Another one of Hennessy's shows on channel 5 with rising talent, Kid Galahad, headlining the card.
In the other corner is Josh Wale, 14-3-1, a decent fighter who competed in the Super Bantam prizefighter. His last loss came in that tournament against Willie Casey in a 3 round split decision. It's a good, competitive fight but not worthy of being the main event in my opinion.
Galahad lacks any real power but is a good boxer and confuses opponents with his unorthodox style. He's going to win on points or a late stoppage.
Next up is Eubank Jr.
I have been impressed with his progression so far and in his 4th fight he takes on a durable fighter in Harry Matthews, 12-5-1. Apart from his loss to Nick Blackwell ( another fight who could be something special ) he's managed to keep the fights somewhat competitive. Matthews has never been stopped and has been brought in to take Jr rounds. I hope to see Jr showcase his boxing ability at some point en route to becoming the first man to stop Matthews.
Last but certainly not least is the British welterweight title fight between Lynes and Witter. Both men are in the twilight of their careers but this still looks to be a competitive fight.
After these 3 fights the rest of the card is dire. Hennessy isn't maximising the potential that channel 5 holds. He needs to put on cards which are deep with good, competitive fights. Just look at the Maloney card only a week later, that is what the cards should be like on C5. Risks need to be taken in order to attract more people to the sport. Of all the promoters who it could've gone to, why the one with the weakest stable?
