Re
I agree, theres certain places where, if you're not sure you can KO the guy, you dont want to fight there.
I noticed that if you're against a TOP Main Events promoted fighter, in the tri-state region-especially NY/NJ-your chances of winning a decision are very slim.
I've seen Main Events fighters get their ears totally boxed off, and escape with questionable judging or draws.
Alvarez, despite boxing a close, competitive fight with Kovalev, was well on his way to su****ious comfortable decision loss, had he not clocked the guy in the 7th round
If the money's worth it, I say go to that backyard and risk that guaranteed decision loss. You gotta know what you're getting into.
While you would normally box, that will get you a 9 on the scorecard. You have to step down on that accelerator, and look to take the judging out of the equation.

Andrade will have a much better chance winning a decision if it is not in the UK. Good fight with the edge to Andrade.

I'm excited about this fight. Maybe the styles won't gel but it's a very significant fight between two excellent unbeaten fighters in their primes.

BJS is the champion and still traveling to fight guys in their back yard. I give him credit for that.

Eddie Hearn was worried that BJS had taken some terrible guaranteed payday from Warren to ensure he won the purse bid. Warren admitted this but said 2.3m was too high to turn down.
Say what you will about DAZN, but if it’s getting more decent fighters decent paydays, then it’s a good thing. I can’t work out if Hearn is pimping out his U.K. fighters as easy fodder for US champs or whether he believes he can make a few new U.K. champs

Saunders you have to go to US because in UK nobody will go watch your fights, let's be honest.
