As far as i know this was always the headliner- why has this been pushed to the late slot that is usually filled by smaller fights?????????????

There's 5 12 rounders and 2 10 rounders on the show, so it was always going to be late and Chisora's was the only fight that ended inside the distance so the show's running behind schedule.

Me old man just shouted that he thinks Billy Joe Saunders has gone home ent he

True, but you think they'd have at least thrown the Kean fight on after.
Good exposure for him though I suppose.

Again, as I mentioned earlier, I follow the Asian scene in a hardcore manner. On Sunday they have 3 cards (note only 1 is mentioned on boxrec), they start at 1 PM (twice) and 6PM their cards are VERY well schedules with each fight given a distinctive time slot...

...so why the hell do you start such a DEEP UK card as late as this was started? It was one of Warrens BEST cards in a while yet it started an hour too late...

I suppose its the sign of a good card but any time ive been to see a show the big fights are on before midnite

It started at 5 o'clock, they probably expected a few fights to end inside the distance, but we could have been looking at 1 in the morning if Chisora and Buglioni went the distance before Saunders and Ryder were in the ring. Up to Chisora, everyone had a time slot, but they all ran over, pushing everyone else back.

Agreed

To pay a fortune (and go through the whole snidey false purse bids bollox) and then shove the fight on well after midnight is utterly ridiculous. Let's face it...it was in BJS best interest to have this on sky at prime time

How can a fight really "run over"? You surely mark down X minutes for a fight going the full distance? (It's what they do again do the Japanese "JBC" schedule), it's 're not like your adding rounds...

The 12 rounders were all given 1 hour slots, 50 minutes for Smith, 40 minutes for Chudinov, 35 for Skeete and 25 for Leather. The 12 rounders could have been given longer slots, but if they ended short then it would have been a long wait for the next fight, because people won't be happy if they expect a fighter to be in the ring at 8, so they show up at 5 to, to find that the fight started 15 minutes earlier.

Get there early,if you miss a few rounds, you learn your lesson and don't just turn up when your mate is scheduled. The ticket seller idea is good on paper but meh in practice. We have a card that could have finished at what, 1 am? 2 am? Ridiculous.

It's too late for me; the headline bout ought to be 9 pm, after 12 is too much.
