Matters nothing though to UK fight fans though. Hearn has signed an 8 year deal with DAZN to show all matchroom content in the states on their app. He's also signed a multi year deal with Sky sports . What it basically means is that DAZN won't be available in the UK any time soon. We will still have to pay for hearns overpriced ppvs here .

Yes, for a UK customer you either have BT sport (which is increasing exploring PPV) and Sky, where a lot of the fights are also PPV anyway. So really only worth while with a VPN, personally you can always get good (free) streams for any fight so no point in ever paying to watch.

LakotaDakota Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Another easy win for Yarde who looked about 2 stone heavier than his opponent again. Shame there was barely anyone left in the arena to see it after everyone had been booted out for kicking the shit out of each other all night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually no amateur fights, 17 pro fights against street sweepers and 27 years old. Clearly a gifted athlete to a point, but will almost certainly get deconstructed by any decent light heavyweight.

LakotaDakota Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This is quite sweary but an interesting watch. Not very often you see Hearn looking less than polished & shiny with his guard down but he looks shattered & is very open in this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 These Fury's make for God awful spectacles and they are just not very good in all honesty. Hughie completely outclassed by an old Pulev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 That Hughie Fury fight was of an awful standard. Not a great advert for boxing that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hughie Fury just isn't very good is he? His conditioning is absolutely shocking, the KO was there for Pulev but he wasn't good enough to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Both get beat by AJ quite easily. No interest in that fight. Rather AJ vs Miller if they can't get the wilder fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What amazing me is how neither of the Fury bros can throw a right hand, both very one handed fighters neither having learned how to throw the right straight or counter with it.

LakotaDakota Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Whyte Chisora 2 confirmed for December 22nd at the O2. Not really sure Whyte has anything to gain from this, Already ranked 1-4 by 4 of the 5 (Not even ranked top 10 by the IBF for some reason) and the last fight was very tough & very close. One other interesting aspect in the build up is Chisora has repeatedly offered Whyte a cheque for 5 million quid to take the fight and he will take whatever remains from any earnings. Whether this actually pans out remains to be seen. If it is anything at all like the last one it will be a good watch though.

Demitri_C Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Be a great scrap. Whyte might be annoying but he don’t duck fights that’s what I like about him. He should win but it’s a dangerous fight. he should be fighting wilder not fury in all honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I actually think Dillian Whyte is brilliant for British boxing. Might not be the most talented of boxers but he is one guy who will jump in the ring with anyone and not worry about biding his time in order to grab a big fight. You could argue he already has a better résumé than the likes of Wilder & Fury. Think the fight will be another good scrap. Festive season + entertaining heavyweight action - yes please.

West Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Side note - the fight is the same night as Warrington/Frampton. Think old Frank is going to get burnt on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Errol Spence - Mikey Garcia close for march 16th. That's a fantastic fight. Spence isn't getting Crawford anytime soon and Thurman is basically a part time boxer at the minute so this is a good fight for him. Yes, Garcia is making a considerable jump from lightweight to welterweight against a huge welter too it has to be said but Garcia is no mug. He's amassed a very good 39-0 record, fought and dismantled the best ( with ease ) in the weight classes he's been in. A very very technically sound fighter. Spence will be favourite going in but i think it will be very competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mikey is too small and will get beaten up IMO, won't have the power to keep Spence particularly 'honest' either, Mikey is not a welterweight.
