    ...chisora whyte ..and The buglioni fight helped disguise another night of gross mismatches.

    The smith fight should have been stopped a lot sooner.

    Terry o Connor should not be reffing.

    All in all fast Eddie got away with a lot of things last night.

    Now they are selling us AJ against a middle aged man who was bEyond AWFUL in his last fight and who hasn't boxed in well over a year. Wlad needs to stay retired. Potential tragedy is possible here - another Holmes v Ali, , it's just not safe, full stop.

    This was the 1st time i didnt buy a ppv, it came to the point where i had to put my money where my mouth is and not pay for nights i didnt think were worth the money.
    I listened to the night on radio5 and although i know i visualy missed some great fights that still doesnt mean they should of been paid for.
    The fights involved british lvl fighters who put in good shifts and made a good night of it.
    Ppv should be to cover purses of star fighters not line the pockets of greedy promoters.
    Its probably going to get worse now as well. aj will be commanding more £ now that he potentialy has options here in the uk.
    Which means, less to pay out to the undercard fighters so that they can pay AJ more.

    I'm done with ppv I will pay to see the fighters that have earnt it the hard way and not had everything given to them simples

    I'm sick of mollicoddeled fighters thinking they are A this , star that, he ain't on my level ,I don't want a fellow fighter to get paid it fhooking disgusts me

    For example Frankie giving it I'm off to 140 which he told us all he cannot make then its I'm having @144 tune up then I want big fights and only big fights at a weight he ain't sure he can make

    Does he realize he is on a rebuilding path its this sort of entitlement that fhooks me off

    Maybe i'd had a few last night but i enjoyed it immensely. Sure the headliner wasn't much of a fight but the casuals got their nasty looking KO and i'm struggling to remember two fights as good as the whyte and burton ones on a undercard.

    totally agree with Len....if Chisora-Whyte turned out to be the clinching mess most of us expected he would be in hot water with the public especially as he is promoting another farce in Haye-Bellew in a few months time. Going back to Whyte-Chisora, Hearn needs to repy them with either making them the headlinner on a sky sports london card or another good paying fight.

    I didnt pay for last night - Its the first time I can remember not getting a PPV but im sick of jokers like Molina coming here with absolutley no desire to try to do anything fcuk that.

    As for Klitscko - I am left cold by the idea of that fight. WK is shot to bits, he threw about 10 punches against Fury in a terrible fight nearly 2 years ago, and now hes comiung over to here to have a war with a young, strong athletic beat in AJ? Yeah right, do me a favour hes getting demolished in another farce and I also share a fear of a unsightly ending for a once good champion

    It definitely didnt feel like a PPV event while watching it, the nervous tension you get when you have a genuine 50/50 elite level main event was missing, and badly.

    Exactly my point....these two FANTASTIC fights that I enjoyed immensely took our eye off the ball. The ball in this case being the continuing trend of gross MISmatchroom mismatches.

    Now we will have have -bellew, then AJ-Wlad....all gross mismatches. Dangerous fights. Wlad could get seriously hurt.

    So many moaners on here. Half of you probably blow more than 20 quid going down the pub or going to the cinema. I really don't see what the big deal is. Last night was well worth 17 quid compared to a 2 hour film for example.

    I'm sorry Wlad v Aj is not a dangerous mismatch. If you REALLY think that Joshua can only have about 3 fights...EVER.

    I don't know what division some people see. The lack of quality in the division means more times than not Joshua will be a strong favorite.

    Totally agree with you mate . Some people arnt happy unless there moaning about summot. Whinging about ppv's and calling people casuals is all the majority of people on here do

    Main event was the anti-climax that everybody knew it would be but the rest of the card was very enjoyable. Some cracking one punch KOs and hugely entertaining contests. Kal Yafai did exceptionally well, great to see his hard work pay dividends

    We knew this was never a PPV card and hopefully people did not buy.

    Disgusting that AJ makes millions for that non event last night and the pudding Semolina really should be sent packing in a recycled can.

    If you don't want to support these type of fights then don't watch it, why is that so hard for some people to grasp?

    You seem very disappointed that the card was a success as now you don't get to hate on it the way you wanted to. This is troll mentality.
