Everybody should be pumped for this one!! If this were the days of HBO, this would likely be a PPV card. This is arguably DAZNs first full "fight card" from top to bottom that would qualify as a PPV card.
Garcia-Vargas is a very even matchup, which has fight of the year written all over it. Garcias performance against Spence was very underwhelming, and IS fighting what I believe is TWO classes above his best weight. Vargas is much bigger, and I DO believe he can match garcia in just about every area in skill, from speed to power. I'm leaning toward vargas by split decision, and i think we see a rematch between the two.
Yafai-Gonzalez is a terrific co feature. I'm not sure why yafai is the favorite, maybe because he is naturally bigger and undefeated. Gonzales should arguably have just that one knockout loss to rungsivai, and I thought he won their first fight. Gonzales is offensively superior to yafai, and I think it shows, especially in the 2nd half of the fight. Gonzales by close but clear decision, in a fight where he scores a late knockdown or two.
Martinez-Harris is another good matchup. I don't know much about Harris, but I do know Martinez is a buzzsaw and one of the most explosive and exciting champions in the sport. Martinez may be able to be outboxed, and Harris should certainly try to box, although Charlie Edward's failed miserably trying to do so. I think harris starts out boxing well, but martinez body punching, sheer strength and power get him a late stoppage.
Top 10 heavyweight Joseph parker returns in a tune up, and prospect Israel madrimov faces Charlie Navarro's in a WBA eliminator.
From top to bottom, this is the best fight card of the year. Enjoy the fights and god bless you all!!!
Literally was the thing I was most excited about with this card. What happened to Gassiev? Just finding out now. Huge bummer
IF I’m not mistaken , I think he got hurt in camp
This is a great card
Was a little disappointed when Gassiev had to withdraw but pretty sure that there will be lots of fireworks on this card
Pretty good matchups and imo , very even

I'd say:
Garcia-Vargas is 52-48 in garcias favor
Yafai-Gonzalez is 50-50
Martinez-Harris 60-40 martinez
I don't expect winters to be much of a test for parker, but he's a puncher and I see him throwing bombs from the opening bell. It will be nice to see parker in action regardless.
Madrimov-Navarro will be interesting. Madrimov is a red hot prospect and Navarro's has fought at the top level, but failed.
Honestly , I’m not to impressed with Vargas
I think Garcia wins a decision wide
I love chocolatito , I think he’s money
And I think Martinez wins easily

Isnt Gassiev on the card too?? It is a stacked top to bottom card I like it. Its like a dessert for boxing fans after the main course event we got last weekend
The gassiev fight got scratched due to an injury.
This is the best fight card DAZN has ever put on.
Idk how you can call yourself a boxing fan and not be excited about this.
Another good card. As this year continues I hope these platforms continue to do battle by way of good solid well matched bouts. Not with tricks like white collar fights or whatever. Let the sport grow with good fights esp after a big weekend draw with the heavies. Martinez will be alive as always-Harris is sharp> There is only two year dif with Yafai Roman bout we know the history of both> Mikey wants to stay around 147 for at least another fight so let Vargas get real hungry before this one and let it fly.Got three fly's on the card. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm looking forward to this one, I almost forgot to see it was this coming Saturday. People criticise DAZN a lot for the quality of their cards and rightfully so most of the time but this should easily satisfy any boxing fan.
