Just finished watching Boxnations Billy Joe Saunders vs Hill and I've got to say it was simply the WORST set of fights I've EVER seen...
Well probably not the worst but It was genuinely really bad all the fights were a case of Frank Warren sticking a bunch of his fighters in with a bunch of bums and the referee stopping the fight as soon as possible, I don't like it why is this even on TV???
Only one fight in that card that was actually competitive.
Sorry for the rant had to see If anyone felt the same way or am I perhaps being to harsh?
But come on you have to test yourself to get better don't you?!?!?
Whilst I agree that the Buglioni opponent was shocking & definitely shouldn't get paid*, I think you lot are being a bit harsh on Tony Hill who looked a decent test for Saunders coming in. His last bout was a close loss to Kerry Hope - and we know what he went on to do.
Hill just got caught with a great shot & Billy Joe was VERY impressive in finishing him off. It happens. Much better fighters than him have been stopped in the 1st round.
* - OK the rest of the undercard wasn't great either.
Lot of Irish fans and gypseys at the last fight with Joe Saunders, holding up signs like English-Sheep-Shaggers and northern monkeys.
They beat up a lot of the english football fans who ran away like cowards.
Don't get me wrong I do agree with what your saying I just think well Joe Saunders is very high on confidence this fight wasn't originally meant to be the main event but he doesn't need this kind of fight he needs a tough kind of guy who will test him, Miguel Cotto and I am in no way comparing him to Saunders but Cotto did test himself early in his career that's personally In my opinion what makes the difference between a world class fighter and a European level fighter.
Not saying stick him in with a top ten fighter in the middleweight just someone who deserves to be in that ring with him that's all lol.
Like you said Cleverly was supposed to be headlining and if he had things would have been much better but 5hit happens in boxing. This was only Saunders's 13th fight and the kid's still young so they're not gonna stick him in against a live opponent for a while especially since this is Warren we're talking about.
True again, this is a bad thing I don't normally agree with someone this much lol.
Buncey can be okay at times but on their twitters they only answer the questions of people who are sucking up their asses don't they haha.
Yeah I know what you mean man. But we gotta pretty sweet deal here the Yanks have to pay like $70 just for the Mayweather card....suckers lol
Cleverly was supposed to headline (again, against a totally worthless opponent) but had to pull out.
Boxnation is good generally, but not very professional.
The way I see it is that I'm paying a tener a month for the fights from overseas and the domestic bouts are a free bonus on top.
For instance for just 10 quid in May you get to see Mayweather/Cotto, Alvarez/Moseley, Huck/Afolabi, Kessler/Greene plus a few domestic cards. And that's worth anyone's hard earned cash even if you gotta put up with Buncey lol

Glad I gave it a miss then.
But you have to realise that these guys are at the very start of their careers and was it not for Boxnation they wouldn't even be on tv so take the good with the bad.
Lets hope the Hopkins fight later on tonight on Boxnation makes up for it :boxing:

True but at £10 a month, if Saunders is headlining he should fight someone who can last at least 30 seconds.

Yeah true with that...
Hmmm this whole card was suppose to be the build up for Nathan Cleverly IF I had that fight It wouldn't of been so bad because If Cleverly performed exceptionally It would of made me more excited for the Hopkins fight.
Joe Saunders knew this guy could of been overwhelmed though that's the problem I think he knew It would of been a pretty easy night, theirs GOT to be better opposition out their fighting for a belt because I can remember the day holding a belt use to mean something lol.
Glad I gave it a miss then.

Well on the plus side in a couple of hours a 40+ plus year old man versing a young man like Chad Dawson will be better than all of those fights still inexcusable, I'm glad I'm only paying 10pound a month for the channel though!!
10 pound a month is ok since were getting the big fights like Hopkins tonight, but the whole setup for the British fights is so unprofesional. Bunce just embarasing himself, drunk fans running up and grabbing the pundits,
commentators like Paul Smith as dull as hell. It makes me wanna stop watching but hopefully tonight we go straight to HBO's show.
Glad I gave it a miss then.

Gotta agree. The guy Bulliona fought is the worst boxer in the history of the sport. Absolutly awful. The guy Saunders and Skeete fought weren't much better.
