's been in with since then before going up to Cruiser to fight a couple of guys who lose, the last having a record of 6-95. I don't really understand his career and what he's trying to achieve.

    Read my post again. It seems like Warren is trying to fill up his dates with subpar shows lacking depth.

    Hutchinson is very talented skills wise but I suspect a serious glass jaw of Khanitis levels the way he crumbled so easily in his loss. Good chance Maderna causes another KO upset to the home fighter here.

    Mad one isn’t it. At least this lad is a winner. Only 6 stoppages though so again, not the most dangerous!

    It's a York Hall show

    It's been clear for awhile Queensbury will fill dates with small hall shows in between 3 or 4 big shows a year

    That's their stragery

    They don't have the same budget as the other 2 imo so why bankrupt themselves

    Hardly any promoter offers depth right now with 3 different rosters practically unable to compete against each other

    Comparing these to a standard York Hall show

    Turn it in!

    So what would a profitable main event be in this venue within Queensburys stable?

    Out of these 4 fighters you believe they are trying to build their profiles? Or maybe just getting them out and fulfilling a date?
