    This Weekend Fights: No Buzz...

    It doesn't feel like many Americans are into it. I'm sure it would've been better staged in the UK, with some of their top fighters headlining the card and all.

    Are you looking forward to it?

      Nice. I'll also probably watch the whole thing. My main interest is the women's fight. That one might steal the show.

        Yup, I'm looking forward to it. We're having a pizza party and plenty of corona beer. I've been looking forward to both the Wilder and Joshua fights even though the opponents aren't top tier.

          Good to know I'm not the only one who cares about it!

            For sure. It seems like every week there are at least 5 fights that are meaningful or interesting for me. Last week there were 7.

            4 this Week ---
            Joshua/Ruiz
            Smith/N'Dam
            Algieri/Coyle
            Kelly/Robinson
            Centeno jr/Monroe jr - - not really

            Now I look, June doesn't look as good as May.
            For one reason or another, I find interest in up and comers, past contenders, former titlists. I'm not Mr Critical like, "He, Him, and It are all bums and they don't match up to my flavor flave." If they're top 20-30 in weight class, it's prob cool to follow..
            And anybody can be upset, at anytime.

              Not really, the full card doesn't interest me too much and not much buzz more B*tching from all sides for/against Wilder that is clogging up the promotion for this. I'll watch as its in my month subscription though as always wanna see the HWs fight... well maybe not Fury-Schwarz

                  Yeah. Some of the casuals that I know are in the 'who?' stage about almost everyone on the card.

                    I mean its boxing so yea I'm in. And Joshua is must see TV so yea I'm amped for that even if I don't think it'll be very if at all competitive.

                    But yea I do agree idk wtf Eddie is doing in the US. He's just overpaying UK guys to fight in the US to primarily fans who don't give THAT much of a f#ck about them.

                    You'd think Eddie would put a bunch of his name US guys on these sorta big cards. Andrade. Haney shoulda fought on this card for his DAZN debut to get max viewers on him.

                    Instead we are watching a weird ass UK card in the US. So yea I'm not amped for what Eddie is doing overall with this card while still being a fan of the Kelly vs Robinson fight specifically which is the fight I tend to think will be the most interesting fight this weekend. But most US mfers don't give a f#ck about Kelly & won't regardless if he wins, loses or draws this weekend probably.
