Have been waiting for Roman-Akhmadaliev, hope Roman doesn't injure himself again, i don't expect Roman putting both belts on the line, probably they'll fight only for WBA super, would be enough to start for Murad

Very solid triple header. Main event is a bitweak but the other two fights more than make up for it.

I'm just gonna go right ahead and copy paste the post I just made in the matchroom fights threads and see if anyone can explain this one to me:

They picked Miami for this card why exactly? I'll probably never quite understand the nuances of regional rivalries and fanbases in the US, but Tevins from Philly, Boo Boo's a New Englander, his hapless opponent is Irish and Diaz is Californian. Not one of them will be fighting within a thousand miles of their home crowd. Does this seem odd to anyone else... or maybe there's something I'm missing? Perhaps they're hoping to capitalise on the Superbowl build up maybe?

Ima add in Roman - another Californian and Akhmadaliev (an Uzbek fighting out of Cali) and ask the same question again. Why Miami?


It is a decent card though.

Fair enough... I guess maybe that's a dimension anyone not from the US will probably never really get fully.

So even though it ain't on the same broadcast or even though it's on a Thursday they reckon shoehorning it into the Superbowl weekend will boost viewership / subs huh? I guess it's exposure, but I don't get how it will cross over if the Superbowls gonna be on cable and the fights are gonna be on DAZN, unless maybe it's more about pulling in some of the early weekend crowd to the live event or something?

Farmer-Diaz and Roman-Akhmadaliev are good fights. Andrade really needs to stop Keeler. He's not doing himself any favors cruising to lopsided decisions.

Correction

luis arias is not a top contender, but he is BARELY IN THE TOP 50.

almost every article i read here contains an easily corrected error.

CHRIST, YOU GUYS SHOULD HIRE ME.
