    Valid points but the reason why fans can’t take him seriously is because he uses his ranking to justify avoiding fights against Burton and Johnson. If he’s not going to fight for a world title, at least try to wipe out British.

    You can’t say “we aren’t ready for world title because no amateur experience” and then make excuses for avoiding British level, which is great preparation for the world stage.

    tbh Franks one good point was that why doesnt Hearn make Callum Johnson vs Buatsi or Hosea Burton vs Buatsi, both in house fights easy to make

    eddies doing the exact same thing

    I don't disagree with what your saying, but Johnson is a Matchroom fighter and we know Warren isn't going to work with Eddie and vise versa. I didn't include Burton as they were right to steer clear as he's going nowhere as you can see since the Bug fight.

    I'm giving them this fight, but after that I need to see better opponents.

    Murray/Garcia: I know this fella is undersized but even if he slightly decent then I could imagine him beating Murray. I really should research this Garcia fella as there is good odds on him.

    Yarde/Sek: Kittens in the camp Yarde with another knock over job. I am/was huge on Yarde's talent but he simply can't be as good as I believe. The rumours of the awful chin might be true hence why the world champions are offering him shots as a voluntary. Twice he's been offered a world title shot.

    Dubois/Little: I'm looking forward to this but realise it could easily be another early night for Dangerous Dan. It's ironic that most people misspell his surname to 'Dubious', because I'm certainly dubious about DDD. I'm not convinced with him.

    It's a shame that Leather pulled out of the Ohara Davies fight. I would have looked forward to that!

    yes it is fine that he declined the 2 world title fights, but dont mention in every interview that your ranked 2 in the world so you dont need to fight the british guys - buatsi, burton, johnson. because if your too good and too highly ranked to fight the domestic guys then he should be fighting for world title eliminators, not journeymen

    Dubois 1/4 to stop Little in first few rounds.

    Yarde odds on to stop Sek within 5.

    Davies 1/33, 1/25 on depending what bookies you use.

    Even Murray is 1/6 to win.

    Really competitive flagship show at the o2 this.

    Another night of Pony on BT with the best fight of the night by a country mile on Channel 5.

    BT should really get stuck into Fish for this pish

    Not impressed with James Branch, looks like he packs a decent enough punch but his hand speed seems extremely slow.

    Brutal KO round 2 by Davies. It was a mismatch from the start power wise. Kamanga was flying back off jabs.

    But it was a beautiful shot from OD

    Al Tememi - Sadiq. Sure to be a classic.
