Lee Selby (IBF) vs. Josh Warrington - May 19th 2018

[Cholo_cws]

Fake news. The Selby van was attacked but not the actual team. No one was hurt

The Selby team have reported the Warrington team for racism due to them having two blow up sheep at the weigh in.

Jesus Lord protect us

Warrington and his team/fans are effing bellends

Aye. Seems to be the case.

My analysis for the big Lee Selby v Josh Warrington IBF World Featherweight Title Fight. #SelbyWarrington

[edb1000]

I think Selby is one of the most underrated fighters in the world but he looks incredibly drained at the weight. I Just hope they are both OK I don't care who wins now

[Boxerbeetle]

Cardiff always beat Leeds

[Boxerbeetle]

Just re-looked at the undercard for the first time in a while. Fvck me, that is bad

Not great is it! I noticed the French dude who Davies was supposed to be fighting is now fighting Catterall and Davies is taking on some Dutch scrub! Bit strange!

[ashedward]

Selby has no chance of getting a decision the judges will want to get out of there alive.

Yes. I thought they both looked so gaunt.

Yeh. It's cards like this where Warreń is supposed to get a decent undercard. He probably thought Selby-Warrington is the only sell. Which is quite right. The stadium will get more full towards the main event.
But sometimes, fans want to go an enjoy all the fights on the card, or for us on TV, we want to watch a few good scraps on the undercarf to get us pumped for the main event.

Its bloody awful mate, who the hell wants to sit through that ? The main event aside its hardly an advertisement for the game.

I'm over at Mrs house with the kids tomorrow so I've set it to record and I'll watch it on Sunday so I'll be able to forward through all the crap!

It's short term thinking as well. Other decent fights on the undercard get people interested in watching those boxers again in the future. Sometimes you've got to speculative to accumulate rather than money grabbing all the time.

Its not like he couldn't of got some 50/50 matches on without breaking the bank, theres a lot of boxers out there that would jump at the chance of the exposure they would get on this show even on crap money, pull yer finger out Frank its not all about the masses you have to cater for the hard core also.

Definitely.

This undercard reminds me if when Hearn put on a cheap and not very cheerful undercard to main events which have taken up all the money but it wouldn't of taken much to make the undercard ok.

Ismail Khan, top 5 England LEEDS boxer badly racially abused by Josh “fans” at weigh in. Absolutely disgusting.

Where did you read that mate ? Or were you there ?

That is seriously bad form

They are Leeds fans, it isn't suprising

[keirw]

Why aren't Catterall and Davies fighting eachother?

Having that as chief support would have improved the card no end.

Ps. I like Josh but I'm finding myself hoping he will lose just so his fans f*ck off back to football. They seem a right bunch of pr*cks.

Exactly .....Catterall has apparently given up his British Title to fight a journeyman on an undercard in Preston and tonight faces another poor opponent. Shameful really.
He’s being touted as challenging Flanagan should he win his world title next month ...all very disappointing but sadly predictable.

[rd350lc]

Hope Warrington gets a schooling .

His so called "fans " are an embarrassment and his behaviour hasn't been much better.

Agreed with the last couple of posts , the undercard is shocking .

Call fast car what you want, he knows how to put on a show .

His trainer is my friend.

[mickey1975]

His trainer has produced countless national, European schoolboys, Commonwealth reps for 30 years. He’s known Josh since he was 11. He’s fuming he’s selling it like this.

Isn't Davis fighting leather soon aswell so guessing it's just to get a couple rounds. Warren will keep them all part unless their challenging each other for a world title to keep the title in-house

[samwbr]

Racism in Leeds. Whodathunkit.
