Not meaning to slag off the running order and sound petty but I'd stick the Buglioni fight a bit further up. Usually exciting after all. Obviously Katie Taylor gets pushed higher up for political correctness but I can't imagine many people in the crowd will give much of a fuck. I loom forward to her donkey impressions after the fights more than the fights... and no I wouldn't say that to her face.
Agreed, although maybe that's the freeview fight to hook people in

That makes sense.

Katie Taylor isn't going to do that job for them.

Are the Okolie and Buatsi "fights" not televised? It said 6pm start when I ordered the card on Box office. They on the Facebook channel or summat?
 
Going to sound like a total snob now but these major box office shows bring out all the shit talking retards on here.

You didn't see none of that nonsense last night with a good old hardcore only fight in Braehmer v Brant.

Often I avoid these major RBRs,watch a great show and then read back through the next day totally amazed at the negativity.

I expect it to be overflowing in here tonight.Matchroom,hearn,whyte,Joshua,Katie Taylor,olympians,Dave Allen and PPV hate from posters foaming at the mouth over their keyboards.

Enjoy

Yeah I'm not sure I will be on the Rbr too much tonight either.I will be negative on the show when/if needed but not just shitting on from the start like some people it doesn't make for a great RbR. Hearn should of given people refunds but I'm paying for it tonight and hopefully it will surprise me
