The decline of British boxing shows.

[Redd Foxx]

I don't get it. As recently as 2 months ago we're seeing threads on here about the UK being the home of boxing. Pro-UK members were talking about the UK being the lifeblood of the sport at the moment.
Now I'm seeing that programming is dead in the UK and has been so for a while?

Not good at all.

Sky are a complete shambles and their UK brand rests on Dillian Whyte's shoulders alone at this point, although I forgot they have Callum Smith who has great star potential. BT have done a decent job but none of their title fights were all that great bar Warrington-Frampton. I really dig MTK's gig so I can't really complain just wished I could go to watch it much easier to go to the UK than Kazakhstan for me as I'm in Ireland so it's unfortunately an opportunity missed to see Oubaali at work live. He's pretty exciting, was a top amateur for sure and doing well in the pros. I follow the lower weight classes a lot as a I'm between strawweight and flyweight myself, they may seem like fringe fighters to you but some of those guys are the real deal too and go under the radar too much except for 115 and 118 at the moment. Figured it'd be a really good show.

Yeah I’m a big lower weight fan myself. Roman Gonzalez is one my all time favourite fighters. Finally got to see him live against Fuentes albeit past his prime. The lower divisions are filled with quality, I dunno why so many people don’t watch them.

Oubaali looks pretty skilled, he has a nice work rate but I don’t think he’s capable of hanging with the elite in that division like Inoue and Nery, I remember him fighting Conlan a couple of times in the amateurs. I’m surprised this didn’t end up on the Yoka undercard since Oubaali has ties in France. A Moroccan vs a Filipino in Kazakhstan is very strange tbf.

The people who are/were saying that are the ones ****** in and brainwashed by the Sky sports propaganda. They aren’t real boxing fans.

Yeah he's oddly isolated on the card nationality wise among a sea of Kazakhstani talent. A lot of these guys pack power. I've learned to watch Eastern European cards because its often you leave with many satisfying KOs or multiple knockdown fights.

David Oliver Joyce is on the card as well fighting Breilor Teran who’s been in there with Ceja, Reveco, Narvaez and Navarrete albeit at lower weights. Joyce’s last three fights have been at MSG, in Abu Dhabi and now Kazakstan haha.

Yeah I used to love it when boxnation used to show them World of Boxing Russian cards in the afternoon, I think it was either Povetkin vs Wach or Perez and the entire card was filled with good KO’s.

They had one with Makabu-Kudryashov as the headliner on a Sunday afternoon and it was a ******* KOs left right and centre. Big slav power up down backwards and fowards in action slamming together in an epic clash of fiery Russian nuclear power and the bonga bombs of the jungle of Congo.

Yeah I seen that fight. Kudryashov is always good value, he’s the ultimate kill or be killed fighter. Insane power and no defence haha.
