They are his fighters and it's on Sky, so I'm giving Hearn a pass tonight.

Liking the fact Lamptey has some desire, completely lacks in skill but I like to see a guy try to win and he certainly is trying

Ok but the quality of fights on British boxing on sky sports is getting worse of that there's no doubt maybe June 26 will be better

Bucket man has lost the bucket.
We need to consult expe to find out how much the bucket man is setting Lamptey back, but it is funny.

Have they kept Gavin/Van Heerden on, this would have been a decent card. But no, they need to sell oversized ppv. So instead we have this Freakington vs Humpty.

Hearn skysports monopoly is killing british boxing, he does not make the fights the fans want to see. Shite promter who is not doing a good job for skysports subscribers. Skysports need to get someone in quality control for the sake of the subscribers who has the power to turn down fights that Hearn wants to make
Are you forgetting about Burns' and McDonnell's fights tonight?
Are you forgetting who is promoting that card??? Its certainly not Matchroom. If it was it would be PPV.

Why was the camera angle for the last ten seconds of the fight of Lamptey's arse?

Was a fun exchange before the ref stepped in...time and time again though...Eggington was in charge but there was no need to step in there...

Got to admit that I was really disappointed in Eggington. Other guy was cack. Good job Lamptey couldnt punch because he got caught far too often by wild swings. Needs to work on that defence if he wants to go any further.
Nice belt for him though. Good luck to him.

Hearn's fighters and it's on Sky, so Hearn still deserves credit.

We had better not have any spoilers from the Texas show on here from anyone.
