I think the general standard of undercards on these behind-closed-doors shows have been very poor. Last night was an example of this and tonight’s too.

The problem for promoters is that if the main event is shocking the undercard is not saving them.

I’m intrigued for tonight’s main event, more so than last night’s.

Ramabeletsa versus Bourke ought to be competitive but the rest looks uninspiring. International amateurs against the likes of Jamie Quinn and Lewis Van Poetche. I thought this was meant to be a celebration of FWs 40 years in the business ? Ironic really.

I disagree. Matchroom’s undercards have been consistently better than Frank’s since the start of lockdown. Last week’s main event was great from Frank and this week’s is pretty good (although I’m not as excited about it as some as I think Yarde wins comfortably).

Come on lads let’s get up for this main event at least.

As Jim Watt would always say - “Sometimes an unbeaten fighter just doesn’t think he can be beat”.

Or something like that.

The 50/50 cards and no easy fights in lockdown didn’t last long on both BT and Sky .

Headline fights and Undercards have been extremely poor and one sided at times but I must admit I’ve really enjoyed the odd upset .

Frank could be having kittens tonight if Lyndon produces - similar odds to Joe Joyce last weekend so it’s far from mission impossible.

Fair play to Jim Watt. Great analysis.
