    Watch how many times the commentators remark "that he has never lost and an unbeaten fighter is always dangerous" come fight night

    Never heard of the guy...the only opponent on his record I've ever heard of is Zack Page, too.

    Last-minute subs are difficult to arrange, okay. But Herbie's right there, asking for this fight, and it'll make Enzo look weaker for avoiding him in favour of an unbeaten but very unknown fighter.

    Sorry, if I'm wrong I'm wrong, but this looks pretty weak sauce to me. Which means the ITV and Warren hype machines will be up to 11 to make Palacios seem like a killer, making for an obnoxious broadcast...

    This is PPV remember. Not sure how you could have imagined a card as good as this could be on free tv.

    Is he though? I've seen lots of other people asking for it, don't recall off the top of my head seeing any quotes from Herbie himself over the past few days, though it's quite possible I missed/forgot them...
