Comments Thread For: The 5 x 5 Bill: Which fight are you most looking forward to?

Fish Eyes vs. The Worm

Never thought I'd be longing for the old days of Don King flapping his gums in the ring or in interviews - at least he had a personality and said some funny stuff (intentionally or not).

These two are an absolute bore and the whole "5 of Frank's guys versus five of Eddie's guys" self-aggrandizing promotion is downright cheesy.

I don't mind either of them. Eddie in particular tells us more than any other promotion.

But I haven't really bought into the whole 5v5 thing. They're just good fights and the fights are more important than which promotion they're from.

I don't mind the concept but I find it weird that they're promoting the event so heavily as Matchroom v Queensberry when there are fights that could carry the promotion themselves. But they're barely promoting the fights.

It's easy to say Zhang-Wilder, but I have a feeling that fight is going to be a bit of a stinker before Wilder folds from a glancing shot and push from Zhang. I feel that its really going to be a sad, even pathetic fight while it lasts. In terms of pure combat, I think Ball-Ford is going to be the most exciting match of the night.

Ammo vs Sheerez is probably my #1. I think this fight is guaranteed to be fun & exciting. I also like seeing these undefeated prospect/contender type guys fighting each other pre-belt.

Ford vs Ball is #2. Ball is never a boring watch & I think Ford is a guy with skills whos level of potential will get found out tomorrow based on how well he does or doesn't do.

#3 is Wilder vs Zhang. I could see this fight stealing the show, but I could also see either guy sh^tting the bed badly. It'd be higher if both hadn't sh^t the bed in their last fights &/or werent so far past prime.

#4, Filip vs DDD. Never big on Filip. Never very excited by DDD & he mighta hit his ceiling in his wins over Lerena & Big Baby.

#5, Spider vs Hutch. Couldn't give less fooks about this one

Bivol against Libian guy. Bivol is clearly the best boxer on this event.

Ford vs Ball & DDD vs. Hrgovic

Agreed it's more promo-motion then pro-match, but it's still somewhat entertaining.

Wow, great breakdown. You dissected that card top to bottom like a surgeon, no question about it. Next time I'm talking snarky shyt I will sure to avoid you and the guy with the perfect girl on the BMW.

Wilder Zhang, its do or die for both. Loser retires

Ford against Ball by a mile. They’re two of the top 3 Featherweights in the World along with Lopez. The winner of that fight has a legitimate claim to being the best guy in their division. The winner of Hrgovic-Dubois is maybe what? The 5th best guy? The Wilder-Zhang winner is maybe the 6th or 7th best guy. Ford-Ball is a far more meaningful fight.

The heavies will take all the attention for sure, Bivol fight will probably end up being a snooze fest.

It'll be a fun sports packed saturday afternoon with the Uefa Champions League Final as well.
