Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) With Boxing being moved to the MMA thread ive thought about how we would keep the discussion rolling, especially with the death of megathreads. I was thinking a random fight discussion thread alongside the news thread to talk about random small shows, then get a single thread going for the bigger shows when they return. However, i thought Matchroom's Fight Camp series deserved its own thread. This sucker will kick off at the beginning of August and run for 5 weeks, 3 shows on Sky Sports before the finale being a Sky Box Office show. I cant wait for this. Here's how it stacks up: Saturday August 1st: Friday August 7th: Friday August 14th: Saturday August 22nd: I waa gonna list the fights but the posters already does that for. The lineups are almost complete, the Box Office card has a couple of fights left to be added though, including an opponent for Katie Taylor. Roll on August!

kamicazze Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Really looking forward to these. Cheeseman vs Egginton is probably the hardest fight in which to pick a winner and will probably be an absolute tear up. Perfect one to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Looking forward to this tomorrow. I haven't been watching Warren' shows or the shows in the US, so this will be my first boxing card in months! It's a nice little domestic card.

jimufctna24 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Eggington vs Cheesman was tons of fun. I scored it a draw. I think it was quite clear that most the early rounds went to Cheeseman and most of the late rounds went Eggington. I can see why Cheeseman got the nod though. He did briefly stun Eggington in one of the later rounds (I forget which) and another of the later rounds was pretty tight as well.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2020 That was a really good fight. It was one of those that whoever lost was going to feel aggrieved. I had Cheeseman by a round but I could easily see why you would call it a draw or by 1 round to Eggington. Undercard not bad either. I'm not sure where Fabio Wardley will end up. Needs 5 or 6 more learning fights before the mandatory Kevin Johnson fight so we can really gauge his potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Cheeseman vs Eggington was the first fight where I’ve really thought ‘yeah boxing is back’. Some of the Warren card fights have been decent but this was something else. The fight itself plus the unique setting of it being round Hearn’s gaff. It was quality. Oh and this wasn’t bad either...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2020 Eddie Hearn hasn't done bad for himself has he. That looks like a pretty rough estate he grew up on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 3, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2020 Wardley looks decent, real fast for a heavyweight but maybe abit undersized for todays heavies. Was impressive. Really liked the look of Dalton Smith, always good to come out of a show with a new name to keep an eye on. Had Cheeseman/Eggington spoiled for me so didnt really get into it, fight delivered as advertised though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
