Not very appealing all the shows u mention. Only 2 opponents listed on walsall show and one is top the bill
Yeah not the best is it was thinking of doing Walsall but to be honest think I'd rather stay in and watch Crolla/Linares Ovil/Huck on the telly.
I'd have probably gone to the Walsall show if it was the Friday instead but none of the others interest me.
Exactly what I was thinking. U going eggington v gavin
Might do not 100% yet though, quite fancy it but I really can't stand arena (especially Matchroom) shows anymore. Full of bellends who know fornicate all about boxing.
I'll see what the undercards saying first. Problem is with having a big arena show in the area any decent fights I'd prefer to see headlining their own small hall shows will be buried down the undercard of this, so won't be a lot going on locally for a while.

Yeah from wat I'm seeing on social media theirs a few good area title fights that probably won't get any air time. Also saw on twitter Brian rose turned down craig cunningham fight. Rose team has offered it to Welborn but he turned it down due to his partner due a few days later and the fact he only had 5 weeks notice.
Boxer of the year: Craig Cunningham
Best newcomer: Zach Parker
Younger boxer: Gamal Yafai

Be a great if that gets made, would love to see it headline a small hall show locally but it'll probably end up at 5.30pm in front of an empty arena on Matchroom's next Brum show.
How you see it going? I'd fancy Clarke personally although agree it is definitely a much needed step up.
Adam Harper / Curtis Valentine looks a good match in Walsall (4th March) pal, think I'll be going to that as long as it holds up.

Fight is deffo agreed just got to sort a date both fight in feb and March so will b after that I guess. Peggy commented on the Fb post that maybe villa park. Think len being younger and fresher with weight advantage as cello is really a middleweight.
Not seen harper and tbh valentine hasn't done much since he stoppped Aston. Will let look at undercard b4 going I know zaber is back on that show

topping the bill in another keep busy fight....that bescot card looks poor
Yeah got to b 3rd on the trot now. Some of local shows in the last year have been awful line ups.
Definitely been some right shit ones to be honest, I do think the Matchroom shows being in Brum may have had an effect but not all certain promoters don't seem bothered about making good fights.
All I ask is two fighters with winning records in a main event and as long as I've got nothing on I'll go, but that's all too rare lately and I'm not wasting my time or £ on shows with a 6 round v journeyman as headline. Just checked I did 5 shows in 2016 and only 2 of those where in the Midlands area.....the year before I did 9 shows and all 9 where in the Midlands area.

I went to a couple at Walsall but nothing compared to the couple of years b4. Like u say needs to be more competitive matches. Their seems to be plenty of unbeaten fighters but not stepped up at all.

Yeah definitely I was quite excited when MGM Birmingham launched as MGM Scotland seem well happy putting on lads 5-0-to 10-0 type records in with each other, but they're shows have been some of the worst 5 or 6 fights mostly 4 rounders v very late announced journeymen.
