Upcoming Fights **Mod note: Keep discussion to fight night threads**

there was plenty skill in that tear up. Folks sometimes pigeon hole the term skill. As if it’s meant to be very clean, clinical, aesthetically pleasing etc.

I think when people see some awkwardness and “sloppiness” during times in fights, they then ridicule it as a lack of technique and skill. But that can happen any fighter due to styles clashing.

Some of the defending and countering off defence from both lads last night (whilst late in the fight and tired in the fight) was exceptional. That’s skilled performers.

One poster said they could fight but could not box, as if boxing is only a set routine in some way. Silly stuff. Boxing is a mix of so much, and skills in several areas.

If they do have a rematch, Eubank should insist on no rehydration clause. Maybe demand the flights at 163 or something as well.

Yeah loved the main event , felt like a proper big fight.

I knew it wasn't going to be Bivol v Betervbiev when it comes to quality , but it was a really good scrap and would be happy for a rematch.

The rest of the card though, not sure. Mc Kenna was excellent, Yarde v Arthur was very dull. Billam Smith is a warrior but the most exciting of watches , while Viddal v Clarke I can't remember lol.

Turki has just said the rematch is on for late September in the same venue, Ben shalom said terms are already agreed and signed for the rematch

excellent points made. Skill, heart, fitness, drama. Everything you want. Even if he won Eubank is in hospital since, that fight took a lot out of him.
if Bivol and Beterbiev stood toe to toe and went at it then many would proclaim this the best, most exciting ever fight. If you don’t like these two boys then you’ll find a way to detract.
I think of Ward Gatti. It got crude enough but you never hear of anyone talking about the skill level.
people doing that are just missing the point.

according to Nigel Benn his some smashed skull to bits in sparring and made him quit

NYC is tomorrow night on DAZN PPV. It will be 01:00-02:00 type time here on Saturday morning.

The Saudi card with Canelo is usual Saudi time that we’re used to. Circa 22:30 Irish time Saturday night. It’s also DAZN PPV

Edit: Canelo fight time is 06:00 Saudi time Sunday morning. 04:00 for us

I do. But not getting value really. I’m missing fights. Subscribed years now. 15 euro per month

yup. Thinking exact same. I will be thinking twice now about continuing. All the “big” fights they’re screwing us subscribers by PPV..

Alvarez 1/50, Garcia 1/12, Haney 1/12, Inoue 1/50 ..nothing to exciting their lol.

Teo looks like he is in a close fight and tbf Bakole's return I am curious about.

I was happy enough to see Canelo in Saudi as I thought we would get a normal start time but 4am ? No thanks.

How many people in the UK/Ireland / Europe are going to buy that pay per view in the middle of the night tonight?

Jesus Christ, the Haney fight is one of the most boring I have ever seen.

The Teo fight was fine, but need a fun main event to save this card.

Lopez was impressive last night. Heaney was boring and not all that impressive. Garcia deserved that loss. Heaney and Garcia both very overrated by the look of it. Absolutely scuppers the plan for a rematch between them.
