Wow. You have actually scored this. Hardcore fan right there.

[Sammy Scaff]

Tetleys not my cup of tea

[KiwiRider]

I can’t tell for definite from the camera angles, but there’s a lot of bored people sat ringside.

72k were through the turnstiles about an hour ago. It will be full now. The dawning reality will be hitting home to the punters now. They will be crossing their fingers for some atmosphere. So too the PPV buyers. I feel ripped off and I've not paid.

with the cash Fury and Whyte are sharing there was never going to be enough left to pay for anyone decent

It's a real shame, this should have been an "event" not one fight with an utterly boring 2+ hour wait.
When your a promotor, you factor in a "show" not one fight that drains all the money out. Big mistake and bad for boxing. If the main event is a stinker, how many of that crowd will fork out in the future?

[MasterG]

Don't think they'll have this done and dusted by curfew. Do they get fined if they don't?

What time is curfew?

11pm

Never known a boxing event have to be done by 11pm. I'm guessing there will be a licence. And yes the borough council will fine the promotion if it goes beyond that.

Tetley's nickname is TNT...irony?

[bigjack]

I just watched Nelson v DeLeon to fire me up for the main event

[jimmystone]

Tim Bradley has just said that both of these two are going to need their day job. Burn.

I just turned 10 dollars into 55 dollars while watching this fight for free in my bed. And I still feel ripped off.

You turning tricks again Greg?

[skanksta]

I thought Ekow got that fairly comfortably and it wasn't as bad (or as close) as everyone said.

I wish, at least I'd be distracted. Instead I bet on ekow by points.

[forcefraser]

Worst undercard in history

[DrDuke]

So, the execution of Whyte is up next!

An absolute classic!

Possibly one of the worst world title bouts between two Hall-of-Fame worthy fighters that has ever been staged during boxing’s long history.

[jimmystone]

Neil Diamond saves the day (again).

I don't think it was that bad either. My score was with giving Tetley most of early rounds when he was a bit sharper but think Woodhall was right about needing uppercut or something a bit more imaginative.
