This would be considered a shit card if it were on fight pass never mind primetime skysports. Hearn skysports monopoly is killing british boxing, he does not make the fights the fans want to see. Shite promter who is not doing a good job for skysports subscribers. Skysports need to get someone in quality control for the sake of the subscribers who has the power to turn down fights that Hearn wants to make

hmmm. not sure about Eggington's habit of backing off with his chin in the air. Doubt Lamptey will do anything about it, but someone will....

Its not a Hearn promotion in Texas. Hearn is blatantly putting one sided fights on sky sports with a view to putting "stacked cards" on ppv
