This isn't down the bill, these are televised fights and their shite. The only decent fight left on the show after Zamora's pull out is Bundu-Purdy. Loads of fights, but they're all shocking.jameswilson wrote:This far down the bill the fights are nearly always like that.
There's only 2 fights left and Murray was fighting on a 9pm slot. The match making for fighters of McDonnell & Murray's suppossed level is pathetic and both looked poor. Murray actually looked terrible. God help him if it's Golovkin in February.jameswilson wrote:This far down the bill the fights are nearly always like that.
Mitchell's opponent was a late replacement, the Southern area title fight between Boylan and Tony Owen is a good competitive fight, your an idiot if you're complaining about that. And obviously Purdy v Bundu is a decent fight with Purdy the underdog.expe wrote:This isn't down the bill, these are televised fights and their shite.

Southern Area title fights don't belong on the telly, especially when they're 50-50 so there's no prospect involved. I have no issue with the Mitchell or Purdy fights for the reasons you give. No one's comparing it to last week and I wouldn't say Skeete-Lynes or the Chisora fight were mismatches and one of the Evangelou's lost with the other run close. 14 of the fights on this card don't belong on TV and that's the issue.jameswilson wrote:Mitchell's opponent was a late replacement, the Southern area title fight between Boylan and Tony Owen is a good competitive fight, your an idiot if you're complaining about that.

Last week we had mismatches from first fight to last. Owen v Boylan is easily better than Frank Buglioni's 'fight' last week and the Buglioni fight was chief support.
Nothing what you have said changes the fact that this card has been garbage. First fight I saw was Smith and since then there has been no quality or excitement. Have been able to hear the crowd chatter all night. How bad Frank the W@nk's most recent cards have been is of no consequence. Eddie is at it tonight!jameswilson wrote:Mitchell's opponent was a late replacement, the Southern area title fight between Boylan and Tony Owen is a good competitive fight, your an idiot if you're complaining about that.

Don't know if I'd take it that far. Have seen Mitchell in some crackers. That fight reminded me of Prescott in that Mitchell was boxing circles round him with not much coming back. This time he found a good finish though. Other guy was completely out of his depth.iamasadlittleboy wrote:Mitchell bores me...he makes me enjoy watching Andre Ward...
He was in crackers...years ago...recently though...I'm hard pushed to remember the last Mitchell fight I enjoyed (barring the Burns fight where I had a small bet on Burns by stoppage)WayoftheCass wrote:Don't know if I'd take it that far.

Nice first round. Though it would take 'Hagler-Hearns' to make up for this card!ashedward wrote:This card really needs the main event to be decent now
Purdy hanging tough. Getting rings boxed round him but doing well with left to the body and letting it all hang out.expe wrote:At least the main events a good fight.
It`s been average for matchroom but much better then the old ffn at least we get to see these fight on tv but the fight have lacked excitement even through some of the fights was more competitive then some thought they would be and better then most of wazza cards and is better then the Christmas cracker and London finest shows Matchroom have done in the past.He has the got the scheduling wrong tonight which means we miss out on the Ochiang fight and the other area title fight.Average show but not the abomination the anti Hearn brigade will make outWayoftheCass wrote:Nice first round.

Yeah but the matchroom supporters always say that. Always got an excuse for why the card is poor. The Froch-Groves undercard was atrocious aswell and that was PPV.ashedward wrote:It`s been average for matchroom but much better then the old ffn at least we get to see these fight on tv but the fight have lacked excitement even through some of the fights was more competitive then some thought they would be and better then most of wazza cards and is better then the Christmas cracker and London finest shows Matchroom have done in the past.He has the got the scheduling wrong tonight which means we miss out on the Ochiang fight and the other area title fight.Average show but not the abomination the anti Hearn brigade will make outWayoftheCass wrote:Nice first round.
