    Boxxer having a rough go of it at the minute. They've got the best card on paper May 27th, let's see how it goes.
    A PR stunt gone badly wrong from Boxxer. They should have just pulled Frazer out immediately instead of doing the whole smoke and mirrors “offer”.

    Looking forward to that one, likely gonna go to the MR card so will just record it and avoid the results.

      Fair play to OD, turned it round after a rough few years. Ritson win was impressive in how dominant he was. The WBA is an absolute farce at 140 though. How on earth is Barroso so highly ranked, and Rolly coming off a KO loss at 135.
      It’s a complete disgrace. It’s like when they had Oquendo, Chagaev, Browne, Bryan and all those other scrubs top 5 at HW. None of the ABC rankings are an accurate representation but the WBA’s are by far the worst.

        Nice one mate, enjoy. Shame about a couple of the fights that fell through, I was looking forward to Conway-Udofia in particular, real 50/50.

          It's utterly bizarre. I suppose the one saving grace is you get some fairly intriguing (for us hardcores) matchups for the title; Rolly-Puello would've been a competitive fight, as is Akhmedov-Sims Jr, as would the winners against Ohara. But other than that, clearly none of them are deserving of a title shot.

            Yeah the undercard is pretty weak now but the main event should be fun.

              I think Ohara has a great chance against the Romero-Barroso winner. Shame he doesn’t have much backing cause that’s a fight I’d like to see brought to the UK.

                Ellis Zorro has unexpectedly become a must watch fighter. Two back to back wars.

                    Zorro was a guy who I used to think was quite boring too.

                    That’s two back to back wars now with Spelman and now Burton, definitely a guy I’m looking forward to watching again when he’s next out.

                      This was my first time seeing Zorro, I’ll definitely tune in next time
