I think it's because women's mma exploded.

I don't watch mma. Do they show lots of women's fight then mate?

They should have stayed at Welter and accepted that he needs to avoid rangy boxer/mover types as much as possible.


All in all, I enjoyed the card, Price vs Ali was a bit of a mess but had a bit controversy, the main event was one sided but Egginton gave it a good go for a few rounds, and Hughes/Davies and Fowler/Fitz were both very good fights.

They threw him to the slaughter,beefy is a tough lmw world level fighter and sam got beat at european level at ww,this was matchroom introducing smith at the expense of eggington and Eddie Hearn and Adam Smith should be ashamed of themselves. Similar to when they threw Gavin to Brook.

True. They could have had him with a known European boxer. But instead, it made more sense to them to put him on an all-BrItish fight with a guy who got toasted his last bout.
