    Idk why people ALWAYS feel the need to mention that a PPV undercard is trash. They are always trash. PPV's are ALWAYS about the main event.

    There have literally only been a handful of good PPV cards in boxing history. Hell man go look at closed circuit full cards from back in the day. Big fight undercards are virtually a lock to be trash. John Griffin (15-4) stopped Rufus Brassell (14-4) in the co-main of Ali vs Frazier I. According to boxrec the only other fight on the Ali vs Foreman card at all was Shako Mamba (10-2-1) stopping Antonio Oke (11-8-1).

      Lol. Yes it's a awful eliminator but I'm feeling like most eliminators are closer to human sacrifices with one name vs some guy you've barely heard of or never heard of. If anything this at least seems competitive. Idk who I'd take here. Hope this isn't a pickem game fight.

        From a competitive stand point it is fine, but are you really ready for Joshua/Martin 2??

          I'm not a fan of about 60%-80% of mandos so it's nothing new.

            This might be the worst PPV undercard EVER. Disgusting.

              its for the #2 spot. Pulev is at #1 and will be the next mando.....

                While I fully agree this isnt a suitable co main for one of the biggest fights this year . I also believe this is going to be a very fun fight and I'll be picking martin via late tko or SD . I think hes a level above washington at this point . But ya I'll be looking to the positive about this announcement and that's to rely on my eyes and knowledge of the sport becuase there is a great chance this fight is going to steal the show and be the fight of the night . Two guys with nothing to lose , next to no defence , questionable chins and the power to stop a fight at any moment . That makes for a good fight 8 outta 10 times, let's hope it's one of those 8 lmao

                  The scary part is generally the good undercards are the ones like we are getting on the 22nd . There is less expectation on an undercard like this. As soon as u make a big name fight the pressure is on , people assume the fighters have to perform which is usually the opposite when there is that much on the line .only select few fighters will go for the kill in a fight they can or are winning via skills and when there is more on the line the fighters are more likely to play it safe and get another W . Considering that seems to be all boxing is about these days keeping the 0 which is crazy imo . Boxing is about challenging yourself and fighting the best .

                    Pulev is the mandatory in the IBF .

                    Number 1 and 2 are who fights for it if they are next available . That means if Pulev was somehow disqualified from the spot number 2 and 3 fight .

                    Martin is fighting for a WBC ranking ,that wouldn’t effect anything about
                    Pulev , the WBC is an entire free for all with no order .

                      That whole card was trash including the main event. I had no interest what so ever.
