stop

I haven't even started. We all know Skye isn't on these shows because she sells tickets. Because she doesn't.

Please stop it, you're making a tit of yourself.

Shades of Hopkins in the Smith Jr fight from Whittaker

I thought that! They’ve been studying the tapes

[MightyWarrior]

Yeh First thing I thought was Hopkins too

[SeanBrennan]

What a Gainsborough boy in against No Doubt with no gloves on? Nice one

Indeed, Rico Franco, a really nice, quiet lad who did am boxing, pro MMA and then BKB and ended up one of the best. I randomly used to work with his mum (now sadly passed), they are a lovely family, and used to train with his Pa. He fights with a stoma as he has crohns, he's such a decent lad, I really hope he wins. He's an enigma, lovely lad just randomly super tough, but not a nobhead at all.

Well you’ve defo got me rooting for him mate.

thanks mate.

When I watch women box it reminds me of watching juniors box on a club show. You can see some skill and respect that they’ve done all what’s been asked of them to compete but in all honesty I’m just waiting for them to get out and watch the bigger lads get in

This is pretty much the crux of the matter and I’ve had a similar conversation a lot lately. I guess it comes down to, do you like watching a good fight between lower abilities or do you like watching the crème de la crème?

I’m not saying about you, but I’m going the women’s footy and all tomorrow

It's not really about lower abilities for me, it's the severe lack of power on display. Basically takes all jeopardy out of the fights.

If you can't take a joke, take a shuttle.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Or maybe he was injured?

Trouble is it’s really difficult to see how his leg could have got injured.

I breathed a sigh of relief when they didn’t carry on down to the floor, couldn’t have imagined in that moment that Whitaker was going to be “unable to continue”.

Highly suspect.

Ben Quittaker

Highly rated comment

Jokes are funny.

Excellent performance form Nicholson. Her and Serrano would be a fantastic match up.

[rd350lc]

Is it safe to start watching again?

[cormack]

you can tell the girls are on !

[Sendo Takeshi]

Notice king tut tut .just left his seat . Hes paying for it and even he cant watch it Lol

.
Even people who bought tickets were playing a boxing game in the hallway rather than watching the fight.

For two blokes falling over the top rope, it appeared almost graceful. I agree with whoever predicted Whitaker will make a surprisingly quick recovery (once he is allowed to leave hospital of course…).

Exactly that. It’s like watching a completely different sport

[SeanBrennan]

Eubank on next against a fella who last out fought a draw for the Polish SMW title....

In Eubank's defence, he's still young at 35...

turki is like a 5 year old just picking this one vs that one .

FFS eubank should not be on this card

NextGen is such a daft nickname at his age.

[handsofstone]

Briedis made a good point on Twitter that usually when someone hurts themselves they hold the injured bit, Whittaker just lay there

[skanksta]

I'm sure 95% of us don't care that's it's women, we just want good fights..?

That was TV poison.
I've seen some great women's fights that I've really enjoyed, it's just that it's so bloody rare !
9/10 women's fights don't deliver.

I've always enjoyed watching Jnr fight, more entertaining than his bad, dunno why they haven't offered him a bigger fight, suppose he is with Shalom though.
Not sure why Shalom has been brought on board, maybe he wants the Clarke fight.
I expect Benn v Eubank in Saudi before long
