    This week's card will have a bunch of mismatches, but still excited to see Joshua vs Ruiz.
    The events in Tijuana and Philadelphia were very good. People on here with agenda's don't watch the events then trash them anyway.

      Ok 2 non-sh^tshows, but my overall point stands Eddie should worry about his own problems instead of talking about everyone elses issues that he believes are problems.

      I actually like this card minus the main event. Well to me Joshua is must watch TV so I'm in for that reason, but I'm not excited for the fight as much as I'm excited to see Joshua fight.

      The girl fight I don't really care for, but its a high level girl fight so fair play to them.

      The Callum fight is maybe the least interesting of the higher level fights.

      But I like the Algieri vs Coyle matchup. That seems like a competitive fight.

      And the Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson fight seems like it might be the best fight on the whole card to me. Its the one I'm most interested in watching & should tell us a lot about where Kelly is at.

        What's Ennis' status? I thought I heard something about someone was looking into signing him awhile back, but he's with someone else who's low level or something. I'm surprised he didn't get picked up by someone major out of the gate.

        I'll be surprised if he doesn't link up with someone who's a player soon or when he can. He could be the sleeper at 147 & sneak up on the main guys real quick if they don't figure out who's the best soon.

          He has to take care of some legal issues with his manager or promoter.

          Dude is going to be the future of the division, or someone that will be a titleholder and a problem to the top guns.

            DAZN brings you boxing in America as do PBC and Top Rank. Better support them all (Eddie as well) to keep boxing alive and growing. Don't be network groupies guys

              Flying under the radar that one. For all the attention that Shields vs Hammer got this is on paper a significantly higher quality fight in a far deeper division. Inasmuch as there is a women's P4P or list of the top women boxers both Taylor and Persoon are up there - arguably both in the top 5. Make a very strong case that the winner is not only undisputed at LW but also the best active female boxer in the world (Cecilia is my girl but her opposition since 2016/17 just doesn't stack against Taylors).

                Just looking up info about the situation.

                Sounds like there is some confusion about WHO IS his promoter.

                I didn't even realize manager, Cameron Dunkin (Now Boxing Promotions) got into the promotion game, but apparently he's one guy claiming Ennis. And some cat named Chris Middendorf (Victory Promotions) who supposedly works with Dunkin is claiming he's the promoter lol. I don't see that Now Boxing has even did any shows yet. And Victory isn't doing a whole lot of shows themselves (17 listed on boxrec & only 2 last year & no shows this year yet). Mainly Ennis has been outsourced to other promoters through out his career. He definitely needs a real promoter who puts on legit shows.

                  And if this doesn't work out he goes back to the UK like he's said numerous times. What happens to the young Americans?

                  Do you think the way he's ****ted on American boxing had helped?

                    Middenorf is a crook with a long history of being crooked in boxing

                      So does Arum & De La Hoya. Oscar has ownership in a soccer team. Why single out one when I named them all?
