B0xnati0n Wilder Vs. Povetkin schedule change

Post by chad »

With the cancellation of Wilder Vs. Povetkin, B0xnati0n have moved quickly and secured the rights to show Lara Vs. Martirosyan this Saturday instead. The card also features Jermall Charlo Vs. Austion Trout and Jermell Charlo Vs. John Jackson. Was really looking forward to the Russian card but this is a decent replacement.

Triple Super Welterweight world title header,could be decent,Lara/Martirosyan rematch should be good,think there's been a bit of needle in the build up

I haven't seen Jermall since he won the title but Trout should give him something to think about

Jermell should make pretty easy work of Jackson,he probably won't stop him but i doubt he'll drop a round

Good chance all 3 fights are snoozers TBF

Obviously it's not as exciting as Wilder-Povetkin promised to be, but I'm just happy they've picked up a replacement. John Jackson is usually pretty entertaining at least.

So no coverage of the remaining show from Russia ? I am surprised, it is still a good show and several fighters from that incredible show from last year are returning. That was probably the most eventful and unpredictable show they have ever broadcast, I was looking forward to seeing some of those fighters back in the ring.

Even with Wilder-Povetkin off I still prefer the Russian card for entertainment value.

Lara may be a top fighter but I'm not expecting him vs Vanes to be very fun, and I figure that Jermell Charlo is going to adopt a fairly negative approach and outbox Jackson.

Looks like i'm in the minority here but with Wilder V Povetkin down the pan i'd probably prefer to watch this.

That's good news. I was going to post yesterday and ask if anyone knew if this card was going to be on UK TV. Was really looking forward to Wilder v Povetkin but it can't be helped. Bit disappointed they're not still showing the rest of the Russian card though. There was still some decent fights on there.

I've got a full day of drinking on Saturday so I'll need to record the American bill and watch it on Sunday.

Looking forward to Parker v Takam on Saturday morning as well :TU:

the international feed for the Russian card was cancelled after Povetkin/Wilder was pulled so no

It'll probably still be on Russian TV. You can watch their channels live online. Just a case of going through them until you find the boxing, unless you understand Russian...

Gutted about the Russian bill. The undercard was still exciting.

Glad they have picked up the LM title fights, but defo one for the purists.

Will be 3 technical fights(snorefest for the casual).

I've gone Lara, Charlo and Charlo all on points.

Liam Smith could arguably be the most exciting champion at the weight.

I'm a boxing fanatic and I still don't know the difference in the Charlos.

Once got a A ones got a E apparently.
