British boxers and British boxing is Overrated IMO

Whether that true or not, the UK punches well above its weight when it comes to keeping the sport relevant, especially these days. Its a major boxing market.

No offense but you aren’t making any sense, lmao. Fights are made when they’re made. Doesn’t matter the size of the country.

No offence taken. I think you're not seeing the big picture. Fights are not made in a timely manner in boxing in general but especially the USA. Boxers only earn money when they are fighting. Promoters only make money when there are events. Between unrealistic earnings expectations of fighters and lack of money to meet those demands then the fights don't get made in a timely manner or if at all. Wilder-Ruiz. Thurman sitting on shelf. Gary Russell when he was champ.

and why is that? .................... if the money was there there'd be big fights every weekend in a country as populous as the USA .

If I were made to cut that much weight by a guy who later popped, I'd be mad, too.

yep, its probably the main reason he lost the first fight

Why was there no activity in the US? Because nothing was scheduled this weekend, lmao.

Already confirmed by Smith last week that you guys haven't been tested during camp so who knows for sure.

[Raggamuffin]

Did you watch it? The stadium was full. It was the only fight that got any decent coverage this weekend. ACROSS THE WORLD. let those last three words sink in. Why was there no activity in the USA this weekend? It's because boxing is not even a top 5 sport in the USA. So the writers at Boxing Scene are going to focus on where boxing is actually taking place.

You will see the same thing in a few weeks time when Leigh Woods fights Josh Warrington. Smallish fight - big event.

It was just a dig at Benn

For what it was, it was a great evening for Englishmen. But Jr. is acting like he and Liam are frontrunners in the fight for clean boxing.
