Liam Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 This is precisely the sort of match that would have been on Sky rather than PPV a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Definitely, the lack of traction in the mainstream media for the whole card shows it more as a free to TV show than a PPV contest but with five of the bigger British names on the card, I guess they felt they had to push it forward as a PPV card.

Gorka Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sky will probably show it on TV in a week or so, they did with Froch/Groves II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Callum Smith is putting on a show against Sjekloca, real step up in class and he is handily disposing of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Smith takes the UD, one judge actually gave him all 12 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I think it says a lot about British boxing that I couldn't give a shit about this fight. There aren't really any draws in the British game outside of Carl Froch these days. Cleverly draws well in Wales, so there is some interest there. Hope he wins btw.

Gorka Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I wouldn't say "well", he's only fought in the CIA and that isn't a huge venue. I expect him to edge it out on points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 What I like about British boxing at the minute is there are a few fighters on the cusp if being big draws. Whether that develops I don't know but at least there are good boxers out there to fly the flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrilla Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 DeGale just got a TKO in the 3rd round in a match that a lot of people thought would be really difficult for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrilla Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Groves just picked up a fairly uninspiring victory with a TKO finish in the 7th.What I like about British boxing at the minute is there are a few fighters on the cusp if being big draws.

Gorka Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I would be shocked if Joshua didn't become a major draw, guy has pretty much everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrilla Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Tonight at the Excel Arena, Chris Eubank Jr challenges Billy Joe Saunders for the European Middleweight Title (The match is also a World Middleweight Eliminator), Derek Chisora defends the European Heavyweight Title against Tyson Fury in a match that is also for a mandatory shot at Wladimir Klitschko. Show starts on BoxNation in the UK at 8pm and is being streamed on ESPN3 in the US.I think Saunders will take the decision against Eubank Jr and Fury will stop Chisora in the middle rounds.

Whisper Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Fury/chisora will be the drizzling shits. Eubank Jr/Saunders should be alright though. British boxing is so bad at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 If someone can point me in the direction where I might be able to see this considering my *ahem* TV isn't working, that would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
