Which undercard fight could steal the show?

When you get a PPV card like the one we are faced with on Saturday, it is often the case that one of the support fights steals the show in terms of quality, competitiveness and drama.

The best example this year was Mitchell v Linares stealing the show of Brook v Gavin. So what about Joshua v Whyte. Who could steal the show from them?

Eubank v Sullivan could do it. I think Sky think so. I don't think it will though. I think Eubank has too much for Sullivan.

Mitchell vs Barroso could do it. Kev has one of those styles that will see him dragged into wars. My pick though is Bellew v Masternak. Bellew has got himself into wars before and I think this one could be a slugfest.

Would love to know what you guys think could steal the show

How many wars has Bellew actually been in can I ask as I haven't really seen him in any off the top of my head

Think Joshua creams whyte impressively so that could actually steal the show but yea mitchell seems a good bet. Technically very good with power in his left uppercut but vulnerable and prone to getting sicker into a scrap although don't know anything about his opponent ngl

The first fight with Mackenzie was a war. Plus a lot of his fights are bruising because of his style. I would say his wars are dramatic because of his inability to back up his power.

Looking forward to seeing Luke Campbell

By seeing I hope you mean via text updates on sky or BBC

Don't tell me you are buying it

But was it a war? Cant remember it too much but pretty sure he got dropped twice in a round but don't remember it being a 3 minute a round slugfest

Bellew doesn't tend to get into wars, it's a myth that surrounds him for some reason (same with the power) I like him and think he's technically better than he gets credit for but he has put on some stinkers in recent times. (I'm still a fan though Mr B)

Don't think any fight will steal the show as it's a pretty pee poor card. Think this is the beginning of the end for decent domestic scraps unless it's done locally.

No, not buying it, don't have SKY and wouldn't even if I did.

By "seeing" I clearly meant "watching p!ss poor mobile phone footage on YouTube a week later"

That was your definition of a war? You must be a very over-excitable boxing fan.

As others have said, can't think of one 'war' Bellew has been in.

Clev's last fight was a more likely contender for 'war'.

haha fair enough :-)
