Tyson Fury fights Pajkic in Manchester

No idea but I like how busy Fury is keeping.

 

like that there keeping him busy but fights like this do not beling on national television.

Its great that Channel 5 are invovled in boxing but really having Hennesey at the helm and only pushing 1 fighter thats actually **** is not good.

 

Good fight, its on channel 5 as well so I can see it doing decent figures

 

Good fight, should be a bit of a tear up and there is needle between the two of them. Good to see Galahad fighting again but 5 really need to show more of the undercard, he should get Daws and O'Donnell on it. It is about time the two of them came back. If Big Mick was clever he wud try and get them both some title shots again soon and have two title fights on his Channel5 shows. Id like to know where Channel 5 goes with boxing if Fury loses.

 

Pajkic is feather fisted. 1 ko in his last 11 fights and not good enough boxer to win a UD. Easy fury win. Another salita.

 

Pajkic isn't good at all, hes struggled against journeyman fighters

 

But the difference is, given that Fury is fighting so frequently I guess we won't mind some of the softer opponents. He is Canadian champion and unbeaten, so it's obvious why they have gone for him. If Fury were fighting twice a year like some of them then I would be disappointed with this one, but in context I think it's a good pick.

 

Any news on the underca,rd??

 

Adnan Amar vs James Flinn for the English, I heard.

 

To be fair though Hennessy doesn't have the fighters in his stable to build cards.

Realistically, the likes of Lenny Daws and John O'Donnell aren't compulsive viewing.... they aren't particularly thrilling to watch and don't punch hard.

If you can get a young heavyweight that can knock people out on terrestrial TV and people are watching, that's good news.

Hell, people watched Frank Bruno against the likes of Chuck Gardner FFS

This might be Mick's last throw of the dice, the viewing figures of ITV probably dropped because some of the fights weren't particularly good. The last thing a new viewer wants to see is three or four undercard fights going ten rounds with little action taking place.

If it's a one fight slot, so be it. If you put interesting boxing on terrestrial, people will watch, it's been proven time and again.

Only Simon Cowell can serve up shite on terrestrial and get away with it, seemingly.

 

The undercard should absolutely NOT be shown. It's suicide. All that#'s needed is a 75 minute slot and straight into the main event.

Question for you: Which undercard fight was shown on ITV when Benn fought Eubank?

 

Highlights of the undercard would do me
