Had no clue this fight was on a Friday, talk about poorly Promoted but also the HYPOCRISY from the "So Called Boxing Fans" who always cry about the best fighting the best and wanting guys to unify but yet when a Big Unification Match gets made a lot of us are silent about this BIG FIGHT

Respect to both for fighting each other and may the best man win tomorrow night and hopefully both get out of this fight safely without suffering any serious injuries

100% agree! This is a big fight. Props to both fighters and their teams in not engaging a "marination" process for this fight which would ultimately be pointless here (EE fighters + limited english + limited fan base).

That being said, that fight couldn't even get a single mention on First Take this week! Between ESPN and FOX, only FOX seems willing to go the extra mile to promote boxing

I kept meaning to ask why this fight is on a Friday anyway? I don't follow any other sports, but is there some major event on Saturday they're trying to avoid? I thought Friday was traditionally for the prospects and up and comers...?

Top Rank , being associated with Espn , always had Friday Night Fights
Kind of like a replacement for the old Friday Night Fights
Could of been a great night of boxing , with multiple angles to promote this fight but that wasn’t the case here

What are you talking about this is a great fight but who the F even knew it was happening. That’s the source of the lack of chatter. Terrible promotion.

I will definitely be tuning in for this one. So put that white card back in that fake oppression deck.

When the dust settles, all hail King Artur.

Really looking for this 50/50 fight. I'm out so will watch it tomorrow evening.

Beterbiev will land some of those short shots inside and we've seen what happens when he lands those. People drop mang

... it is what it is...

I got Gvozdyck. Better all round technician.

... Beterbiev also is a technician, except for the fact that he hits much, much harder...

He wasn't much of a technician against Hot Rod when Hot Rod was landing 3-5 flush combos on his face.

At the end of the day, "The Nail" nails down "The Beast"
