Tempted to sub back to DAZN, was going to wait until next week but I might do it now. GGG fight the 29th December so probably gonna need the 2 months rather than 1.

Part of me feels like I'm enabling sub standard cards but theres some good American cards coming up and 2 UK in December plus GGG so it's pretty stacked altogether to finish the year.

He’s probably seen the purse bid for Wood/Conlan and thought that worst case if he’s made mandatory he’ll get a decent payday from purse bids and probably more than he’d have been offered for the voluntary.
Or he's one of the list who doesn't want to fight Galahad and would rather wait and hopes he moves up a division.
Did Barry get a lot more as a mandatory than a champion?

Yes. Get DAZN back. Forget UK cards. Some really good US cards.

Munguia-Rosado tonight
There’s even a decent Spanish card this month.
Teo-Kam finally this month
Haney-Diaz
Andrade-Quigley card

This above is al just one months worth sub £7.99 why not.

Then next month, we have the Parker-Chisora, who knows it might be good, the undercard is decent tho. We also have GGG as well now. Probably another couple cards.

Sold?

Yeah it's hard to complain about that! I was going to wait until Andrade Quigley but may as well get it today. I'll go between it and Hennessy card :box:

Another pish weak card from Hearn. He's struggling bad at the minute.

If Joshua loses the rematch then he is up shat creek. Basically admitted that he has no confidence in Conor Benn (avoiding Avenesian like the plague.

Who has he got as the next big star? Canelo treating him like a rubbing rag, Garcia done, his UK stable aint what it used to be.

He needs to up his game big time and the dross we are being served tonight (yet another pointless women's fight, in fact 2 tonight) just ain't good enough.

Regarding the 11th December show are we meant to feel privileged to watch Benn fight an ancient Algerie and Katy Taylor defend against some woman we have never heard of?

Because the champion was terrified at the prospect of the fight not being in Leeds it's rumoured he got more than the champion.

There are a couple of decent competitive looking fights early doors on the show. I haven’t seen the running order yet but they’ll either be late on YouTube or early on the main show. The Donte Dixon fight is a good step up and the Flint/Hunt fight should be good too. The rest is a bit meh.

I think Eddie’s a bit worried U.K. wise about Sky. Sky are throwing loads at their shows now marketing wise so the viewing figures are/will be good and fighters will be thinking that perhaps Eddie isn’t the best option anymore now he’s with DAZN.

His shows are quite up and down. The Fight Camp shows on the whole were good, the Liverpool show was great but others, like tonight, have been average. He wasn’t meant to be announcing the Benn undercard a few days ago but he’s delayed it to try and strengthen it given they’re now up against Williams/Eubank. Surely it should have been strong enough from the start?

The Manchester show, bar the unwanted main event is excellent so hopefully it stays together.

Fortunately DAZN have got a fairly loaded overseas end to the year and I’m really looking forward to the Diaz/Haney fight, Lopez/Kambosos fight (after all the Triller rubbish) and the Golovkin fight.

Barry was never gunna b the a side trying to avenge his defeat and tonight is the prime example. Harper has sold the show and their wont b over 5 thousand. Warrington sold their fight. How many tickets has Barry done tonight and how many did he sell against warrington. His always been a undercard fighter unless it was on channel 5 in a leisure centre on a hennersay show.

As for the split isnt it 65 35 to the champion.

Martinez has prob sold more tickets tonight than Barry!

But I guess Eddie will earn his money sending Galahad over to the States to get beat.

Congratulations to Kiko :clap:
I don't recall Warrington getting much stick after losing. He's deservedly had plenty for quitting his belt to avoid the mandatory.
Well done to Kiko for his win last night. He shouldn't need congratulating for taking the fight but there were plenty who turned down the opportunity.

Was Steve Gray telling Kiko off for celebrating, he seemed like such a cock. Basically a Matchroom staff member at this stage.

I think he was just telling him to pipe down a little until they know Kid was oryt.

Apart from that, it seemed Steve Gray was very happy for Kiko and congratulated him many times.

Didn't watch the fight just saw the highlights on dazn page. I hope kid is ok. Its not nice seeing someone down like that thats speaking from experience. I take it theirs a rematch clause do u think that will happen or will kid move up in weight. I'm no fan but his last couple of weigh ins he hasn't looked good on the scales.

Galahad got sparked by Kiko in one of the more embarrassing KO's in recent times. Now isn't the time to start going on about people ducking Galahad.

He seemed really pleased for him. Probably speaking to him in Spanish.
