Tonight's card showed precisely why boxing in the UK is a joke. The top 3 fighters on the card each fought hand picked opponents that had no chance to win.
Maccarinelli fought a total bum and destroyed him in one round.
Amir Khan fought a guy who didn't even come to fight. He was a paid punching bag.
Calzaghe fought a guy who should be fighting at 154, has no credible wins at 168, and was a 33-1 underdog. He didn't deserve to be in the same ring as Calzaghe. And to top things off, a terrible stoppage to finish the night.
This card showed exactly why no one ever takes any British fighter seriously...
