Exactly what I was talking about in a earlier comment.
It's a good one that's for sure but given the amount of faces there I'm sure if you were to pick them out of a hat you'd get better match ups. Joshua has sneaked himself a 'name' that's definitely on the safer side but there's no change there .
How does a card that has ZERO title matches, ZERO belt holders involved, not even an undefeated vs undefeated ranker match, with the 3rd and 4th best rated guys of the same division fighting someone other than eachother being the main event ever become the best card in history???
Heck, just off the top of my head I can think of a card that has three world title matches in it occuring within two month of it, and even with my bias I won't dare to claim that will be the best card of the year let alone history, sheesh.
Edit: was only thinking about the HW guys in it and forgot there was also Bivol and newly stripped but the actual best guy in CW Opetaia both facing pushovers so I guess there is a title match and belt holder involved, but still doesn't make it that much better.
To be honest, I will watch last 3 fights only. I am interested in Bivol comeback, Wilder-Parker and Joshua-Wallin. I have no intention of losing time watching other fights.
Best fight card as in including all combat sports? **** no. Its barely better than the UFC card last weekend that had had one of its bigger fights cancelled.
It's not the best card, but it's very good. Joshua and Wilder top the card, but are not fighting each other, so that's a let down.
I think the Dubois-Miller fight could be exciting. Parker could do well for some rounds and then get knocked out, or win. Wallin is a potential banana peel for Joshua, if he's not too defensive only.
