    British title eliminator I think. That card could do with a few additions I think. Trying to think who Matchroom have from Manchester who they could put on the card. Maybe should’ve saved Zelfa Barrett for this card.

      Jazza just can’t deal Galahad’s style at all. Warrington is a much more winnable fight for him I think. He soundly outboxed Leigh Wood only a few years ago. If the referee actually prevents Warrington from using his head, I actually think Jazza outpoints Warrington.

        Not sure if they have announced it officially yet but Heffron-Chelli will be on the Smith-Eubank II undercard.

          Think building the potential Cordina-Barrett fight in Cardiff was more important to them than filling out this card you would suspect. They've got Fiaz and Campbell on there already haven't they, probably could do with a few more yet.

            Fair play, I haven't seen the Leigh Wood fight to be fair, maybe he's better than I give him credit for.

              You heard much on a rumour they could be sending Riakporhe to France to fight Goulamirian? Surely that's not true, they must be able to bring him over here.

              Got to say I'm not terribly impressed with Eubank-Smith II being PPV, but it's understandable and the two undercard fights so far are good. Natasha Jonas on there as well which to be quite honest I do not care about in the slightest other than it'll be £££ that won't go towards a decent domestic fight.

                I haven’t seen anything, would it be a Boxxer card in France? Or would somebody else be promoting it?

                Yeah not a fan of filling PPV’s with female fights, this will probably sound sexist but I just don’t think the quality is anywhere near the same. I think promoters use it as a cheap excuse to promote “world title fights” but in reality the quality of some of these world title fights aren’t even area level in comparison to the men’s game.

                  Would like to see that fight next tbh, unless they can get a unification but I don’t think that’s all that likely.

                    Sunny Edwards defending against the little known Andreas Campos tops the Matchroom Jun 10th show.

                    Hopefully this leads to a unification for Sunny. Martinez ideally.

                      I thought Chocolatito's cousin would have got the fight.
