Cordina vs Barrett is a damn good fight.

[YoungManRumble]

Hearn said they paid step aside money to make tonight's fight.

Probably the smartest thing ol' boy has done in a while. Not implying any ducking talk of course but at least it was a high-risk high-reward situation doing a quick swerve to fight a legit champion for a legit world title.

Though Matchroom doesn't have many Irish fighters now, I'm hoping they can ride the Katie Taylor wave to revive some big fights over there. Irish cards are always a ton of fun, glad Conlan will be back fighting over there in August, disappointed it won't be outside at Falls Park though, one of my favorite venues to watch from TV

Belfast is one of the best places I’ve been for a fight never been to Falls Park but I’ve been the arena and two Frampton fights that were outdoor. The only problem with the outdoor fights is it can be f***ing freezing in Belfast. The Martinez rematch was in the make shift arena by the docks and it was absolutely baltic, I was in a thick coat and still shivering.

If they could produce something like Taylor-Serrano 2, Agyarko-Spike, McCarthy-Massey with a few Irish prospects on the undercard I reckon that would do great numbers in a stadium in Belfast/Dublin.
