That's about the size of it. A couple of excellent 'little' boxers fighting for a title, or a couple of punchy brawlers scrapping over a bag of money whilst Hearn assaults your senses with flashing lights and the sky pundits constantly bellow about how it's a 'classic'. As Warren says, he can't flog these duds as world class fights forever... Enjoy.

I shall, and I hope you enjoy your night tool.

You seem a bit harsh on Hearn but before he teamed up with Sky boxing was in the dumps in the UK. Now it's where the future is and boxers are better off because of it....Warren's had to up his game considerably.

Turn that frown upside down.

Never heard of Lennox Lewis, Froch, Prince Nadeem etc? All existed before the boy king Hearn who only has AJ in his stable of real quality and he's frighteningly mismanaging his bankable opportunities given his talent.
If anything, Hearn and sky are absolutely murdering British boxing with these skill-less, low rent bouts sold as world beaters. It's all skirt and no knickers. Warren, on the other hand founded box nation and always puts on top quality cards, not just headliners. That's why Hearn has taken the desperate measure to go head to head tonight, totally disrespecting the sport and the fans. The two fights are like comparing a Rembrandt to a GCSE project, but Hearn has the backing. If you love British boxing, send a message: boycott the Chisora fight.

Hearn promoted Froch on Sky of course.

Yeah, of course I remember Lewis and the Prince....though Lewis being British is questionable and even now he lives in Canada but nevertheless fine champions.

They existed in a time where the money for fights in the Uk was.....like I say in the dumps....Lewis fighting several of his big fights in the states as did the Prince...the money wasn't here.

Hearn is very successful and I'll state the truth again, money for boxing in the Uk is now even bringing the Americans here and Hearn is filling Wembley.....As for Warren...Well, I'm all for the competition and I don't want to see him fold but he's in financial trouble and bowed out of Box nation a while back.

British boxing is in rude health, if Warren folds Sky will simply take on the quality.

Wow I have to disagree with that. I refuse to go to Warren fights because the quality of the undercards have been awful. As for the top bill Warren is happy to put on bum of the week if he can get away with it. Look at some of the rubbish that Eubank fought when he was champion.

Hearn has been a breath of fresh air and forced Warren to up his game which can only be good for the sport.

However having two major fights on the same night is crazy and for that the British Boxing Board of Control has to take responsibility. They sanction the fights and in the past would not allow more than 1 per week.

Good points.

Though I'm not knocking Chris.....Every boxing fan is good for the sport.

Fair play lads, enjoy the evening: should be a good slug fest. Chisora could nick it, looks in better shape. I'm just sick of the constant over hype from sky and the disrespect from Hearn regarding the schedule. Those are two top fighters in Warrington and Frampton who are going to be hurt financially by this Low blow by Hearn. The lighter weights don't get the same draw as most punters want to see big punches, regardless of quality. Hearn knows this, he'd bill any old s***e and then it's all trash talk and over promotion to sell it. Not for Clive.

Give over. Those of us who appreciate a boxing match will be watching frampton/Warrington. Those who watch too much sky sports news for their own good and repeat what they're told will tune in for the two old dobbers on sky.

Those of us who appreciate our boxing will be thinking how lucky we are to have two good shows to choose from tonight.

Frampton/Warrington for the purist, Chisora/Whyte for the entertainment. Everyone can take their pick.

Whyte knocked Chisora out in 11th

Didn't watch it as watched Frampton fight. Heard Chisora had won first half of fight.

Chisora up on two of the scorecards when he was knocked out.

Great fight.

Both great fights and a shame British boxer of the year has already been awarded as Warrington wins that hands down now.

By the way the BBBofC came out and said they had enough representatives for both shows so there was no reason not to sanction them, they never used to sanction big promotions on the same night but Warren challenged them and had it changed years ago. What goes around comes around.

Well that answered a point I raised as you say its a bit rich for Warren to complain. Hoisted by his petard.
