Which card is the best to watch this weekend

[veriton]

With three clashing 'world title' cards this Saturday night, which one will you be watching?

I'm going for Dazn live as feel like Wood v Lara should be the most explosive. Catterall return interesting and Terri Harper is decent. Some decent prospects on the undercard.

Will tivo the Conlan card on bt sport. Fair card but not much of an excitement factor overall. Would be happy to watch live if nothing else clashing but this one ranks second for me.

Don't have Sky and will catch up with that on YouTube later if it's a decent fight. CBS v Okolie may be best attended but Okolie is a tough watch. Hope CBS chins him but more likely is an awful spectacle.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The Sky card will be on Showcase, so may record that.

Watch DAZN live.

Conlan main event will be 9am ring walks.., then switch to DAZN

Both DAZN and Sky cards lost really good fights. Conway-Udofia and Lawal-Chamberlain. I think Eggington-Pigford will be a great fight but other than that I'm not massive on the Sky undercard. Catterall's return will be a good fight as you say.

lawal fight isnt happening, pigford should be good

shame cbs isnt fighting the other champions. okile will either the place out or dominate him. (hope im wrong)
think lara fight will be the same fight as the first.
havent looked into the belfast card.

[Ezzard]

Love BT's old school feel to their productions. Will likely go with them for that reason.

DAZN has a slick feel to it. Feels like a good night out. I love them too. Bit more glamour.

SKY has Anna and Macklin. I like the team. But it's started to feel a bit naff. Buatsi praying was embarrassing. Okolie going on about ecological issues was cringe. It's not that those things might not be interesting it's just how they're shown. You could see the guy who led the prayer for Buatsi doing a David Brent glance at camera afterwards. And the kid who does the backstage chat. The fist bumping and the rest. Please have mercy...

Also, Eddie and the Warrens have presence. Shalom comes across as a 6th former going out for his first pint. I hope he grows into the role for his own sake.

Much of a muchness between the Boxxer and Matchroom card. Gutted that Chamberlain v Lawal was canned.

If I were to bet on a fight to disappoint tho then Okolie would be the one to stink the joint out with holding.

I just hope he gets docked points when his antics go beyond what’s acceptable which is usually fairly early with him.

[Kilburn]

It’s Lara v Wood II all day for me. I’ll record Okolie to watch afterwards (and will no doubt be using the fast forward button quite a bit).

Yeah agree about BT i'll be watching that one live.

Also agree about Sky, it's amazing how much their coverage has dumbed down, i'll record that and fast forward all the nonsense. Looking forward to the main event, i think Okolie is very overrated and CBS might cause him a lot of problems. Has Okolie had a gutcheck yet in his career ? Will be interesting to see how he reacts in front of an hysterical crowd if CBS has some success early doors.

[MightyWarrior]

Yeh agree Sky stuff is still forehead slappingly bad, I was horrified by that effort to give Buatsi a big push with call to prayer stuff, laughably contrived by some suits in a sky meeting ( or “scrum down” as sky refer to their in-house meetings ) and those Okolie interviews trying to make the poor guy more interesting out of the ring to make up for the fact he’s so boring inside the ring…anyway, battle on the beach has a nice ring to it so I’ll switch over to that once the bell rings …assuming the 3 bills cockeyed times work out. Hope either Okolie or Smith deliver big I don’t mind who, though thinking about it, Smith would be preferable as he’ll bring the hometown atmosphere if he does somehow grab a big title.

Conlan fight will be good I expect. And I’ll definitely tune in for the Nick Ball fight. ( how about a Lara v Ball shootout in a few fights time ) and of course Woods Lara II is THE main event tonight

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gonna post three different RBR’s.

One for each event.

Let’s have no spoilers on the threads.

Plenty on here will be watching 3 of them. Some
Recorded.

Me included.

Eggington v Pigford should be fun

[veriton]

Eggington v Pigford should be fun

forgot about that one - it is a belter. imagine that as a chief support to lara wood 2, would have been perfect

Eggerton being used again to make up for a boring top of the bill! Hope he is getting paid well, it's a fight he should easily win too.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Which was the best main event then?

Or even the best card?

[brilo33]

billiam smith he is the draw

Due to working shit hours; on the roads; at night; often at weekends, I have had to listen to most big fights on the radio in recent years.

As much as I like big Ron and have learned to tolerate Bunce, I was probably the only boxing fan in the country that was happy to have three good shows on this weekend. As it gave me a chance to sit down with a glass (or three) of whiskey and enjoy a spot of pugilism.

Mackinson looked his usual, slick but featherfisted self, solid euro level, but will likely always fall short at world level (nothing wrong with that btw).

Good to see Eggington still going strong, I do like to see a grizzled, battle hardened, veteran bash up a padded record prospect once in a while.

Great to see Okolie's reign of terror has come to an end, CBS boxed well under the circumstances. I usually dislike McDonnell for getting too evolved, but think he was the right mam for the job tonight. The fact that Okolie was knocked down 3 times and had 2 point deductions, yet managed to only lose by MD sums up everything wrong with the sport.

I skipped the girl's fights. Nothing against women's boxing, I just wasn't bothered.
Kariss' fight looked a gimme and Harper Vs not Braekhus seemed pointless.

Nick ball boxed solidly imo and eventually broke down a skilled and awkward opponent, hopefully Lamati makes a full recovery.

Never really liked Conlan, but glad he looked to recover from the pasting he took from Lopez.
He has been exposed twice now, both by ktfo after making strong starts. Surely he will have to put some serious work in to get back in the title mix.

I thought Catterall looked pretty sharp against a tough and game, yet limited opponent. It got a bit messy at times, but still quite entertaining. I felt the point deduction was harsh as I don't think he saw his hand touch down, but it had no overall bearing.

Wood put on an almost punch perfect display against Lara, it needed to be as one mistake and Mauricio will make you pay. Lara still a big player in the division imo.

All in all a good night of boxing, maybe the last I will be able to enjoy in a while. All three cards offered me entertainment in one way or another.

[KiwiRider]

Wood was the best for me.
Sure there could have been a bit more engagement, but after the first fight a lot of people didn't even think a rematch was worthwhile, Wood proved them wrong and boxed an almost perfect 12 rounds against a fearsome opponent. That is a rarity, even a super skilled prime Khan couldn't manage it all the time.

[veriton]

Really pleased to watch Wood win that, he took a few heavy shots early on and there was a feeling he could fall apart at any moment even though Lara, wasn't at his best. Really hope the Warrington fight happens now.

Catterall very impressive, didn't show any rust despite real inactivity. Looks genuine world level.

Bit disappointed with Nick Ball, yes the opponent was tough but Ball usually guarantees fireworks and this was a bit of a slog.

Feel sorry for Conlan, likely the end of top tier pretentions unless Wood gives him a rematch at the city ground.

Need to watch the CBS win but that's a win for boxing as stinker Okolie is a drag on the sport.

So Dazn won it for me overall, BT second and hopefully Sky can move on from backing the likes of LO and get some entertainment on
