Agreed. There were 3/4 cracking fights. The Olympian wasn't great but the other fights were great value.daviddee wrote:Was a very very good show!! Lots of very good fights made up for Curtis!! I hate Sky commentators though

Re: Matchroom show not great. Again!
It ended up being a good show, but if Coyle had walked all over Brizuela in the main event, as Hearn no doubt intended, would we have been saying the same things?jameswilson wrote:Expe can.......mickey1975 wrote: And if a different show is crap it's bad luck? It was great entertainment. Campbell isn't boring at all, his fights are just one sided at the moment. 3 excellent scheduled 12 rounders, you can't ask for more.

I'm curious to how much notice Brizuela had for the fight.expe wrote:It ended up being a good show, but if Coyle had walked all over Brizuela in the main event, as Hearn no doubt intended, would we have been saying the same things?jameswilson wrote:Expe can.......mickey1975 wrote: And if a different show is crap it's bad luck?

I think it was 6 weeks that we found out he was the opponent how long before then they knew we don't know. There's an IFL video from more than 4 weeks back where Coyle talks about the fight anyway so it's definitely at least that.

I hope so cos that's another thing you see too much in boxing generally.jameswilson wrote:columbo wrote: I'm curious to how much notice Brizuela had for the fight.

Re: Matchroom show not great. Again!
It was an average card on paper, but it really delivered some thrills and spills.
Very satisfying indeed.

Yeah that's a strange one! As I've said before, some people on these forums really do struggle to be positive about anything!
Re: Matchroom show not great. Again!
It was actually pretty good especially the Coyle fight.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the ref in Coyles fight. Coyle did about 3 low blows before getting a point deducted, Brizuela got a point deducted on his first low blow.
Coyle looked in real pain and still struggling around 8/9, ref let it go on, on the last knock down of Brizuela, he was clearly fine to go on and finish the fight, ref stopped it. I understand Tommy had the home crowd etc. But its another case of dodgy refereeing in favour of the Matchrooom fighter in my opinion.

Re: Matchroom show not great. Again!
Very true, they seem to be enemy number 1. Every pay per view is disputed and almost every card is labelled as poor or 1-sided. Don't get me wrong, they're far from perfect, but in my opinion British boxing is back on the rise and Matchroom are a part of that so fair play.DMA1987 wrote:danamba7 wrote:
