Golovkin v Stevens tomorrow night

Golovkin is a brilliant boxer.

Would love to see him vs Martinez next year.

A passing of the middleweight torch.

[spud_gun]

Should be a good one either way.

Undercard is looking tasty as well. You will be in for a right old treat

Undercard looks **** for a PPV event.

Yep, he needs to deliver on his huge promises for this because it's utter wank so far. A load of people fuming. Supposed to be announcements in the week, hopefully he can back up his words. Not a chance I'm paying £15 for this unless theres a drastic change. Boxnation are delivering though, they're insane from Mid November to mid December!

Oh.

I thought it looked alright

No worries

As Chris has already said Hearn was making all sorts of promises about the quality of the card when Froch vs Groves was announced. He hasn't as of yet delivered and will need to go some way in order to do so.

The main event itself isn't PPV worthy, really needs a solid undercard.

PPV isn't something that we, UK boxing fans, should be welcoming. Haye all but killed it off with his ****e-fests but Hearn has somehow managed to squeeze it back onto the Sky agenda.

We already pay for a Sky Sports subscription to then be charged another £15 on top of that for what is essentially a Froch mandatory with a thus far lacklustre undercard isn't something i or a great deal of other boxing fans are going to be welcoming with open arms.

Same goes for Haye vs Fury, never in a month of Sunday's will i be spending £15 on that bucket of ****e.

BoxNation, despite their really **** production values, is actually a pretty decent shout if you're into boxing. £10 a month to subscribe and despite a shallow month or two over the course of the year provides far, far better value, in terms of boxing coverage, than a Sky Sports subscription.

I agree about the PPV absolutely no way this fight should be on that.

Isn't that why Sky brought PPV back, a lot of fighters where jumping to BoxNation because of the extra money their service was bringing in?

Fairly sure that the PPV is just a money making scheme by Hearn / Sky and nothing to do with BoxNation.

BoxNation don't get a lot of the top notch domestic cards as those fighters tend to be signed to Hearn / Matchroom. BoxNation however have excelled in getting the best international cards.

If Sky were really committed to boxing they could, in theory, blow BoxNation away in a year to eighteen months.

At least Campbell was put through a few rounds tonight.

Richard Towers is ****ing ****e.

Anyone catch his fight earlier?

[Chazza]

Nope

Take it he lost to the bloated Aussie?

[spud_gun]

Nope

Take it he lost to the bloated Aussie?

Yup.

He just isn't all that good. Catch it if you can.

Apparently it was a Commonwealth eliminator. Winner to fight Price next.

Be the end of Price if he loses that one.

[spud_gun]

Be the end of Price if he loses that one.

He wont loose.

Towers and the other fella were a step above pub brawlers.

Price will blast the fella with tattoo's out within 2 or 3
