Possibly Khan and Brook on the undercard of a Dillian Whyte fight? How the mighty have fallen.

If he wanted a more direct path to AJ or Wilder, he could have fought Pulev to become the IBF mandatory or Ortiz to become Wilder's WBC mandatory. Hearn must have something up his sleeve politically with this fight or it doesn't make much sense in that context. I can't say I've been impressed by Parker in his last few fights tbh, I don't think he did anything v AJ to justify being on box office again. He has a decent skill set but doesn't hit hard enough at elite level. Whyte is improving technically but still telegraphs most of his power shots and is much slower than Parker in most aspects. I am in the minority it seems but this fight doesn't really excite me much. I think their styles may well clash and produce a bit of a messy, boring fight. I would much rather have seen Whyte v Ortiz, Pulev or even Breazeale if the Alabama windmill decides the latter is too scary for him. I can only echo what others have said too, there must be an immense undercard incoming or this is Matchroom's worst PPV since Cleverly Bellew 2 imo.

Fingers crossed for both of those.

Absolutely mate, it was more of a random speculation about how they might build the bill rather than any informed shouts. 7 weeks notice isn't enough to get many serious fights over the line, unless there has been a major amount of behind the scenes work going on. I wouldn't mind betting that Bellotti v Doyle 2 and the Cheese himself will be on the bill!

Have to agree on Parker, he was poor against Fury and AJ. Overrated IMO.

Got to be a great undercard or it won’t sell well at all.

huge fight for Whyte that. Beat Parker and he’s knocking on Fury/Aj/Wilders doors for his next. Can’t believe it’s PPV though.

That's a good fight. Quite liked the idea of Whyte vs Ortiz too which was being talked about yesterday. I like Whyte because he just wants to fight, doesn't really care about the politics. Both Parker and Ortiz are risky fights for him. Joe Joyce is another one who just wants fights, sadly he doesn't have much leverage to get them. He's a relative unknown so the bigger names like Miller don't really see the benefit of fighting him. Needs to move quickly as he's already 32 but fighting this month again.

Still in BRISTOL !

I`ve said this before but I often think the g*s are a long term installation project by the KLF. However I then think even in their most twisted moments Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond couldn`t have dreamed up the shitshow that is Bristol R*vers.

Oh and it will be a round one in the middle of the room. Moving with the 80’s. It’ll be like “Cheers” at the San Giro. With “Gurt Ted” Danson

Is that the same Braintree that dicked the sags 2-0 in the conference whilst their fans sang “we know what we are, we know what we are...a pub team from Essex, we know what we are...” ?! How embarrassing is that?

If Rovers ever need reminding just how Tinpot/Ragass they really are, I believe the following quote sums it up.... ”this summer will see the development of a new stand, along side the East terrace, which will increase seating by 341”!!!
