    Which show is better on Saturday? Which will you watch live?

    W.Promotions present Live on BoxNation from Wembley Arena in London
    Nathan Cleverly v Robin Kraniqui (WBO Light Heavyweight)
    Liam Walsh v Scott Harrison (WBO European Lightwegiht)
    Paul Butler v Yakub Karrem (Commonwealth Super Flyweight)
    Derick Chisora v Hector Avila (10x3 Heavyweight)

    ---
    Matchroom Promotions Live on SkySports1HD from Winter Gardens in Blackpool
    Brian Rose vs Joachim Acline (WBO Inter-Continental Light Middleweight)
    Lee Selby v Correy McConnell (Commonwealth Featherweight)
    China Clarke v Matty Askin (English Cruiserweight)
    Scott Cardle v Maxi Hughes (Central Area Lighweight)


    For me it's pretty hard to split. Theirs 3 genuine 50-50's on the the Blackpool card, and I always enjoy watching Selby. I think Krasniqui is allot better than people think but not really a particularly exciting fighter to watch. Butlers opponent could be hit or miss, like Selbys. Walsh v Harrison looks to be a mismatch but you never know. Chisoras opponent is ****.

    If you were to make the best 4 fight TV card out of those I would pick;

    Nathan Cleverly v Robin Kraniqui (WBO Light Heavyweight)
    Brian Rose vs Joachim Acline (WBO Inter-Continental Light Middleweight)
    China Clarke v Matty Askin (English Cruiserweight)
    Scott Cardle v Maxi Hughes (Central Area Lighweight)

    So I personally go with the Blackpool card.....and await the stick.

    If I was a paying customer I'd consider the overall card, ie the entire card for both, FWP's is better and by quite a distance.

    Think Frank's is slightly better. Although you'd worry that this is one of Frank's big shows compared to Matchroom's more domestic of cards.

    W*rren's easily. And I'm a big Selby fan who's been frustrated as hell with W*arren over Cleverly

    Any show that has Rose heading the bill is pretty small time

    Remember 'Rule Britannia' had to be salvaged from the ruins of a disaster.

    Walsh v Harrison is the fight I'm looking forward to. It's a better contest than the original Groves fight. More intriguing anyway.

    Although Scott Harrison is probably breaking into an Off Licence as I type.

    He may as well. Hatton couldn't bridge the gap when he came back so Harrison has no chance after 10 rounds in 8 yrs

    FWP's but it's still no way near as good as it was when originally announced. The majority of Matchroom's cards are better than this, just this next one in Blackpool doesn't really have any big name fighters on it and is a sort of low-key thing.

    I'm still not entirely convinced this Rue Britannia card will happen, things just seem to keep blowing up in Allegedly's face and ruining his shows. Wouldn't be surprised if a bloody plane drops out of the sky and crashes into the building on the night just before showtime.
