    And location has nothing to do with Ward simply beating those guys with ease.
    Easy....they weren't being little divas like Ward throughout the tournament.

    Maybe so but you are saying Euros hate him cause he beat them. I'm just telling you my opinion on why with the hometown fights. Even I disliked that on top of him was going to fight Direll and they made excuses not to fight each other.

      September seems to be full of great dates for boxing.

      The 8th and 15th especially.

        I wonder which fight the UK will broadcast.

        Ward-Dawson or Bailey-Alexander.

        Hopefully Sky pick up Alexnader-Bailey like they did when Alexander fought Maidana and Boxnation will most likely have Ward-Dawson.

            Sky Sports is far and beyond the most popular Sports channel in the UK. Has been for decades.

            Boxnation only came out late last year if I remember correctly but it's a channel for Boxing exclusively, and certainly have a lot of rights to fights because they've been covering a lot more of a depth of fights that Sky have been showing in recent years.

            Boxing isn't a priority to Sky they are more interested in more popular sports in the UK like Football, Rugby, Tennis, F1, Golf, Cricket and a long list of sports that are more popular in the UK. Boxing is one of the least popular sports here.

            If anything, I expect Sky to show the Alexander fight and Boxnation will show Ward-Dawson.

              i wouldnt get my hopes about about sky picking up any of the US fights tbh, they might show the Vitali fight along with the matchroom card though (and if not boxnation will def show that)

              Only reason i see them showing Alexander Bailey is that Brook will likely fight the winner. And if they do it'll probably be on tape delay on Sunday morning

                    was gonna say that was probably a lot more to do with Maidana due to the Khan fight, but i think they showed Bradley Alexander too so u might be right

                      Yeah they showed that.

                      I'm thinking (Hoping) that's what happpens.

                      I'm thinking Boxnation will definitely show Ward-Dawson.
