If you look at this picture of MatchRoom's boxers they do look like a very dangerous team with most of them just starting out on their professional journey. Apart from the well established (Froch), who out of these boxers excites you the most and do you think these guys could dominate British Boxing?

Great promo. Pleased to hear they're putting on 20 shows a year, plus anything Sky picks up from America, good news IMO. Have to say Frampton, Fielding and O'Kane are the future. Brook is on the verge, Barker has loads of options at middleweight, domestically and at World level. Hopefully Bellew gets on board, he is going to get better and better, I think.

I just hope the quality doesnt decline , putting someone in too much of a monopoly will in my view only hurt the sport , the top end events will be less frequent with other promotors competing for dates , what they have done recently has been good in the main but ive seen little chinks in the armour that make me feel a bit uneasy with the position that matchroom now find themselves in .

Great Video.... Looking forward to see what impact they make we'l find out soon enough if Sky Did The Right Thing....

Hoping Erick Ochieng can make a massive impact!

Barker looks about done, Brook's last performance suggests he is going to have to be carefully managed to ever win a genuine World title, O'Kane and Fielding look domestic at best, Bellew is 30 and has already lost to Clev, who is not proven World class yet and Frampton will have his hands full with Quigg, Galahad or Munroe! Spin it how you like, i just dont see any of the names you mention as the future of British boxing. Frampton has the best chance. Eddie needs to get his cheque book out and sign some Olympians because the current Sky schedule looks poor. Price, Fury, Cleverly, DeGale, Groves, Macklin, M Murray, Gavin, Mitchell, Burns, S Harrison, J Murray, Galahad and even Eubank jr are all fighting on other channels.

Everyone pretty much gets found out at some point in their careers, and I think it's good that there is channel rivalry, because that means better quality shows all round. I'm saying that O'Kane, Frampton, Fielding are the current future of Hearn's crop. I'm not saying that they're all going to be undisputed champions, just that they'll do well and that there are options and various routes to World titles. You only have to look at the Sturm/Geale unification fight to see that Barker has every chance at some success, if not there are Macklin and Murray to contend with. I think DeGale will wind up at Matchroom and they will sign Olympians.

I say watch out for Ochieng he is better than people think
