I've been watching the darts on BBC2. More entertaining.

8-4 to Campbell on my score card, but been watching the darts.

Undercard was pretty weak indeed. I hope, the main event will fix this disappointing situation.

Fair play to Campbell that was a good performance, great win made the necessary adjustments to beat Mendy handily this time, wasn't much on his shots a lot of the time but he did sit down on them sometimes, Mendy stalked put pressure on but was reluctant to let his hands go when in range, Campbell jabbed well, moved well and landed some nice left hands to the head and body, fought at a good pace, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep moving like that for 12 but he done it at a canter

His inability to really put a fighter off with strong punching is a real weakness though. A stronger fighter similar to Mendy could be real trouble for him.
Re: Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs. Alexander Povetkin - 22 September 2018
camp should fight him then and get a career best win over a well known brit name who is still fairly relevant

119-109? Anybody else think this is bs?
Re: Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs. Alexander Povetkin - 22 September 2018
That was personal for Campbell. He knew he was a class above Mendy and he proved it. Fair play to him.

Whyte's on screen charisma reminds me of that bloke who ended up on BBC News live on tv when he’d just come for a job interview.

Yeah this has been garbage so far, worse than an average Saturday Fight Night.Loftgroov wrote: ↑22 Sep 2018, 16:35 Obviously we haven't had the main event yet... but based on the undercard this has to be the WORST Matchroom PPV event to date?
David 'Girl Guide' Price retiring after 4 rounds - to hopefully f.cuk off into obscurity now - followed by quite possibly the worst fight I have ever seen in Okolie v Askin, and now a fairly dull fight in Campbell v Mendy. This Campbell fight hasn't been terrible, but I've hardly been glued to the screen either.
Bellew v Cleverley 2 is looking positively fair value compared to this.
Joshua v Povetkin had better be epic....

The Bellew v Usyk staredown has been the best entertainment so far.....Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑22 Sep 2018, 16:47Yeah this has been garbage so far, worse than an average Saturday Fight Night.Loftgroov wrote: ↑22 Sep 2018, 16:35 Obviously we haven't had the main event yet... but based on the undercard this has to be the WORST Matchroom PPV event to date?
