    The usual terrible matchmaking from Eddie Hearn....guys like Yafai must be going stale as hell. As for Bellew, how does it benefit him to fight a dude with 27 losses?

        Under WBA rules once seven knockdowns are scored in a fight, the fight is automatically over.

          If you seen the Bellew interview, it was his choice to take one for the team. I guess thet was the best they could get at short notice. Murray should have been better matched; just because there from s america doesn't mean that their tough.

            Didn't see the interview, didn't need to; Hearn should know that drafting in Bellew to fight some bum is of no interest to anyone, not even Bellew surely...in fact, it just devalues the show altogether. Not one person is gonna buy a ticket off the strength of Bellew participating in a gimme fight against a guy levels below him, and not one person with any sense will be sitting at home watching thinking, Yes, Tony Bellew is up next, this fight is gonna be sensational... literally better just keeping a pointless, amazingly one-sided fight OFF the card than putting this garbage on TV. Tony Bellew is slow and plodding at the best of times, never mind getting drafted in last minute to fight a guy who probably wouldn't cut it as a sparring partner, the whole thing is just farcical. Hearn is getting beyond a joke. It's literally as if he is trying to make more and more outlandishly one-sided fights to see what Sky Sports will tolerate.

              I enjoy watching Warrington, well rounded, i rate him. He'd be really fun if he carried punching power.
              His fans were great again, and i really wouldn't mind seeing him face Selby.

              Sky ain't kidding anyone when they talk so highly of Brunker though. They did the same when Selby faced him.

              I didn't catch the Murray fight, il watch that tomorrow.
              Bellew's fight was a waste of time though. I know it was a stay busy fight at late notice..but his opponent had 26 losses to his name. Unbelievable really.
