Hopkins V Kovalev Box Nation (Or Stream) Should be about 4.15 am.
Hope it's a cracker. Could be B-Hops last fight at the tender age of 49! A true legend of the sport.

Hopkins is never in a cracker but he is an amazing ring technician.

Cleverly vs the Everton fan pay per view - can't see that doing well.

There's a decent undercard with the likes of Quigg, De-Gale,Groves, Joshua, Callum Smith,Jamie Mcdonell and that young German Knockout sensation just added. I'd certainly have paid £15 for that lot if I'd not have told Sky to shove it up their arse a couple of months ago. I'll watch it though by hook or crook!worsleyweb said:Cleverly vs the Everton fan pay per view - can't see that doing well.

Well I hope B Hop retires now. Totally out classed he doesnt need to prove any more than what he has already done. I can see him fighting on sadly but I just want him to retire and be able to live the rest of his life normally dont want to see another Ali on our hands with him going on and on.
As for the PPV with Bellew. it will sell wont do the numbers of the Groves v Froch fights. I just think its a case of Matchroom keeping everyone ticking over. I think next year there could well be more PPVs. They will be looking for someone to take over from Froch long term. I can say a Khan v Brook fight could do PPV. Thats the only fight that would sell on PPV. As sadly Quigg has no following at the moment so Frampton V Quigg if it happens would be on normal Sky.
Big fights will happen for a load of fighters from Matchroom stable and be good to see it going down.
If anything next week the Dublin bill will be a really good 1. Some great fights on the undercard so if you get to see it be well worth a look at it. Its got the makings of being the best Saturday fight night of the lot 2 50-50 fights at Irish title level and a 50-50 fight with Hyland v Simpson be a good 1 too. I am looking forward to going to it.

Shocking undercard in my opinion. Big names fighting bums, nothing more than a poor sparring session.
I hope it does the lowest PPV numbers sky ever sees.

And that probably explains the bad blood between them. Nothing to do with actual dislike of each other, all to do with selling PPV. Not a chance i will be paying for that rubbish.

No they actually do hate each other. The first fight there was needle now they just cant stand each other. Bellew has said it the first fight was a part of the promotion but now its personal than ever before. The 2 just dont get along. There will be fireworks trust me.
The undercard fights I like the Callum Smith fight against Sjekloca the lad hasnt been stopped and will be Smiths biggest fight. Would of loved to see Callum Smith v Rocky Fielding and was shocked it wasnt made.
DeGale v Periban well Periban is a bit of a banger so DeGale will not trade with this guy and keep him at distance if he boxes it should be a easy night if he trades be more harder.
Groves should beat Douglin easy its a keep busy fight for him. Same too can be said for Jamie McDonald and Anthony Joshua I expect Joshua to win by ko inside 4 rounds against Sprott.
Quigg v Otake well its a keep busy fight but I just dont trust Quigg there protecting him and wont risk him with any major banger or treat in this division for a long long time. Otake isnt even the best from Japan none of them look that great apart from Omori who has been Koing a lot of fighters over there. But Quigg will he struggle with Otake and his boxing style we will wait and see. I think if there is a upset this could be the fight for the upset.

I think Bellew is going to blow this, I was at the gym with him the other day and he just seems too hyped up.

Anyone paying to watch two Euro level fighters settle a grudge and a bunch of mismatches on a PPV needs they're head looked at. There was a far better fight on Channel 5 a few weeks ago (Stuart Hall v Randy Caballero) than any on this card, it was for a world title and it was free. How anyone can justify this as a PPV is beyond me.

Have a look at the odds on all those Sky fighters and tell me they are even remotely competitive.

The betting for the boxing is always shit. No matter what with the betting I think the round betting is the only value on the boxing bets. If I was doing any bets on the Bellew v Cleverly fight it would be 1 of 2. Bellew to win by KO or Cleverly to win by points. Thats my bet I would be leaning towards Cleverly just think he has the clearer mind and knows he can beat Bellew.

I'd be astounded if Sprott can take Joshua past the 2nd, with a very real chance of a 1st round knockout again. Sprott was knocked out in the 1st round of his last fight, against a guy in his mid 40's! Joshua hasn't fought anyone of any real note yet, which isn't surprising given he's only fought 9 times, but he's a million miles ahead of Sprott, even in his prime. It's about time Joshua steps up the quality of opponent for me, I understand not rushing him, but he's blasting everything they put in front of him, and how much really is he learning with these 1 sided fights now? He needs to be put in with someone who can lay a glove on him, to see if he's all power and no chin or if he can take a shot.leighton said:willipp said:ell said:Shocking undercard in my opinion.

There's no one for him to fight this is an eliminator for British title where he will fave price or chisora. Can see him doing either in 6. Price wants a go but he's not lasting 4 asnt got a chin.Matty said:I'd be astounded if Sprott can take Joshua past the 2nd, with a very real chance of a 1st round knockout again.

He will fight Price next its in the making then either Mike Perez or the loser of Chisora v Fury will be made by the end of next year. Have to see hi being tagged yet to see that and how he copes with that.

The press conference was a good 1 for the Irish card coming up some real good fights. A shame the Timms v Sweeney fight wont happen Sweeney injured himself in training. Also Patrick Hylands fight with John Simpson fell through Simpson back injury so 2 50-50 fights gone on the night. Thank fuck the Fitzgerald v Spike is still on. There head to head yesterday was unusual some sort of mind games going on lol.

Still got to be happy with Matchroom for getting a lot and lot of Irish fighters on the bill. It will be brilliant to see some of the younger lads fighting. John Joe Nevin first pro fight in Ireland. Declan Geraghty v Jono Carroll 2 good fighters starting out should be a good 1 Geraghty looks good. Then Tommy McCarthy is on the bill too this lad if he progresses well could well go onto big things. Only 24 boxed in a brilliant Am team over here was always suited to the pro game if he joins up with Matchroom I expect big things to come from him. Irish boxing is going to explode on the professional scene sooner rather than later.

Ric said:Not a particularly knowledgeable boxing fan, but Bellew seems like a bad scouse dickhead so hope Cleverly beats him. Anyone know what time the fight is likely to start? Fancy watching it if I'm home in time.
Obviously depends but between 8:30 and 9:00 isn't a bad bet.
Groves will be beating the fuck out of some scrub on the undercard which might be worth a watch too

Should be a brawl, expecting Bellew to win by KO in 6 though..
Ring-walk actually isn't expected to be till 11 so it'll be around then the fight!
Rumours of Cleverly walking out to You'll Never Walk Alone which will wind Bellew up even further! Hope it's true!
