Joshua-Martin running order

[oliverfennell]

Does anyone know the approximate times of the fights on Saturday? I will be watching live in Thailand but it will be the early hours of the morning here, so I plan to get a few hours sleep first but don't want to oversleep. I'd like to watch the three titles fights at least.

Cheers.

Just a guess but I'd say Macklin Rose 7pm, followed by McDonnell, Selby, Benn, Groves then AJ in that order

[wesshaw1985]

Martin Joshua
Selby
Groves
McDonnell
Macklin Rose
Davies
Cheeseman
Benn

is the running order. Not sure on times. Main event is 11pm I believe...

Benn is a floater and will go on late. Maybe just before the main event.

From that tv running order I'd imagine approximately something like:

6.10pm Davies v Keates
7pm Macklin v Rose
8pm McDonnell v Vargas
9pm Groves v Brophy
10pm Selby v Hunter
11pm (Ringwalks 10.45pm) Josha v Martin
Live Float Benn v Keleher

This makes me laugh..

11pm perfect for me as im at work till 11.

One thing that pisses me of though is Benn bringing in an import. There are 99 current boxers at super lightweight in England. Why not give one of those a pay day?

Last I knew he was fighting a kid from West Yorkshire.

Luke Keleher, just been told Benn dropped him for an easier opponent and promised him May 28th... Benn telling everyone Luke hurt his finger, he never, he's good to go and really upset.

Judging by Keleher's record he could easily be 6-1 with a bit of luck and gives it a go when he's brought in as the opponent. Probably seen as too much of a risk to Benn, would be a disaster for them if he got beat on debut.

[mickey1975]

I was told he was extremely confident and up for it. Not good for all his mates who've booked it, bet on it and some are going. Still, who cares?

Not a lot of confidence in Benn then it seems.

Benn has blocked all Keleher's fans on Twitter for asking him why he's not fighting their man!

Fook me give Benn a break not even had his first fight yet

Going nowhere is he.

I've fell out with him already.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, however, if Benn had a chosen boxer but has decided to take an easier fighter what is that saying, not to himself but to those who have proberly invested in him? Also he talks big on Twitter, well he did until i unfollowed him.

Bloody imports, come over here, take all the jobs...

Thanks... sucks that Selby is one before Groves. Given the time difference, I hoped to sleep, see the world title fights back to back, then sleep again. Not bothered about Groves and Benn.

It's the equivalent of staying up for US fights in the UK, and I used to do that no problem, but then I have to be up again a couple of hours later for Pac-Bradley too!

11 pm is to long to wait

I totally agree. Surely an 23.45 finish is annoyingly late whether you're watching at home, going out afterwards, or having to get away from the O2.
