Ray really struggles to make weight. That will definitely be a factor in his decision making.

I would.

I generally disagree with the forum on two heavies: Hrg and Wardley. I think Hrg's the most overrated since Pulev, and that Wardley could reach 5-10 in the rankings with a fair wind.

I agree re Wardley, he seems to fight better when he gets whacked

Is this going to be worth getting excited about?

Gawd, when did this get so corny?

great card! hope the fights stick

Think Bivol, ford, Austin and richards will get the win for the non heavyweight fights I think.

I really struggle to have a pick on the two heavyweight fights…

Hrg vs DDD… part of me says hrg to good but that’s based on him looking good as a rank prospect befor he put on 30lb and fell in love with power… 50-50 well if I had to 49ddd- 51hrg

Zhang vs wilder also feel it’s a 50-50 wilder will find right hands early… will they flatline Zhang? Zhang will also land, and hard to imagine wilder taking that either… I would edge it to Zhang which feels insane knowing wilder will land a few bombs…. 49 wilder - 51 Zhang type thing for me initially.

I’ll be honest this is a hell of a lot better than I expected.

f@cking saudis and their endless cash

card is like playing fantasy matchmaker

Looks like a superb show!

Amazing show. Will struggle on PPV though I think as it doesn’t have a fight that will get casual fans excited.

I’ll be all over Ammo Williams.

He's nearly a 2/1 underdog. He's definitely a live dog at least.

Wait, this is the Bert/Bivol undercard, isn’t it?

Yup.

Sheeraz v Williams, very interesting match on paper.

I’ve slated Wilder for years but I think he could stop Zhang late.

Yup.

That’s insanity. Most of these fights would be forced as headliners over here. Be great for betting this

I don't care if the atmosphere is shite , don't care if there's corny filler bits in-between fights (not that they'll be much time ) ,
Don't care if the place is full of celebrities and stars (whatever they are doesn't impress me)

All hail Mr Turkey.
What a night of boxing.

it really is a brilliant card. I think we'll all be watching. I think Willy Hutchinson could cause an upset here. I think Spider is going to be a fantastic fighter under Shane too. Genuinely exciting. I love watching Nick Ball too, like a pitbull. Seems very relaxed too.

Love him or loathe him, this is what he is great at.

Well....hard to grumble about this being PPV. What a night's boxing this will be.

surprised by the Willy appearance - he was a shooting star till Lennox Clarke exposed his glass jaw. he's dangerous if he doesn't take a hit to the chin though.

Just bonkers to do this on the same day as the Champs League final given the potential UK audience for this. Timings may be interesting?
