The card is shocking.
Casual BBC viewers won't have a clue who the boxers are and less and less people watch TV nowadays anyway.
It'll tank big style.

It doesn't really matter if they haven't heard of them, as long as there is action and some close fights.
That's all I hope for in a card.

But you're a boxing fan kiwi, that's my point.
The demographic of people that watch the BBC that aren't hardcore boxing fans need to be drawn in by names. IMO.

It's up to both guys to give it all, British title, BBC, this could be a winner, can't see them Harlem Eubanking it

On iPlayer at the moment Kodua seems on the verge of winning British title vs Dalton who is pretty bust up after 6

Edit. Its for English title not Brit

Dalton brave but has a face like a plate of chopped liver

Bunce will blow a gasket at being live on BBC TV. It’s a good job they’ve got an ambulance on standby

Dalton still in there swinging. Brave lad.
Kodua more clinical but being outworked.

Yes We really need TKV to back up the talk and come out swinging, that would be terrific, all would be forgiven. Big Fraze Would probably be happy with a firefight.. I think that was a real freak occurrence against Fabio. Although the first fight sounded brutal, I’ve never actually watched it

Kodua saved a bit for lsst round.
Should be comfortable win.

Can’t watch the undercard as wife and kids are using my iPlayer account to watch stupid Strictly. Think it finishes just after 8pm so at least should be able to watch the main show.

this card has been excellent so far lots better than Dazn 9not having a dig I subscribe to Dazn). Good to see the right decision in the Dalton fight, and Massey getting more than he bet on in this fight, dropped in first round although has cut the other fella badly

Massey responded well, proper knockout there in the mid rounds

Watched them to play the old theme lol

Did they recycle this? That intro usually meant it was Audley time.

Rick Edwards there to host and speak for the casual and curious

I do

Hennessy just did a choreographed dance routine on the way to the ring. Just sayin'.

The BBC love women's boxing

When is the main event? Although my tv license is overdue so morally speaking I really shouldn’t tune in. Oh hang on I’m watching DAZN live.

What time does the main event start ? I can't watch this shite
