Fecking pathetic that. Eubank equally to blame. Both c**ts

I've paid 20 quid for the boxing and gone to the pub to wait for my Chinese which hasn't got it on.
I think I could have planned this a bit better.

They’re just doing as they’re told by the promoter, but I agree, it’s just really tinpot

Sorry but I really detest it in MMA. The whole Connor McTapout circus has lessened my interest when once I loved it

Who are people picking to win in the main event? I think this is the best boxing fight we've seen in years. Both are once in a generation boxers. I hope Bivol wins, but it's hard to pick.

Fair enough, I think I meant that MMA is such a young sport, UFC has always been WWE-like in presentation and promotion of cards and “pushed” fighters the second they got some cash (in fact, WWE nearly bought UFC back in the day).
I like to think, however hard it is, that the admittedly scummy world of boxing is above that, and there’s still a bit of nobility left even after all the scandals, corruption and cheating.

To be fair they’re trying to get a big purse for a fight between them because both are in the shadow of their father and neither are as good as their father. That’s not a millstone many others have.

After my success last time backing Dubois to knock out or stop Joshua in six, I’m using some of the winnings for a little flutter.
I’ve gone for Bivol by TKO, £20 @ 17/2.
But it really could go either way and I’m far less sure on this one than Joshua/Dubois.
I think Bivol will try and hold back and box, and Beterbiev will come forward and brawl. I’ve gone with Bivol simply because of Beterbiev’s extra years (39 compared to 33) and the latter’s injuries possibly slowing him down further, enabling Bivol to pick him off at a distance.
Either way, it promises to be a great fight. Ring walk at 23:15 apparently…

While the last two fights have been quite one sided I don’t think the next two will be!

Quite dissappponted up to now tbf. However it is was it is. Mainly paid for the Wardley/Clarke 2 fight and that's still to come. The B/B fight is a bonus.

Wardley / Clarke. Should be good.

I dunno, I’m enjoying it - good quality. Last couple have been one-sided but I think the matchmaking has been loads better recently. Got the big ones coming up now, should be two great fights.
Looking forward to this next one
Have money on Clarke winning by knock out. Think he can learn and improve from the first
Wardley considering his boxing background super tough though

Clarke is massively over-rated
Won’t amount to a lot . No where near world level . Domestically decent enough though .

And I don’t rate him that highly!
They’re well matched though IMO. Neither is going in with Usyk.
