The Homecoming plus Undercard - Spoilers

[smoothmoves]

I'm no Brook hater, far from it. But I'm starting to lose my patience with Ed.

[lefty]

I bet it's Mosley! A shot, well past his sell by date Mosley.

He mentioned Julio Diaz a few months back but I don't think that would be a big exciting name. Someone mentioned the IBO champ Van Heerden earlier and I guess that wouldn't be bad considering it's what? 9 weeks odd until September?

I'd be very surprised if it's one of the top 5 or 6 welterweights but then Brook is in line for an IBF title shot so risking that against say Maidana wouldn't be the wisest matchmaking.

I highly doubt it will be a top 10 Welterweight or Light Middleweight, it's more likely to be a faded star like Mosley or someone unknown like Van Heerden who while not a big name, I'm sure Hearn and Sky will somehow try and claim he is one.

It's not just the fact he's not a big name, he's not that good either!

I'm so cunting sick of British referees being so mysteriously squeamish when it comes to the imported guy looking marginally hurt or in distress so just having to stop him 'for his own safety'.

Hate British referees, British promoters, the whole mad gibbering Sky or Five or whatever teams of fanatical commentators and fawning analysts, all of them always in the same club on the same payroll, we're watching pure propaganda from start to finish.

Can't be bothered with this sport anymore. It's a joke.

See you later pal, take care...

He makes a valid point to be fair. I dont agree that it's all british refs and promoters and what have you but to say that isnt a big factor would be lying.

Luke campbell going on this hits like Matthysse

[smoothmoves]

Well what was the point in that?!

[lefty]

God the hype is gonna be unbearable now

[lefty]

Eddie jumps in from of the camera again

[smoothmoves]

God the hype is gonna be unbearable now

It never used to be this bad did it?

[palooka]

Well what was the point in that?!

Its the sky hype that puts me off fighters!

[pyenest77]

In fairness when was the last Matchroom fighter to lose in the UK?

[Andypittcov]

God the hype is gonna be unbearable now

You've just compared him to matthysse

[smoothmoves]

Fair enough, I'm glad they have a local hero and good luck to him. but that is an undercard fight all day long. Brook Jones was good enough (on paper) to headline.

Thats because 9 times out of 10 when matchroom fighters are fighting in the uk they're fighting someone who hasnt got a hope in hell

Gavin Rees?

Have I missed something? Why so much hype about Campbell? Is he that popular to warrant all this?

[lefty]

Dave Clarke: "you can see the pound note signs in Eddie's eyes"

[citybluechris]

hope to see a lot more of Campbell in next few months I aint taking a lot from this fight, all hyped to the heavens and 2nd kd should not of counted but he did what he had to do so fairplay but few more fights then ill personally judge Campbell as a pro

Olympic gold medallist. It's understandable I guess.
