Well as long as any fan can remember worth of clamouring to try and get a decent card together and paying over the odds for shite, "his excellency" (boke) decides that boxing is his new toy and we have promoters from all corners and fighters desperate to make good fights and cards, all out of reach of actual boxing fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Taking the politics out if it I reckon if Bivol/Beterbiev went ahead on this card it would go down as one if the best cards of all time. Every fight has been intriguing and in Ball/Ford you had a fight of the year contender. On another note how can Hrgovic be so poorly conditioned? He was gone after four or five rounds blowing out his arse. Another big name amateur who has looked dreadful in the pros. Not sure where he goes from here and to be honest he doesn't look arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Turki character that bankrolls the whole operation was sitting with his back turned talking to people behind him during the majority of the first fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticeable that they all go out their way to mention ‘His Excellency’ and Saudi Arabia’s amazing hospitality anytime they are interviewed. That guy Turki must be the soundest guy on the planet, not heard anyone say a bad word about him and all you hear is how amazing he is, nothing to do with the money he’s throwing their way I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 The state of how empty and quiet this place is. You can hear an echo from Buffer’s mic. I’m running on fumes here trying to see this out and this atmosphere is doing nothing to help my cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me a little bit sick in my mouth tbh. Even before you get tot he motivations of the Saudis, the way boxing as a sport crawls to them is vile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Two guys who are so far down the pecking order that they’ll NEVER feature in a title fight. Joe Parker beat both of these guys& is prob 2 years, & abou 3 fights, off a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Zhang is a top level fighter when he wants to be but that can't even go down as an impressive win as it was utterly pathetic from Wilder who is completely done. Turned his back and looked to the ref after taking a shot to the face and relying on one punch all fight. Fucking stupidity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
