The Odessey (c.9500) aint that much larger than the Kings Hall (c.7500). Personally I think they should have complied with the wishes of Channel 5 and had a more modest bill and house it at the Ulster Hall (c.1500) but who knows what is going on in the background.

Rogan draws a different demographic to McCloskey and Frampton so whilst a lot of casual Belfast fans will be going to the Odessey, there is still a large proportion of the Rogie faithful that will not have bought tickets.

They have Haughian and Ryan Greene on the bill who both are a. ticket sellers and b. another demographic.

They also got Tolan v Townley which is an interesting match up for its own reasons that we are best off not going into.

They have Hillerby v Healy, another cracking fight. Kevin O'Hara is back. Willie Casey and Levan Ghvamichava have been added to the bill today as well. Then there is Kid Galahad and Phill Fury as well!

Its a fornicating fantasic bill - but I fear that, despite the cracking value for money that the undercard undoubtedly is, the bill will be judged purely on who steps out of the red corner.

I see you haven't mentioned Junior Witter.

Well I've mentioned his opponent, Haughian, and that was probably all that needs to be mentioned.

Witter wont be much of an attraction on this bill - although he will have second billing.

The PF final performance ensures that Witters name instigates eye rolls as opposed to eye sparkles.

I see in boxing news Hennessy says he's hoping Fury will be fighting twice more this year after the dublin show, I certainly wouldn't expect a big name now.
