29th November - Chisora/Fury and Bellew/Clev

[MCGoldrush]

It looks like Fury Vs. Chisora has been moved from the 22nd November to the 29th of November according to FW's latest column and, now that the Sheffield show is off, Bellew and Cleverly is tentatively back on for the 29th of November. Two very decent domestic rematches with Fury/Chisora being a final eliminator and Hearn saying the winner of Bellew/Clev will fight for a World Title.

My friends and I were planning on going to both but now it looks like we'll have to make a choice. My question is if you could attend one of the fights - disregarding all other factors like cost, undercard, potential postponements etc. - which would you choose?

I'm leaning towards Bellew/Clev based on how good their first fight was.

[TopGun]

When you have 2 decent heavyweights going to try and win and do so by KO, it's always hard to not want to see them over any other weight division IMO. Plus I'm a little fed up with Bellew and his attitude. Although it's a very close call, both should be great fights and very close. I'm going to vote for Chisora/Fury

[DMA1987]

Though neither is as big a fight as they would have you believe, I'll probably watch the Chisora v Fury fight.

In theory anyway. I don't think I'll have a decision to make.

[Tarkus]

They should avoid the same date. Not that every weak is packed with great cards. I lean towards Bellew/Clev. Perhaps a better undercard as well.

[black panther]

Fury vs Chisora no question.

I think Cleverly and Bellew have found their limits whilst with Fury he still has a mystique about him; how far can he go? What if he gets into good shape? What if he keeps improving?

Not saying Bellew vs Cleverly wasn't a good fight but Fury's never in a dull fight either - same goes for Chisora I guess!

[ILikeBeer]

I just don't like Fury or Chisora that much.

[WelshJack]

Very disappointed they have done this. From my name you can see what my choice is, but for a neutral I would base it on the best undercard.

[Glass Joe]

Hopefully these two cards won't happen on the same night, think Fury will win a wide points win so would rather watch the bellew match.

[MCGoldrush]

Wow, such an even poll!

You've got to think it's ill-advised to have changed Fury Vs. Chisora to the 29th. Once the Sky hype machine starts gathering speed, the casuals will be more aware of Bellew Vs. Cleverly and will probably therefore be more interested in that.

With today's announcement of BJS Vs. Eubank, I've bought tickets for the Excel show. Cheapest tickets but in a good position. Hoping all goes ahead as planned.

[brian13]

Dan Rafael tweeted today that Chisora / Fury was moved from the 22nd to the 29th and will remain in the excel. I'm confused now.

This is a pain, I see both main event fights are competitive.

This is a few times this has happened,i hope both shows attendence suffer and we can maybe avoid this


Why was Fury/Chisora postponed?

[SteveDow]

Will be a good night of boxing if this happens. I'm at Newbury races during the day but would be tempted to get a ticket for the Excel card but will be waiting until much nearer the time before deciding given Warren's history of fights not happening.

I agree it's a bit annoying having to choose between events, especially considering we get so many empty dates in the boxing calendar.

But actually it might prove to be a good thing - both promoters will have to put on stacked cards (to quote Eddie!) as they won't want to get smashed in attendance/viewing figures, so we may end up with 2 great cards on the same night instead of 2 mediocre cards across separate nights.

[ILikeBeer]

Eubank Jr vs BJS on the undercard apparently.

[ste1983]

the addition of Saunders v Eubank Jr tips it over to the Warren show for me. Theres also a good chance it'll feature Gavin v Skeete.

Bellew v Cleverly has Limond v Nurse so far.

[Boxerbeetle]

I'm definitely leaning towards Chisora/Fury at the moment, although I'm fully expecting that card to fall apart.

[Josh1111]

The fact i have little trust the the FW card will go ahead as currently advertised, would make me choose the Cleverly v Bellew card

[ILikeBeer]

I can take or leave the Fury vs Chisora fight. I'd watch it if it was on Five, not sure if either of them are worth making a special effort for though.

Their first fight was the first fight Channel 5's recent boxing coverage, and all the talk afterwards was about how channel five was covering their new sport. The actual fight itself seemed secondary to how a new channel performed. Or in other words, it wasn't really that worth discussing.

Saying that, Eubank Jr. vs BJS intrigues me. Partly just out of perverse pleasure though. Eubank Jr. has pretty much done bugger all other than fight journeymen, pose and look embarrassed by his dad. I'm kind of expecting BJS to school him and take the Eubanks down a peg or two. Post fight interviews of Eubank Jr's seem to concentrate on sucking up to his dad, and ignore the actual guy who has done all the fighting. What'll they be like if CE Jr. loses for the first time? It's almost more interesting than the fight....

I don't have the Alleged Channel or Sky Sports at home. If there's a pub showing the card somewhere, I might watch. More for the Eubank than the main event though.

November 29th will be an armchair job for me, would like to attend both events but I'll save myself some money and flick between both events on the box

[righthook]

A little silly having both fights on the same day. Its the fans who now pay the price! How often do we wait for a good show to come along and now all of a sudden we get 2 on the same night.

If this is a case of a promoter trying to rival another by putting a show on the same date then it is sad and pathetic.

They should move one of the shows or no matter which one gets the most viewings they will still lose out on thousands of people watching and they will have gained nothing from it.

[Roman7]

The London show will win the viewing figures and everyone else will record the other

The London show will be on allegedly will it not???

That means the sky show will be watched by at least 4 times the amount of people. How many people actually have allegedly??? Everyone has sky and sky are able to advertise there show on all there channels so I'm not sure why u think the allegedly show would win the viewing figures???

By the way every time it says allegedly that means b o x n a t I o n

Have to agree with this not that its right in my view as it standards at the moment the London show deserves to get more viewing figures but it won't.

Some people just watch whatevers on Sky and assume thats the best option. The type who come back from a few down the pub etc.

[righthook]

The London show will b a great show and I want to watch all the fights on it but let's face it only real boxing fans will subscribe to b nation whereas everyone has sky sports so there's no way b nation can compete with sky, just think how much they will plug the card it will b on countless ring side shows and also on the sports centre every day
