    People moaning about these not being 50/50 fights. Your rarely get a true 50/50 fight. In boxing terms they are close enough to 50/50 for me.
    Selby-Munroe is a good fight I expect Selby to look impressive
    Buckland-Rees is a proper 50/50. A year ago you'd expect Rees to win easily but whats he got left.
    Evans-Ochieng is probably the closest thing to a 50/50 on the card but most people don't seen to think so.
    Plus Joshua back out.
    Boxing isn't always about the big name or big stars. I love cards like these

    They are close enough to 50/50 for me, if not they are decent match ups and have the potential to be good scraps, anyway looking forward to it.

    Yeah decent card, I will certainly be watching it !!!
     
  4. Another **** poor card for me

    Matchroom simply big fights on PPV, shitfighter cartoon boxing and mainly one sided gash.

    Time for Sky to end this Hearn contract before BT pick up the baton.

    the usual garbage card from sky and matchroom

    fortunately we only have to wait 2 weeks for the superb "rock the box 3"

    Don't rate Selby at all so I honestly think Munroe will pull off the upset here.

    What is interesting with Selby he is a fighter that rarely anyone has any middle ground about you either like him or hate him.

    He had the big build up after the Smith fight & his recent performances have been short of that level personally i like him as a fighter.Think he will just outbox Munroe Saturday should be a decent fight.

    in my view its the best Hearn card for ages!!

    less big names (so the casuals probably won't like it) but more competitive fights. Looking forward to it.

    I think Selby needs to be stopping Munroe to be honest

    I can't see Munroe winning the fight (although I'd love it if he did) but I do think we will get a lot of answers regardins Selby from this fight, is he the real deal or another hype machine, we shall see.

    I thought selby was very average last time he fought but maybe Walsh just boxed better than I thought he could

    Should be a really entertaining card this. Always good to see Selby out, and Rees Buckland could be an early brit FOTY contender.
