I'd forgotten all about this till the adverts at the weekend
won't be paying for this that's for sure
not worth it
A good A side card with the Groves Murray fight being the highlight.
Joshua is going to smash Breazeale to pieces, no two ways about it, Breazeale doesnt know how to fight and Im pretty sure he doesnt want to fight. KO by round4.
Good to see Dillian Whyte back the crazy bastard. Eubank Junior, Conor Benn, Anthony Ogogo and the debut of Felix Cash.
Stacked card yes, competitive no.
I still can't pick a winner between Groves-Murray. Personally I'd like Murray to win. Good fight. I can see it tight on the cards.
Doran is gonna get battered by Eubank jr but he can dig. Should be a decent shoot-out for a few rounds.
If they let Breazeale rugby tackle Joshua he still wouldn't have a chance. He clearly shit himself in the head-to-head shows Sky did and in the little doc they did on him I'm surprised he even got on the plane to come back. He's just a giant ex-American footballer.
He's a kip the second Joshua flushes him on the chops (if he makes it out the dressing room).
Breazeale cant be that shit if hes been to the Olympics
surely him being so shit would actually undermines joshuas achievement
More vowels than consonants in a name is pretty hard to beat its true. Watched Brezeale against Mansour again the other day and I'd forgotten just how bad he is, wouldn't even be a worthy comeback opponent for Dillian Whyte imo.
Groves-Murray looks to be the only proper fight on the card, I'll still tune in as I'm 8 hours behind so its on at an easy time.
Audley went to the Olympics, and won!
Not really, Breazeale has managed to get himself ranked. Joshua didnt really have any better options so here we are. The only people that cant see that are the 'fight Fury or Wilder' mob who are blind to how the boxing buis works.
Also the Olympics was 4 years ago. Look at Joshua now compared to back then, different animal. Unfortunately for Breazeale the same can't be said.
((oh and yes ross we all know and thought the Cuban beat Joshua))
Well I got paid last Friday and I'm seriously close to being completely skint already so there is no chance I am gunna pay 18 quid for a 6 minute fight, I'm more interested in Groves v Murray anyway
Are sky going to show Porter v Thurman on this night as part of the package?
Breazeale is very cumbersome with the foot work of a dump truck riding on rims but he is also dangerous very early vs a guy still in need of adversity rounds. With the exception of Whyte, Joshua has had one way traffic and a couple who mentally laid down before the bell even rang. It's a huge showcase intro for Joshua and he's steady improving but aside from the literal punchers chance via uppercut Breazeale should have holes punched in him badly. But he'll rise before he falls.
Who would have thought a million years after Benn-Eubank his son would be telling him to behave at a press conference :D

Groves looks significantly bigger than Murray.

I was watching Breazeale last night, doesnt look amazing does he, Martin looked a bit more composed and skilful
hes big tho and can punch
have you seen how upset his last opponents trainer was when he wouldn't come out for the 6th?
Mansour was winning easily but quit because he bit his tongue in half. His trainer must have not realised... or is a sicko.
yeah I just read about that, sounds nasty
I reckon breazeale will try and survive for as long as he can in the hope that Joshua tires
I think that's a reasonable game plan for a big man in deep water, throw very little, stay on the outside and hold a lot
the only problem is if it doesn't come off then hes gonna look a cunt not throwing a punch and getting KOed in a couple of rounds
Brezeale is to stiff and clumsy to avoid AJs punches, I don't think he'll make it out of the 2nd round. Also, Eubank Sr is one of the most cringe worthy people I've ever seen. Maybe his son needs to sack him and start trying to speak for himself?
The only reason Eubank Sr is involved in his sons career is he is now a nobody and wants the media attention , what a twat he is.
Anyone know roughly when the main fights should be underway? Says the whole bill starts in half an hour, how many fights should be televised before Eubanks?
Main event is scheduled for 10.45
The TV fights starting at 7pm go - Hibbert, Whyte, Benn, Eubank Jr, Groves-Murray, AJ
When you look at that card you think, blimey that will be pretty good, I'll definitely watch that....then you realise it is PPV and isn't worth the £18 they are asking for it, that would have just been a very good Sky Sports 1 card.
I'm backing Groves to win on points, I don't know what it is but I really want to see AJ get beat.
Hibbert looks like he has a nasty cut over his right eye, very bad, fuck loads of blood
Just on the side of the eye, he'll be alright
Tis but a flesh wound
Hibbert down in the 5th, I looked away from the telly for a moment and when I looked back he was on his way down, took a heavy fall I don't know what the punch looked like but Hibbert looks like he's recovered well but I think desperation will set in.
Hibberts face is looking pretty fucking bad, he's constantly coming forward and throwing but he's getting caught as well
Wow thought that was lights out...
The ITalian guy is almost to relaxed and laid back
good stoppage by doc that 6th was painful lots of heavy punches landed flush
Yeah good stoppage, that cut on the side of the eye is pretty nasty, looks really deep.
He sounded gutted in the interview
Hearn went to Hibberts corner just before they stopped it. He needed to be stopped, leaking claret all over the shop whilst getting a hiding
Let's take a look at Whyte then, I'm going for a first Rd ko
Maybe not he's taking his time by the looks of it
Whyte looks more solid in the body/tits
If he stopped going foir a hightlight reel chinnage he will bust this geezer up
Bacurin has come to fight, not to lay down easily.
Round 4 coming up.
Bacurin came to fight but wants to quit now
Looking at this you wouldn't think that Whyte would have been the person to give AJ his most difficult fight
Is the buzz word of the night "heart" I can see them using it in every fight tonight
Don't think it has any bearing on the AJ fight, he was struggling to chase a much swifter fighter all around the ring
