Thread: undercard for Kessler/Calzaghe

Anyone know if they will have an undercard for Kessler/Calzaghe, or will they only be showing the main event

Doubt it

the undercard is proper crap

coverage starts at 2015, so you'll probably get to 'enjoy' the undercard in it's entirety.......

Yeah Brits get an undercard alright

Enzo bashing the life out of no-name and the plodathon between Skelton and the Basketball player that Audley KO'd are the "highlights"

Joe Calzaghe vs. Mikkel Kessler

Enzo Maccarinelli vs. Mohamed Azzaoui

Matt Skelton vs. TBA

Ricky Burns vs. TBA

Anders Hugger vs. TBA

Thomas Person vs. TBA

Tony Bellew vs. TBA

Kerry Hope vs. TBA

Nathan Cleverly vs. TBA

Barrie Jones vs. TBA

Harry Miles vs. TBA

The real reason why 55,000 people are in Cardiff on Saturday is Matt Skelton. You can try running but he'll headbutt you sooner or later.

Boxrec have penned in a few names for those TBA's from Warren's website, which are:

Skelton v Julius Long (I'll be hitting up the bar section for that one.)
Ricky Burns v Yussuf Al Hamidi (2-4-1)
Anders Hugger (8-0) v Hastings Rasani (20-30-1)
Thomas Person (8-0) v Lee Noble (7-5)
Tony Bellew (1-0) v Adam Wilcox (0-1)
Kerry Hope (10-0) v Ernie Smith (13-121-5)
Nathan Cleverly (10-0) v Joey Vegas (10-1) - Could be quite competitive, but Vegas' record is padded as much as the home fighters' are.
Harry Miles (1-0) v Mark Phillips (9-46)

Having been at the Millenium Stadium for Matt Skelton's "Strictly Come Dancing" performance against Danny Williams, I think I may refuse to watch this one on principle (or probably on the TV's near the bar).

Ernie Smith looks like a hot young prospect

It's a rematch of their last fight a year or so ago....right four round cracker it was. Frank's tipping him for great things.

But Frank tips everyone he like s for great thimgs

i can't see setanta bothering to show anything over than the main event and the enzo fight.

i reckon we'll get random highlights of random fights all night like what we got on the DIAZ - DIAZ show.

Those American cards are different they only have the American feed and are stuck in the studio

Buncey has fronted the last couple of Brit boxing shows on Setanta from the venue.. with the main event being after 1am they have hours of time to fill, so they'll show plenty of that pony undercard

How disappointing that the undercard is so ordinary. A good card really makes for a great build up and sets the mood for a good quality fight. It can also be a big let down if the main fight doesn't last long if the rest of the card is not up to a similar standard. I doubt this fight will finish too early and i understand that the first few fights on a card will always be guys with less experience but this card is like a local fight card not something you would hope for a unification title fight between 2 undefeated champs.

This is pretty much standard fare for a Frank Warren card these days unfortunately, he doesn't want to put on more than one risky fight on any card, in case his milking parlour of cash cows stable of boxers all lose out on the same night and he's left without so many big name champions.

He would defend it, however, saying that it's got a world title fight, a Commonwealth heavyweight champion and a number of up and coming prospect from Wales and Denmark which will interest the crowd.
