Arabs paying all that money just to fall asleep, I'm over here over paying for gas and this is what we get.

Only one guy is paying all that money. He just happens to be Arab.

It's not Turki, he is just a coordinator. He is in charge of the General Entertainment Authority. He gets funds from the Government or the leaders. He is just Promoting Riyadh Seaon and is trying to attract tourists to Saudi.

Kingdom Arean is next to Riyadh Season Shopping/Entertainment Center.

Don't tell me you thought it was his own money?

If we’re going to be technical, Saudi Arabia is controlled by a monarchy of less than 10,000 spoilt despots. They are the ones running the show.
Arabs in general do not care for boxing. This is all a dog and pony show of promoting the country.
I do agree with you.

Garbage card. Instead of Willie Zepeda, we get Maltese Joe who just got butchered at 130 for his belt. Sad.

Unimpressive for sure, but Zepeda I blame DLH more because I think he had no intent to let Zepeda fight Shakur in anyway.

Berinchyk would be an easier target to get a belt than Shakur while Tank would be better money wise, and if Tank is unwilling Loma would be a better target for money and name value.

Wake me up for the main event.. all the rest is UK garbage

Clarke v Wardley was a great scrap. The rematch should be entertaining too. Nobody can complain about that one apart from casuals who might not know them. they're not at the top level but it was very entertaining.

I think Cordina is ok but he just got the piss beaten out of him. Poor fight right now for Shakur. I wouldn't mind it down the line if Cordina got some good wins again but not coming off the back of that shellacking.

I'm not impressed at all by this undercard. It's a real turkey.

It is disappointing with all that Saudi money they could not get better / more exciting opponents for Shakur and Opetaia. At least Opetaia had a real fight last time out, but what about Shakur? Calling out all the big names and then ends up with this lame fight? That will be third in a row. I think I will be watching the main event only.

One Riyadh undercard that does not look great, but still decent.

Who cares though, when one has a great main event of the two best light heavyweights in the world.

I had a thought of light heavies this century, wondering how Hopkins, the form he had for Tarver, how he'd do against them.

Card is pretty weak! Just goes to show that money does not solve everything!

Great main event , why Turki has put Eubank Jr . in there is a let down , the kid's done nothing but get KO'd by little old Liam Smith . Rest of the under card is okay , Cordina may just give Stevenson something to think about and the heavyweight rematch will be electric. Looks like a hard night for tough but predictable Jack Massey.
