Rees V Crolla - Confirmed for Haye undercard

Eddie Hearn just tweeted about this fight. Excellent fight for an undercard and hopefully a few more decent ones added to it.

In my opinion, Ress will have too much him but you never know. Tough fights against Matthews might work to Crolla's advantage.

How you guys seen this one go?

Rees by late tko or UD. Crolla wont be able to back him up to stop his smothering attacks

Just wating for STRONGBACK to find some way of criticising Haye

Someone mentioned they were considering going to this but that tickets prices were a little steep for Haye v Charr and a Heavyweight Prize fighter. I said that they should wait because no doubt the undercard would shape up to pretty decent.

Another example of good match making by Hearn. Great domestic scrap and should be a barnstormer. Hoping I get to cover this event for work.

Who do you work for Owen?

One of those hot dog vendors you see dotted about the place

Damn you got it in one DAVE667...you won't be getting any discounted hot dogs if I see you outside any boxing event!!

I work freelance hampo - started out with lots of website work for the likes of Goal, Eurosport, Statto, The Offside. Now I mainly do the 'leg work' for the papers both print and web based. So basically the sod who does initial write up's, gets to interview people etc but then has his name replaced with someone elses when it takes it's final form! Annoying but wouldn't change what I'm doing for the world!

Nice. Fancy a swap?

I work at an insurance broker for commercial haulage.......zzzzzzzzz

Depends which job of mine were talking about...

Hot Dog Vendor...Yes...Journalism...No!

I said I was considering going but it was too expensive.

Still is.

I went to Haye-Ruiz and paid £65 for seats that were lower tier but a long way from the ring... A bit too far really.

Anyway...
Those same seats are now about £85 + booking.

Too expensive.

There's talk of Frampton being added which would improve it again, still think it would be too much for those seats though.

Ah it was you rob-glos,

Yeh £85 is a fair whack if your a fair bit away from ring, although for lower tier not bad.

But on the flipside I would imagine good atmosphere and you sound like you could end up with a pretty stacked card and plenty of boxing.

7 Heavyweight Contests for the Prizefighter. In general I think they provide pretty decent viewing (have been a few dull ones but given how many have occurred that can be expected).

One of the best domestic scraps on paper in Anthony Crolla v Gavin Rees and of course Haye v Charr. If indeed Frampton does appear then thats another very good british prospect on the list...and I would expect to see a couple more on there.

Is this PPV, hope not

Either way Rees-Crolla is a good fight and will be competitive and fun while it lasts, but its hard to look past Rees for this. Unless Broner took a lot out of him, which I doubt, he is far more proven and their respective showings against Mathews shows that Crolla isn't as good yet

No WHU it's not PPV...Hearn wouldn't put anything other than a 'Huge Fight' on PPV, you can take that to the bank!!
