It is called past present and future -

Jamie Arthur is making a comeback Craig Kennedy is headlining along with a Welsh title fight and Andrew Selby is having his debut fight so a great card.

Interestingly theres a pro show involving Mark Evans from Holyhead in the seaside town of Llandudno, North Wales in November. Mark co-promoting with VIP i understand.

Nice to see small hall pro shows springing up to fight back at the numerous "unlicensed" shows currently beingput on. Some of these semi-pro contests are great, some nothing short of ridiculous. See below for comedy value example...

Feel free to post a barnburner in reply, like i say some are good fights, but that above... Oh dear

Tempted to go to the Newport bill.

Welsh boxing is in good shape at the moment. Great to see North Wales getting involved.

Do people really pay to watch that rubbish? At the end the commentator said "Really good fight that". I dread to think what else he's been watching.

Enjoyed the only other small hall Welsh show I've seen on Eurosport - they're a good little addition to the TV circuit. Will definitely watch it if I'm not out. :TU:

I wonder if that lad had ever been in a proper spar? I'm not going to dig him out, it's the people who put him on the card and the trainer who thought he was ready.

That ring card girl was a sort though, I'd certainly go to Wales to Bangor.

Yeah, I'm like that too.

Watch young up and comers fighting, rather than Hearn wankery.

I really wish Eurosport would bring back its Knockout Classics on a Friday evening. I used to love watching (often obscure) fights from the 1980s-2000s, knowing one of the boxers were going to get KO'd but not knowing who, cigarette in hand pretending I was at the fight myself. Fantastic fun.

I'm busy this Friday.

Shame. I don't have Allegedly or Sky, so this'd be a rare chance to watch boxing in my own home.

Only downside with Eurosport is the commentary is normally dreadful!
