British Broadcast for US card this weekend

There’s a card on in America this weekend, featuring Cool Boy Steph vs Angelo Leo and some others.

I don’t know all the fighters, but they seem to be all prospect vs prospect fights, which are always the best ones. Maybe everyone has to take hard fights nowadays in the “post COVID era.”

My questions are:

1) Surely I’m not the only one who’s arsed about this card?
2) Please tell me it’s free on YouTube? If not I’ll take UK digital telly?

Here’s a link to the event. At least it’s on showtime.

Here’s Angelo Leo nailing Caesar Juarez with a lovely counter right:

I've been wondering about this card myself, Bnation hopefully with another announcement at the 11th hour but I'm no holding out too much hope, surely covid finished them off after that brief revival

That would be ideal for me, hopefully with someone good on commentary for my breakfast on Sunday. I was wondering about them just yesterday, surely this was the final nail?

Do you like any of the fighters?

I like Fulton improving all the time and last time looked like his progression has been bang on and it's time, dont know much about Leo but on paper this just seems a good step up fight for both men, i wouldn't consider it both guys stepping up to world level for first time as it's a vacant title shot

I’ve only just realised it’s for the belt! So Navarette moves up?

Fulton gonna outbox Leo I think. Juarez is a bit of a punch bag now.

The fight is off now. Fulton (and 2 members of his team) have tested positive for Covid.

Tramaine Williams will fight Leo now.

Is there any point whatsoever in allegedly now if they’re not going to pick up shows like this?!

That’s good that they had someone there to step up and not ruin the card. Feel sorry for Williams opponent though.

They’ve managed to find him an opponent too (albeit one he’s already beaten). Certainly could have been worse!

It’s a really good idea to have a decent undercard fight at the same weight class as any main event at the moment - particularly in the US. The UFC have often done it over the years and it’s bailed them out quite a few times.

WBSS do the same. It’s funny cos I haven’t seen Tremaine before but had heard people talking about him and wanted to see him fight.

At least there’s three cards this weekend to watch, it’ll almost be back to normal

Allegedly doesn't own allegedly anymore, Premier does. It's another one of Allegedly's successful businesses.
