Hoping for a TLC matchup? Oddbod.

The undercard is pretty interesting, hope that helps.

I can't wait. Decent undercard. Will be interesting to see how good Mitchell & Degales opponents are.

I wish I was going but have booked the day off work. Just need to hope I get a decent stream as there's zero chance of the fight being shown anywhere around where I live.

Do you think any of the away fighters will win?

The undercard is bland.

I think they could. I think Mitchell and Degale are in real fights.

I know you've got butterflies, you old kidder you.

They could, but they won't.

The undercard looks pretty lame.

I prefer domestic battles, rather than British prospect/contender vs okay foreigner.

So do I, but it doesn't make this undercard bland. Surely the main event will satisfy your domestic bloodlust.

The main event is very good.

The undercard is fairly poor.

Gamal Yafai has been added. No opponent yet but obviously it's his second fight thus he will be on first up.

Cannot wait for Legg v Joshua. Should be a cracker.............Joshua will learn a lot from this fight, very vital/relevant for his road to British level. Hearn said in an interview recently that Joshua could beat Fury (that's Tyson not Hughie). He really put his money where his mouth is for this one!!

It's decent. Not captivating but something I'll tune in to with a bit of interest.

Adam and Eddie have had everyone's pants down here.

The controversial and highly contentious ending (no disrespect to Howard here) to the first fight, coupled with the poor matchmaking on the undercard and the fact it was PPV should have meant that SKY/Matchroom maybe gave us the rematch for "free" with a reasonable undercard but instead it's PPV again and everyone's been bent over the tickets due to "demand" and they're talking it up like it's the fight of the decade.

What happens if the rematch is either anticlimactic or ends early?

It's a bit of a joke really.

I'm planning on finding a pub the next day for the England vs Barbarians game and some kind of Sunday Roast/hangover cure food served.

A can these days is basically a pint - I would imaging most people would be quite hungover after 9 pints! I certainly wouldn't fancy a day in the office after that...

He likes beer, so I expect he has built up a tolerance.

Though I won't disagree, I will point out that it's getting slightly harder to tolerate the older I get. :(

Early 30s. Too old to drink like you used to, but young enough to still want to.

See, I could've just said that in the first post, as it's what I meant.

I have a tendency to waffle.

Better than the first fight, which surprises me cos the first fight shouldn't have been on PPV if you ask me. Rematch was always going to capture irrespective of who is on the bill.

Intrigued by the Mitchell and Degale fights. I would even go so far as saying that if either brit wins it ranks as their best win of their career.

With Mitchell you might say Murray and Prescott and Degale you might say Smith, but both appear to be in legitimate eliminator fights. I'd say if both come through, they deserve their shot at the title. Whereas Paul Smith seems to be getting his shot on the back of getting KO'd by Groves.

A pathetic tolerance at that. 9 cans, with meal breaks is not worthy of the username.

You've not peaked yet; wait till your mid 40's you drink like a maniac to blot out the pain and welcome the hangover

one word

CRAP!

Though won't be meal breaks with this one.

Well, there will be, I guess. I'll be eating whilst I'm drinking. So there'll be a meal, even if that won't be a break involved.

Well it won't be alcohol related that's for sure.

I think overall this is a decent undercard and i say that as someone that gives Eddie stick.

is it me or is there only four fights on the froch vs groves undercard on saturday??

Adam1991 wrote:is it me or is there only four fights on the froch vs groves undercard on saturday??

I think there's quite a lot more, which haven't been formally announced. Last week, Eddie said on Sky that Gamal Yafai will be on the show. I imagine there's a few "appearance" bouts due.
