Thread: Mitchell/Cleverly/Gavin/DeGale/Chisora/Cox - Saturday SKY Sports 1

How crap did this card end up?

Mitchell fighting a John Murray victim from 4 years ago.

Cleverly fighting a guy sparked in 1 last time out (looked like he quit after the initial knockdown)

Chisora-Williams/Skelton/Fury()...prizefighter Baker.

McDonagh is a decent opponent for Gavins 6th fight.

Cox might as well not turn up. Or wear a blindfold.

Thoughts?

Shite card this mate, so many fights falling through, I think Franky is going to have to bring these Olympians through a bit quicker now he has no world stars.


The one im most dissapointed with is Mitchell what a joke of a fight.

Think a few decent Brits turned down the Mitchell fight (Arthur??) and Clevery is fighting for the European title but the odds/form say it all - a couple of 1/10 shots

Originally this card looked good, but with all the changes its awful now. I agree with Skel, I'm particularly dissappointed in the Mitchell fight, its time he starts stepping up in competition now. Chisora/Baker is terrible too, i really wanted to see Fury/Chisora when Williams pulled out.

I like the look of Cleverly, can see him being a good contender in his weight class in the not too distant future.

I'd never even heard of Chisora till yesterday but I get this sky sports now for some reason and they were interviewing him and apparently he's a biter and they asked him about it and he was like oh you know sometimes those things happen in boxing So casual, like he was talking about twisting your ankle playing basketball, I loved it.

Shit card, Mitchell should be trying to get in with Katsidis now that Guerrero has pulled out. That would be an awesome fight.

I mentioned it in the Kats/Guerrero thread, his wife's leukaemia has come back.

Well thats more than fair. Hope all turns out well for them. Far more important than a boxing match

There's not even a hint of a mischievous, playful side to his comments. I don't care what fighters act like outside the ring but he really comes across as an areshole.

I would even cheer for Audley over this guy

I am surprised it is not PPV myself.

Mendoza looked half decent when he fought John Murray. It was a close fight until Murray got headbutted. Not sure how he's been doing since mind. He looked tough and quite talented, but he looks to have gone backwards. Could be half entertaining though, especially if Mitchell under-estimates him.
