As long as you count those ghastly Interim titles
Someone buy the WBA and make one champ per weight please.

The Macklin fight seems decent. The others do look fairly crap though.

They do.
It's not the best PPV by any means, but it's far from the worst. They'll add Ortiz-Berto card too.

Good!
That makes more sense...... just wish reporters would get the titles right (even though it is not hard to see how the confusions starts). I figured because each had a WBA International title they had been queue-jumped to contest Interim (again, not hard to see why).

If Rees vs Crolla is on this card then that is a very good undercard fight.

Could have seen the Macklin-Ghevor fight being for an interim WBA belt but not the Murray or Quigg fights

Not that impressed with the bill.
Macklin gets an opponent, who was decent, but has had the fight beaten out of him and is no puncher.
Ghevor has good skills, so might cause an upset, as Macklin is very overrated, in my opinion, but I wouldn't expect him to get any favours or decision.
