It's official, Anthony Joshua vs Eric Molina December 10th, Whyte vs Chisora as the chief support.
Predictions?
I think AJ will walk through Molina in 4 rounds, can't see Molina having enough tolls to keep AJ away.

Early AJ finish.
Nothing to get too excited by in my opinion.

Burton v Buglioni looks like the most interesting fight imo.

I think it'll go to the later rounds. In fairness to Molina, he's a pretty savvy boxer.
Whyte-Chisora will be fun and there are some decent match ups further down the card.
The fact that Ortiz is on the bill, means I'll be watching. Good night of boxing. If you
don't like it, don't watch it.

This. Plus Crawford fights later that night as well as a great bill from L.A. which has several decent bouts on it.
Also, does this announcement mean that we'll hear from David Haye soon about where, when & who he'll be fighting?

Here here. I was pretty much resigned to there not being an opponent being named, let alone a card to go along with it, but not I've seen what's on, I am officially interested. Won't go down as the biggest night of boxing, but I am looking forward to it.

Depends, if Ortiz is fighting Mum-Ra's older brother, then it won't be worth watching.
I won't be paying for a card of this quality.

Aj v Molina - OK fight. Not great but a small step up from whyte,martin and breazeale.
Chisora v whyte - potential fireworks fight, potential stinker. Chisora should win if motivated.
I can imagine Ortiz will be v some tin can same goes for quigg.
The other fights, OK fights not amazing but better than the headline.
PPV not a chance

Perfectly acceptable card, for Sky Sports that costs £40 a month. Not for an additional £16.95, that's a joke. Will be fishing that night methinks.

Are you serious? Molina - Joshua is an 'ok' fight? Do you work for sky?

Yes, the idea this card is worth some kind of surcharge for it's perceived excellence, is a total nonsense.

OK being average, and not special then yes its an OK fight. No I don't work for sky.
From wlad to Molina is a step down, but as is being the case time and again with fast car, he can deliver £££ to his fighters but not big fights.

Scary thing is that Molina was probably the best fighter in the IBF rankings that was available for December.
Good thing - Keeps Joshua busy
Bad thing - Proves that a fat cruiserweight who has never beaten a half decent fighter can have two shots at the world title.
Joshua KO within 90 seconds

Yes but his fights against Arreola, Jordan and his win over Grano were not that exciting!!!'

I think the Arreola fight was exciting - for the 2 minutes it lasted until he got knocked cold

Molina knocked out Raphael Zumbano Love
That means he's better than Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs AND Andy 'The Cannonball' Ruiz.

Have you seen his fight against Jordan?
It was brilliant.

There you go.
Add in the fact that he's never been beaten by a British fighter and you could argue that the ppv price should be 50 quid.
