    What you going for for mains/starters, anything you're particularly interested in picking up or anything you will ignore?

    I understand DAZN and BT have organised matters so their mains don't clash, Sky doing its own thing as always.

    One day he will get flattened and you will be sad you missed it. Okolie does have the best undercard fight, potentially, in Eggington-Pigford.

    If Eddie "fighter safety" Hearn is a responsible promoter then their is no DAZN main event to worry about

    I'll watch DAZN live and record Sky and BT for a lazy Sunday morning's viewing

    And if Hearn hasn't added clauses to his contracts to allow him to cancel fights after the Benn fiasco then he is a ****ing moron

    Lara-Wood will get pulled no doubt, so no main event clash

    I’ve only got BT now so not much of a decision to be had up at Van Basten Heights.

    I have 2 TV screens and fortunately both a Sky Q and Sky+ HD box. Watching Sky and BT on separate screens and then DAZN / Matchroom's event has to wait until Sunday morning. I sincerely hope this is the last time we go through this.

    How many years have we listened to Eddie Hearn talk about how it´s first and foremost about the safety of the boxers ?

    I don't think the fight should go ahead with that weight gap.

    Personally I want to hear from the board here. Hearn has claimed the Board set 128.5lbs was the minimum Lara should weigh in at.

    I'd like to hear this from the board directly, and hear if they imposed any other conditions. As a layman, it feels weird that they wouldn't also have a maximum they would allow the contest to take place at for safety reasons.
