    Agree, can't really see who else is viable aside from Hooker at this point. Heard rumblings about Barrios, but I'm not sure they do that. Ramirez is probably looking at Zepeda now, and I think they'll keep him away from punchers like Kavaliauskas or Ava for the time being.

    Yh, wouldn't complain about Joyce against any of those. If Frank can make Joyce-Wallin or Joyce-Bakole and then gives Dubois a Takam-esque fight he's not doing too badly. Not sure we'll actually get something of even that quality though sadly.

    Has Joyce suggested he might vacate? I heard that referenced a few times recently, but haven't seen it widely mentioned.
    I think he’d definitely vacate if the board ordered him to make a defence. There’s no way he’s going back to domestic level. It’s on the BBBofC really, they’re enabling Joyce to hold the belt hostage.

      Does the AJ on Sky news mean we can expect a crap undercard? Smith-Bauderlique still likely to land on it?

        I would assume that's a separate card now.

          I have no idea tbh mate. I don’t think many saw this coming. It’s still a Matchroom promotion so I’d assume they’ll provide the undercard but whether they’re willing to pay for/provide a strong card for Sky to broadcast and profit from is questionable.

            Rumours Wardley-Ibeh is off. Ibeh denied entry into the UK apparently​​​​​​.

              Felix Cash has now pulled out with illness. This card has been disastrous.

                No one's fault, but good god it's one dissapointment after another with Dazn. I was actually looking forward to this fight.

                  Wasn't too excited for this card anyway but that is a big loss. The only positive about this is that Madrimov-Soro II is now happening just before the main event if I'm reading correctly, as opposed to second on the card. Will watch those two fights on a stream somewhere, I'm not giving DAZN £7.99 for one UK show this month.

                    Cash just can’t seem to stay healthy man. It’s a shame because I think he can be a player at 160.

                      I’m in the same boat as you mate, I pick and choose when I subscribe to DAZN and I don’t sub very often nowadays. They desperately need more content. They should pay for the UK rights to PBC cards, nobody televises them over here and it would give them an extra 2-3 shows a month. It wouldn’t even be expensive either as there’s literally no competition for them unless it’s a big name fighter. They could even show small hall shows in the UK. That would add some content. They’re not delivering anywhere near enough IMO.
