    Can't wait for Badou to truly prove himself as a top 10 pound for pound fighter, deserves it. How he isn't in most people's top 10 right now is silly imo. Draw against DeGale, which you could argue he should have won, destroyed Cleverly, beat Bute, did well against Groves and that one could have been given either way. Jack is elite and by beating Stevenson he should be where he deserves to be in people's lists. Hope he exposes Stevenson for the clown he is, overrated imo.

    He never gets the credit he deserves. If he beat Stevenson people will just say he is old and only fights bum etc.

    Jack is horrendously underrated

    Nice.

    I was very much looking forward to Figueroa-Broner and it’s great that they’ve got a solid replacement in Vargas.

    Stevenson will one-punch KO Jack IMO. Think it could be between that and Haye KTFO Bellew in May for KO of the year.

    Nightmare opponent Jack. Tough as leather and keeps coming. Ward would have beaten him but had an honest night's work of it.

    I'm glad they've picked these cards up, but do Eddie or Adam have anything to do with it? I would assume it's down to Ed Robinson, no?

    Think Ed and Adam identify bills they want and pass it in to Eddie Hearn who then negotiates deal with the promoters/networks to buy them.

    That makes sense, good job all round then I guess. The more Sky and BN compete, the better for us. Channel 5 seem pretty invested with Taylor as well

    Yeah it's great news. Often Sky go for international cards that include fighters that may fight one of their fighters soon.
