    Unnecessary padding and an unnecessarily late start

    Starting Parker - Wardley gone 11pm BST was bad enough, but the pacing of the show was dreadful. The uncomfortable heavyweight gatherings were a total waste of time as was most of the undercard.

    I know promoters want to give their fighters a run out, but these meandering and tedious cards before main events have got to go. Two televised undercard fights before a 10pm (or even 9pm) main event start is the way to go.

    I'd hoped they were starting to learn a bit from the UFC. Fight ends, ten minutes later the next guys are already walking.

    Sitting through a full boxing card from top to bottom could almost be considered a form of torture these days (unless it's one of Turki's).

      I was actually feeling irritable by the time of the main event.
