Chisora v Parker should be half decent.

Chisora v Parker on 1st May.

Bivol, Eubank Jnr are on the bill.

Looking forward to watching Tasha Jonas & Katie Taylor. Hopefully Chisora can lure Parker into a scrap like Dillian Whyte, that’s the only Parker fight I’ve enjoyed.

Hearn's best P4V card for a while

Should be a decent fight and I agree Parker isn’t very exciting to be honest but has a great chin his fight the other week was beyond boring.

Bivol is going to destroy Richards and you’d assume Eubank Jnr will win then start talking of GGG & Canelo afterwards then hiding for another 2 years !

Agreed his best show in the UK this year.

I wonder if Bivol is fighting here to wet the appetite for a clash with Callum Smith who he beat in the amateurs or Joshua Buatsui. No doubt Parker is tough, can see that fight being cat & mouse. Hopefully Chisora can land. Never made any sense of Eubank Jr, every time it looks like he’s going somewhere he sinks without trace. Should have taken the Golovkin fight when Kell Brook got it.

Eubank Jr is the most talented fighter since SRL I'll have you know.

I think he beats Saunders now.

Crazy seeing people defend that as PPV but unfortunately that's why he gets away with it.

I won't be paying for it.

The card is the best Hearn card for a while though. I will Parker, Taylor, Eubank Jr all winning but should be interesting to see.

Based on what? I'm sure it's at least 18 months since he was in the ring.

Admittedly Billy Joe didn't look great against Murray but he's a bit of an enigma imo

Haha, thanks for the advice

We tuning in tonight? Quite like Okolie, seems dedicated.

Samie · « **Reply #65812 on:** March 20, 2021, 06:17:10 pm »

We are mate. Okolie is half decent, needs to step it up from now on though.

Lusty · « **Reply #65813 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:44:40 pm »

Glowacki is 10/3, am I missing something? He's no mug from what little I've seen of him.

Has Okolie done anything at all to make him such a strong favourite?

(Genuine question, I've not paid him much attention)

Beterbiev on boxnation now.

Samie · « **Reply #65816 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:37:55 pm »

Beterbiev is a monster. Could clean up the Light Heavy division easily.

Knocked this guy down first round.

Decent fight so far to be fair.

He has had covid bad apparently they said so not boxed for 18 months

Samie · « **Reply #65818 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:49:10 pm »

Deines getting in shots but it's a matter of time I feel till Beterbiev takes over.

Samie · « **Reply #65819 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:52:35 pm »

Berterbiev has won all the rounds but the other fella isn't a total bum.

I agree he is holding his own but he is losing all the rounds.

Didnt know this is his first fight in Russia.

Even he ain't that fuckin' stupid to go up to Light Heavy. And if he is he's staying clear of Beterbiev for sure.

Normally I'd agree but he's already won a title up at 175, and he doesn't exactly duck anyone so you never know.

Legs · « **Reply #65824 on:** March 20, 2021, 09:12:30 pm »

Would Bivol be on his radar next ?

Canelo has gone up to LHW but it was against a washed up boxer.

Samie · « **Reply #65825 on:** March 20, 2021, 09:15:59 pm »

Exactly lads! I ain't counting that as a Light Heavy fight.

Lusty · « **Reply #65826 on:** March 20, 2021, 09:17:41 pm »

I remember back when Kovalev was the monster at 175

Anyway I don't think BJS is a forgone conclusion so let's not get ahead of ourselves!

Aye, for a while I was saying he would beat Andre Ward if they fought at the correct time.

He's 34 and not fought for nearly two years since that dirty fight with Breidis. I'd have a 31 year old Glowacki as favourite but timing is everything in boxing. Wouldn't be shocked if it's an early night but Glowacki is a tough guy. Okolie isnt much cop with inside fighting while the Pole likes a nice scrap. Could be s decent fight.

You could have posted that a bit earlier mate, before I put the bet on

It's a one sided bore.

How is this for a title. Glowacki not had a fight for 2 bloody years
