Matchroom's Christmas Card - What a Massive Fail!!!!!!!

Whats wrong with the card frank is putting on? Its building up nicely.

Liam Smiths fight will be a good one, Derry Matthews is never in a dull fight and there is the Heffron fight too. Those three bouts are a good line up away from the undercard with local up and coming talent.

Matchrooms card is one sided top to bottom.

 

I don't see the problem with this card to be honest, few big names, few domestic dust-ups which could be good. I'd imagine most of the people slating the show will tune in on Saturday night.

 

Nothing's wrong with it at all. It's a similar card IMO.

Ormond struggled to get by Adam Dingdale last time out. Heffron's out...

So i could nit pick that card to bits but it's still IMO a solid card and i think Matchrooms card has some good trade fights in Owen vs Boylan and Connor vs Goodjohn and then Bundu vs Purdy which will be entertaining while it lasts. Bundu looks rather talented and has beaten solid opposition but Purdy's in last chance saloon and will have to give it a go. Alexander was three levels above him and his style was made to order. It was a put up job in all honesty. Bundu he has more of a chance of engaging..

It's a chance for lads at Excel and Echo to earn some coin over Christmas. Hearn's hoping both Mitchell and Purdy win to set up better fights in the new year.

 

He's hardly the devil, its not the best thats a given but most established fighters dont really want to be fighting this late in the year.

It's a lot of fights for one card but I agree not enough competitive bouts but you compare that to the tripe we were fed on a regular basis by the previous regime.

 

So many people are looking at who is on the card, and not the fights, Fact is i'd rather see two English level fighters in an even 50/ 50 then a world class fighter in a one sided fight, This Matchroom card has not one 50/ 50 and people compare Eddie to FW, but with Eddie's stable he should have cards that destroy anything FW can put on, yet Franks card is still as good if not better. Sick of Eddie and Matchroom when are they ever going to give the fans cards with proper fights not just one sided crap. Why doesn't Eddie make Purdy vs Rose or Mitchell vs Crolla but he won't rest assure

 

Not IMO. Both have similar standard cards. I agree about the monopoly to a point. Sky are the people to blame not Hearn on that he didn't hold them hostage to get the deal nor the extension. Hearn has to do what he has to do for his business. It's like yourself and many others are new to boxing. It's been this way for bloody decades!. This is the best time in British boxing for a good while yet we nitpick cards because it doesn't have some amazing fights.

TBH all these promoters are putting on shows nowadays where it's deemed by forum users as pretty much one sided fights for there boys. Hell even Spencer Fearon and his hardknocks 50/50 fights dream ended in Choi blasting out Journeymen. I remember a time when Spencer was the hero on here. Even he struggled to keep his promise because that's the business. Some fighters teams refuse fights. Some want silly money for fights. We don't know everything that happens do we...

It's part of the times sadly, Frank's no different and he's down some downright shady stuff and so has Eddie.

The bill is solid but yet to see a realistic card from you just spouting anger at Eddie for a card that isn't PPV just a normal Saturday fight night. But now the agenda's moved onto monopolies etc.

Oh and now it's Rob?. It was Eddie earlier. Now are you Andy, George or Francis or the man himself?.

 

Second to none bang on my friend. To many boxrec experts who don't actually scout the fighters to see if the styles mesh well and what they're about as fighters.

 

What's with the critiscm!? The Froch groves undercard was rubbish, this one is really good IMO. Purdy-bundu is excellent 2 great trade fights, Mitchell climbing the ladder again, Ochieng in a tough comeback fight then Joshua out again. If this is viewed as poor can I ask what people are actually expecting? Much better card than any competitors are producing and there's something for everyone on here for me.

 

People are honestly saying the Liverpool card is better? Matthews against Ormond is solid enough, smith in a poor fight and that's it. Liverpool is a 4 or 5 out of 10 the excel is a good solid 7/10

 

Get out of here, you and Mandanda must be sniffing the glue again and what's with all this 'trade fights' nonsense, do you work in boxing or something?

I'm not saying the card stinks, just that it's not particulary alluring for the average fan especially on Sky where it will be lucky to do more then 50,000 views.

Very suspicious that both you and Mandanda both rated this show 7 out of 10 and defending it so much.

Stop deflecting attention and comparing this to other promoters shows like the Liverpool one, we're talking about the Hearn show and the fans think it's average and that Hearn should be doing better especially as this comes on the back of a crap undercard for the GG-Froch fight.

 

I didn't even give the show a rating out of 10. :-(

And they are trade fights no matter if you think it's nonsense or not. People in the trade are looking forward to those fights..

I take it you won't be watching. So it doesn't really matter. Enjoy the other cards on BN :good.

 

Once again you've not answered the realistic card question. You fling the insults out yet it seems like you're the one with a agenda and not calling any middle ground.

It seems like your heads in the arse of Frank. His show isn't irrelevant as it's a show to balance this show with and to match up with as both are on TV. The Excel show isn't brilliant but it's solid but it seems like you and other crybaby's can't handle someone else's opinion and because it differs it means we are Hearn's colleagues or brown nosers.

Enjoy the BN show on the 14th it's really that simple!.

The stuff about mismatches goes for all promoters. I mean Burns level of opponent could arguably be said that it's stepped up under Hearn to a point where Hearn's been naive and stupid. All promoters look to keep there stable winning and Hearn's no worse then Sauerland and Sauerland no worse then Frank and Frank no worse then Hennessy..

Oh and i remember the 90's. Most posters around here who've seen me over the years know that!. Grew up loving the shows on ITV and Sky.

I remember the Judgement day SBO PPV's and Lennox Lewis vs Oliver McCall II on the Friday and Naz on the Saturday and that was your £14.95.
