Yeah. To be clear I'm saying blackpanther is talking rubbish. Not that the match room card was rubbish. People who complain about Matchroom cards need to look at what else we get served up. I think the Matchroom undercards are better. Yeah they have more fighters but its not like the other main promoters haven't had their chance.

I agree matchroom cards are generally better and last Saturday's card looks better than this Saturday. I'm not complaining about the card. But beforehand; which fights exactly were 50-50 last Saturday's card? Hindsight is 20/20. Sure Matthews-Coyle was a cracking fight as was Brook-Jones. But beforehand Matthews was a clear favourite as was Brook over Jones according to the bookies.


Am I really talking rubbish?

EDIT: Guess I am talking rubbish Okay I concede; Matthews - Coyle was a 50-50 fight according to the bookies also. It's just I would have thought Matthews would be a solid favourite given his better standard of opposition. Shows what I know

Yeah fair enough you've acknowledged it now. I was referring to Mathews v Coyle as 50-50 and the Lee Selby fight was a boring fight but a closer fight than one of the scorecards gave. I had it 116-112, and given the opponent was very highly ranked so I thought that was a good fight for a guy like Selby at the stage he is at. Brook v Jones I thought was a mismatch but obviously Brooks coming back from injury and it was entertaining, and the other fights were in the main mismatches but were mostly involving guys really early in their careers (or debuting.)

Personally what I expect from a decent bill is 2 pretty even fights in the top 4 fights on the bill, and with the bill this weekend we aren't getting that and weren't getting that even with Frampton on the bill too.

i see a few weeks ago he was due to fight but i watched the weigh in and i didn't see him weigh in .

Did Carl have an ear complaint so his team called the Board who in turn sent a doctor to look at him and the doctor ruled him out? Did he hurt his ear previously and the doctor picked it up and wanted to look at it again before he next boxed? Did Carl know he couldn't box because of his ear so his team called the Board doctor so it gave more credibility to him pulling out?

Every fighter goes through a medical pre fight, if there's an issue the board can refuse to sanction the fighter.

The pre fight medical is usually done at the weigh in, not a week before the actual fight.
