for the British CW Title.
David Haye promoting.
Wadi Camacho is co-main.
Joe Joyce also on the card.

Who wins the main event?

[smiling assassin]

Askin on points for me. Not been impressed with Simmons

[Stuarty]

Looking forward to this one. I'll be rooting for Simmons but I think Askin takes it on points possibly by late KO but I hope I'm wrong.

Why is Camacho co main?

Why is Camacho co main?

Camacho is the only other recognisable name on the card so far, i just thought his match would be second to last.
I assume they may match the winners up...

Haven't they not both beaten Camacho? I remember Simmons beat him by late KO a few years back didn't he?

Edit.. Just had a look there. He's not fought Askin. Doh!

The Cruiserweight division is exciting at the minute, even the domestic scene has a fun bunch of names to mix and match...

[Sklar]

Adkin will wear Simmons down and it’ll be waved off in the tenth.

Cruiserweight will never become the blue riband division for casuals but it should be the purists’ favourite.

2nd joyce opponent in a row id never heard of

Supposed he's getting kept busy

[handsofstone]

Good fight this, both guys are strong and although not KO punchers, they hit pretty hard, i'd like to see Simmons pull it off but I fancy Askin strongly in this one, he's more experienced and durable than Simmons, he's beat some good domestic Cruisers and looked great when he KO'd Kennedy, I can see him nailing and hurting Simmons at some point in the fight and I think he'll get him out of there midway

Is this card on TV?

[ste1983]

Thought this would be shown on Dave but not according to my planner.........disappointing

[wesshaw1985]

Is this card on TV?

I believe it is on Channel 5 in the UK...

[Oiky]

Askin wins for me

[willardx]

Looks like only Joe Joyce on channel 5. Bit disappointing. Come on hayemaker

[ste1983]

Oh yeah Hayemaker's new deal is Channel 5 isn't it dumb moment from me thinking it was Dave again.

Shame looks like 5 will only show the joyce fight and poss highlights of this after, what happened to them having the undercards on Spike!

[The_Don1]

Askin has improved immensely of late, can't see anything but an Askin stoppage win here

[handsofstone]

Fvcking scandalous if we don't get full Askin/Simmons fight, its a British title fight FFS, i'd rather miss Joyce's knockover job

[Oiky]

Yea be better than watching joyce slap about an overmatched opponent

[Stuarty]

I saw the show doesn't start til 10.30 on C5. Looks as if it's gonna be Joyce live then highlights of the rest. Rank rotten man!

[Taansend]

Why?

[Tangerine]

They might show the undercard live on SportBible facebook page.They did this last week with Glen Foot v Jason Easton.

Here is the interview I did last night with Matty Askin.

He's made unique changes leading up to this fight and he might keep them moving forward.
