To be honest, Saturday Saudi card is not that good

    They’re calling it the best card ever. Which it clearly is not.

    Bunch of showcase fights. But it should be fun anyway, and the PPV has a great price point for once.

      I'd argue Miller has beaten better fighters than Dubois has, but hasn't fought fighters as good as the ones Dubois lost to. So you can make if that what you will.

      Miller has a style that certainly isn't ideal for a fighter that has quit on his knee twice.

      Surely it's worth putting some money on it

      Its because Miller is a morbidly obese punchbag with extremely little talent.
      His only hope is to get his face absolutely caved in for 6-7 rounds and still be there and practically win the fight late by practically being able to absorb shots with his face to the point his opponent is just exhausted.
      He is horrific

        When JakeTheBoxer won the lottery they asked him how he felt and he said "Is this all I get? Money?"

          Other than Hrgovic/De Mori, I like the card. It's a rarity to get several top fighters on the same event. It's not a perfect card, but cards rarely are. The fact that they got this amount of talent together so quickly is pretty amazing. This is a card that I think is genuinely PPV-caliber.

            I agree, look at the betting odds in all of the fights, not one of them is a close 50-50.

            None of these fights are competitive and the outcomes are obvious

              And Dubois isn’t a slow as molasses lumbering punching bag either? He’s so slow he made Joyce somehow look fast and mobile.

                It is pretty good but the fact it seems like some massive anomaly says more about the typical quality of boxing cards than it does about this card.

                  I believe he beats Dubois easily. Dubois sucks.

                    I must take the word back, it was a good card actually.

                    I enjoyed Parker -Wilder, Kabaye l- Makhmudov and Dubois -Miller. Other fights were mismatches, but I also liked the way Bivol won every second.

                    I was wrong about the outcome of 3 fights.

                      i thought it was going to be crap with Miller and DDD being the highlight. the card just highlighted what the HW division is about. Then they added a puncher from the cruiserweight divison.
