Joe Calzaghe versus David Starie managed to suck the life out of a crowd about to see Mike Tyson's uK debut.
Sergey Lyakovich and Friday Ahunanya put on one of the all-time buzz killers immediately prior to Lewis/Rahman 2. Can't even remember who won, hopefully neither.

Miguel Vazquez had a bad one against Mickey Bey on the Mayweather/Maidana undercard. I remember a few of us being quite drunk and eagerly watching the fights up until this point and everyone wandered off to have a snack during that one.

Don't think anyone will come up with a better example than that. Shocking fight.

Nothing gets more diabolical than the undercard of Duran/Moore.
Collins JR vs Luis Resto. That will haunt me forever. Was a big fan of Billy.

I think Arthur-Cook was chief support to Khan-Prescott?
Absolutely horrible fight

Akinwande-Welch. What a manky dog.
Undercard of Trinidad-Lueshing, which was short but exciting and I think Frankie Randall fighting someone.

I remember both. Very bad fights indeed. Friday "The 13th" Ahunanya.
Frankie Gavin vs Young Mutley was a shocker on the undercard of degale groves.

Hah Welch’s body language all night suggested he was going to go in with some serious bombs at big Henry. I think he landed one solid punch over the whole 12.

Yep. Good god that was an awful fight.
I remember Juan Manuel Marquez vs I wanna say Victor Polo stinking out the joint on the DLH vs Hopkins undercard, and then the Main Event wasn't any better.
Basically the only fun to be had that night was Kofi Jantuah blasting out Marco Antonio Rubio in 30 seconds, and then it was all downhill from there.

Here is one where I doubt many will remember. 1988 and on the Undercard to a Robert Dickie fight - think it was shown on BBC.... Johnny Nelson vs Andrew Gerrard - I will always remember it for Gerrard constantly hugging Nelson to wipe his bloody snotty nose all over his shoulder. Somehow it is one fight I will never forget.

Ortiz vs Malik Scott deserves a mention. Might have actually been the main event but still a stinker.

Dave Allen vs Lenroy Thomas 1. Just the most godawful thing I've seen live.
Rocky Fielding vs Charles Adamu on the Bellew/Brudov card saw 2 of the 4 of us there fall asleep.
Gavin McDonnell doing 12 rounds on the Frampton/Quigg undercard just before the much anticipated main event was like having Bella Emberg stroke your leg for 36 minutes just before you knew Jennifer Anniston was going to come into the room and fornicate you.

We should just say Johnny Nelson then lock the tread

Great shout. I was there too. How did I forget?
Ah, yes, because it was execrable.

Audley vs a chubby/fat Brazilian cruiser weight who offered very little but being game. I think he was not only massively outweighed but had a huge reach and height disparity.
Awful fight. Awful spectacle. The crowd were laughing. Imagine the ignominy of that? Moved on from booing to laughter.
It was godawful to watch. Fair play to arias though. He didn’t lie down.

Hamza Sherraz vs Pitto. Horrible fight to watch right before Joyce Dubois.

Joyce was in a 12 round bore fest prior to the Gorman Dubois fight. I fell asleep and missed the main event.

Was going to post this. fornicating shite. Were you there? A young Tyson Fury took his shirt off and challenged Dereck Chisora to my left during it. And then I think there was a fight in the crowd. Nobody was watching the actual fight in the ring, that's for sure.
