After hearing what happened in Barry’s fight tonight I was kicking myself for cancelling DAZN but then I came on here and saw the news that this non fight tops a DAZN bill and I’m reassured that I made the right decision

I dont know what way ill bet of if ill bet. But id like to see the odds. if your getting 10-1 on algeri ill take a bit of that. If they offering even money on a benn KO ill take that... Likely wont get either and i wont bet on it. but im just suprised the odds arnt there.

I cancelled mine 3 months ago, and then all these fights just started coming up on Sky sports NZ. Canelo last week was free and live, Galahad today, and Bene this afternoon.
I have no clue why, and I'm not going to rock the boat. It is weird that it coincided with me quitting DZAN.
I think you made the right choice when the price went up. It is good for n December, but you won't have anything for 2-3 months after that.
And they put them up on YouTube within days anyway

Good for you Kiwi. Tbh i wouldn’t mind paying £8 a month even if there weren’t many decent fights on. It’s the unnecessary hype, treating us like children that I don’t like. And I know you don’t mind the women’s fights but I don’t like supporting a platform that fills its cards with them and again hypes them to high heaven.

I’ll probably be regretting my decision again if Teo v Kambo is a good scrap but for now I’m sticking to my guns.

I like the Teo , Kambo scrap ,, don't ask me why , just got a gut feeling Kambo is gonna probably lose but go out on his shield , the rest of the bollocks naaah , would'nt pay for it , I'd stream it Maybee if it interests me , or just watch it on u tube if i heard it was a good fight ,, Next one for me is Benn too get sparkeled , THEN maybee Eddie will have to put on 50 -50 fights to get people back

KATIE Taylor will defend her WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine World lightweight belts against Firuza Sharipova from Kazakhstan in the Liverpool Arena on December 11.

It will be Taylor’s last fight before her probable showdown against Amanda Serrano in New York’s Madison Square Garden in April 2022.

Twenty-seven-year old Sharipova, who became Kazakhstan’s first ever female professional fighter in 2016, is the WBA’s mandatory challenger for Taylor five belts.

Sharipova has picked up minor titles at super-featherweight, lightweight and super lightweight and has a 14-1 record. She lost her first fight against an opponent who Taylor would be particularly familiar with.

Five years ago in the Ice Palace in Moscow, she lost to Russian Sofya Ochigavia who was beaten in Taylor in the Olympic gold medal fight in London in 2012. Ochigavia only fought five times in pro boxing so a rematch against Taylor in the pro game never materialised.

At face value, Sharipova has a decent record and a better knock out rate than Taylor – 53% to 31%. But six of her 15 wins were against opponents who are making their pro debuts while she has only faced four opponents with a winning record.

Taylor has faced far more experienced opponents though she needs to be wary of Sharipova. "I'm looking forward to ending the year on a high with another defence of my titles,” said Taylor. “I know there are some huge fights out there for me in 2022 but for now my sole focus is on December 11 and this mandatory defence against Sharipova."

Taylor will be bidding for her 20th consecutive win since turning professional after the 2016 Rio Olympics.

It will also be a big night for Belfast middleweight Caoimhin Agyarko (9-0) who makes his Matchroom debut.

That's a poor opponent for Taylor at this stage. Not looking great this card.

60% of big fights seem to be cancelled or postponed the bookies prob can't be bothered pricing them up all the time then refunding the bets any more

Algieri is suspended by New York State Athletic Commission indefinitely, any idea why? could be why the bookies haven't priced it up.

That just means he can't fight in New York. Even though he won his last fight easily there.

Algieri in good shape. Benn looks good shaping up though and Chris is 37

I’m leaning towards a British stoppage in later rounds for Benn

I would hope Benn gets some rounds in with Algieri because he could learn from it.
But alas he hasn't shown any intelligence so far, probably go and try and blast him out in one.

Knowing him he’ll try doing a Vargas job but then Algieri isn’t a dumb boxer

True.
Chris could teach him a lot, if it goes rounds. This is the best boxer Connor has faced. Problem is, he may be a little fragile.
Everybody loves a good KO, but I think this is a good opportunity to upskill ready for the next level of opponent fir Benn.

British stoppage guaranteed.

Hearn will then say that Benn is ready for a world title, despite not haven beaten anyone with a pulse or fought any decent domestic opposition, despite there being plenty on offer.

Throw him in with Avenesian and put an end to this shatshow
