I have no prob with Hughie having an easy one back.
However being the main event live on terrestrial tv is damaging
Indeed. A large volume of ridicule on social media. Makes the sport look shit. As does this empty venue.

They couldn't have found a duller contender than Hughie to put in a main event. Channel 5 must have known what they were getting. Even destroying a far inferior opponent in 2 rounds tonight you couldn't describe HF as exciting. The people who make these decisions are not interested in the future of boxing.
Agreed,that's not going to attract anyone to tune in next time,in fact the complete opposite i'd have thought.

I don't think there is any security there tonight to tell him to sit down, as only 50 people paid to go.

Yeah.
That should be the undercard opener or floater.
Channel 5 should demand better.

Well that guy was only about 1% as hurt as hughies cousin was in his last fight lol
If Fury Wilder was in Britain it would have been waved off instantly if this fight was in the U.S it’d prob have lasted 15 rounds

When braithwaite entered the ring did anyone notice fake sounding cheering? Like when you watch an American comedy and they add the fake laughing? Was dead weird

Reminds me of WCW back in the day doing the pre-recorded "Goldberg!" chants.
The chants were not pre-recorded.

6ft double Olympian Super Middleweight Savannah Marshall v 5'6" Super Welterweight Borislava Goranova, who's been boxing and losing to Lightweights and Super Lightweights in her last few bouts, was an absolute matchmaking farce.

Just watched it, it was poor, very poor. Not a good look for boxing live on terrestrial television.

Should have just done it at the Bolton Whites again. Looks more presentable.
