Like a fool I will get it but jesus what a terrible undercard , you have 90k people going and millions watching on PPV and Katie taylor and luke Campbell is your undercard fights , im no fan of Warren either but at least his PPV's had decent fighters on Hearn is ruining british boxing with his duff fights , im hoping for a Wlad win | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

AJ v Wlad on 12:34 - Apr 28 with 5645 views | bosh67 | I don't think Wlad will be as off key as he was last time. AJ needs to keep his chin out the way if it goes the distance but I think AJ may stand the best chance of winning on points.

AJ v Wlad on 13:39 - Apr 28 with 5548 views | Toast_R | Vlad to win on points as AJ like everyone else other then unpredictable Tyson Fury, won't be able to get beyond his robotic jab. I'm getting it in, the under cards are not as bad as the last PPV with old Haye and Bellew. That really was poor. And for the record, Katy Taylor was one of the highlights last time, she was awesome in her fight. I bought a Now TV box the other day for this, I've heard you can download the SkySports Box Office App (done) and then you order it via Now TV website. Only recently the website keeps saying "no Events to book". Anyone else used Now TV for box office stuff? Bought myself a 5L keg of Budwar at Morrisons the other day for this, £10 - a real good offer. On til Tuesday while stocks last. Get yourself on it! [Post edited 28 Apr 2017 13:51]

Toast mate the undercard is pathetic in fact all of Eddie Hearns cards are poor he has been getting away with it for 3 or 4 years now , its at Wembley with 90k people it should be a proper good card not polluted with the likes of Katie taylor whyte, or de gale should be on the undercard with at least another world title on the line , the only way it will change is the over hyped AJ getting beat | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

Still think the last one was worse but yes there a few well know names on the under card worthy of the £20 fee. Having said that, big names don't necessarily mean the fights will be any good. There still might be some good fights from the relative unknowns, you just never know. I'm guessing it's difficult to get the fights everyone wants to see on the same card when you have Box Nation and normal Sky Sports showing events most weeks. | ![](/images/avatars/1554.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Pretty sure I've disagreed with you about this in the past... but this time round the undercard is terrible, really is - campbell's opponent being weight drained to f and not making weight today doesn't fill you with confidence that that will be a cracker.... That said overall about 2/3rds of Matrchroom's undercards over the past few years have been OK. Using the Whyte Joshua which was probably the best, the card had eubank vs spike mitchell vs barroso bellew vs masternak campbell vs mendy chisora vs gospic The fights that night were through the roof! Also at the risk of sounding like i've got my head too far up Hearn's ass I'd believe in part at least his explanation of this undercard being down to Klitschko's camp. if you want to look at examples of terrible undercards look at Klitschko's fights. They never spend a penny extra and sell it all on the main event. As an example chief support when he fought Fury was a ten rounder - Tlatlik Vs Rahimi. Hope the main event delivers on Saturday. Watched the Jennings fight again earlier and Wlad was massively unimpressive then landed an average of 4 1/2 punches a round against Fury. I think there is a half a chance that AJ just walks through him and smashes him up by round four - though at 7-1 a Wlad decision , holding paw jab, holding looks value too. | ![](/images/avatars/4281.gif) |

Using the Whyte Joshua which was probably the best, the card had eubank vs spike mitchell vs barroso bellew vs masternak campbell vs mendy chisora vs gospic yes that was a good undercard on paper which I don't mind paying for, the rest have been pathetic and a waste of money ,IMHO the hype for these sky/Hearn cards has been through the roof well OTT if you go back to the mid to late 90's frank warrens PPV 's were always stacked full of talent with Naz, Collins, Robin Reid , Catley all on the card , when Bruno won the title at Wembley you had Nigel benn fighting before him , that's what it should be about a boxing night to remember Hearn has the 02 Booked I think for the next 5 years which is worrying as we are going to end up with duff miss match fights like haye vs bellew & GGG vs Brook Whyte is even now going to be headlining a PPV fight at the end of may, yes dillian whyte he was supposed to be on the undercard tomorrow but will now be a main eventer Boxing needs the likes of Fury brothers , Eubank Jnr, Khan & BJS to stop p1ssing about and start to fight real fighters for proper titles and maybe we can end this Eddie Hearn pantomime we are currently getting | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

Agree with a lot of that, esp the trend for mismatches, even though with bellew they sometimes win, helps if you are fighting a hop along.. Lost any interest in the travelling band of fighting men, who don't fight much. Still think you are harsh on the fen standard of undercard. The rest haven't all been a waste of money, they just haven't, it's much more of a mixed bag, but the time it would take to go back, check and write them all up isn't worth it. There's an ongoing thread on the checkhook boxing forum measuring frank's boxnation shows vs hearne's natchroom you could take a look at. Incidentally you won't be alone on that forum thinking hearne is ruining boxing! Coming up you have brook spence, which is a brilliant fight, be interesting to see what sort of card they end up with there, hopefully half decent. | ![](/images/avatars/4281.gif) |

In all the footage I ever see of Joshua training it's all strength and conditioning stuff which would account for his physique, I've never seen him doing any roadwork. I'm sure he must do some but if the balance of his training is more about power as apposed to stamina then if Klitchko does take AJ into the later rounds then it could get very interesting. I've got a sneaky suspicion that this fight is not going to go AJ's way. But then I am one of life's eternal pessimists. | ![](/images/avatars/1301.gif) |

Taylor was good, bit one sided, but has the skills. Campbell fight was decent without really catching fire. Quigg fight pretty good. Cant help thinking could do with a whyte/Chisora 2 type fight to really get things going. | ![](/images/avatars/4281.gif) |
