You could be right mate, but to be fair you can't expect him to be in 50/50 wars every fight :OhYes:

Wonder what his got in the works?

Also see John McDermott v Ian Lewison added to the card, which will be a good scrap plus Bulliogni is fighting a WBO European fight, if he gets a decent opponent could answer what level he can get to, as its WBO version though I expect it will be a fight more in his favour
Definitely good to see Lewison v McDermott in the offing.

As for Buglioni I reckon there's more chance of hell freezing over than of him being tested in his WBO European fight.

Saunders is injured (hand injury) and is off the bill. Cleverley takes his place, contesting the commonwealth cruiserweight championship, apparently.

Unless there is a private dispute going on, and the injury story is a cover.

What a shower of sxxt this Copper Box show is becoming. The promoter said Delboy would face a good name opponent, yet they've unearthed an unknown Italian. Saunders is now off the bill, and they're drafting in crap, made up championship fights to plug the gaps.

I think it is far better than the kind of shows we had 10 years back. Back 10 years ago we would have Calzaghe against a 30th in the World ranked opponent for the WBO title. Enzo Mac vs a 75 ranked opponent for the WBU title and then a load of prospects in learning fights.

In my opinion the top 3 fights here are of a higher standard than that. Certainly the last Copperbox bill was probably better but this one is still ok I think. I'd certainly rather the situation we have now with the bills we have on Sky and these ones than what we had 10 years back with the Sky bills being naff and the BBC ones not being great just ok because they could compete money wise.
