Great card tonight at the O2

Here are my predictions.

Gradovich v Selby - Selby on points (11-8)

Linares v Mitchell - Linares by KO ( 9-5)

Brook V Gavin - Brook in rounds 10 , 11 or 12 ( 9-1)

Joshua v Johnson - I'm going for the long shot of johnson to win at 25-1 although it's unlikely but Joshua at 1-100 is ridiculous.

    Two boxing PPV in one month. I doubt the buy rate will be very high.

    The whole pay per view starts at 5pm but the main fights are much later.

    Roughly ( and these will probably change through out the night)


    Cleverley v Man 7-00 pm

    Gradovich v Selby 8-00 pm

    Linares v Mitchell 8-45 pm

    Joshua v johnson - 9-30 pm

    Brook v Gavin 10-15pm

    Should never have been a box office event.

    Decent card though, which the exception of the Brook v Gavin fight.

    I think there is more value to tonight's card than the Mayweather / Pacquiao fight but given the choice i'd rather not have to pay for either as it does boxing no good at all.

    Joshua at 1/100 is not ridiculous it just reflects the probable outcome.

    Decent card but I am still going to agree with Beds and resist PPV

    I thought Johnson was supposed to be a step up in class for Joshua?

    I think the card is good but a pay per view no.way

    The fact other cards like Mayweather and pac man had shit cards shouldn't be how we rate if it's a ppv

    Two yrs ago this would have been a Saturday night fight night

    Working tonight so won't be paying for it sad thing if I wernt working I would have bought it because I want to watch it

    Johnson is a step up. Its not me offering the odds its the bookies and they aren't usually wrong.

    Johnson has lost 5 out of his last 6 and is the wrong side of 35. I reckon Joshua will ko him in 5 at most. The odds on that might be more tempting.

    Farce PPV decision just by chucking a few extra fights into the mix. Joshua 1/100, Brook 1/12, Cleverly 1/200, so you are only really looking at the Selby and Mitchell bouts for a potentially closer bout.

    Still, mate is paying it so who am I to argue :-)

    Brook vs Gavin will be a good fight for guts and effort

    Joshua vs Johnson will be a walk in the park

    Tonight is a night where my recommendation of a fire stick to watch it for free on is coming up again

    Gavin shouldn't even be close to fighting for a world title, he can't even win the European belt.

    Look at Bundu v Gavin and then Bundu v Thurman. He's not in the same league as Brook. There's zero value in this fight.

    Didn't say value I said be a fight for guts and effort Brook is so far ahead in class but Gavin won't quit or not try and as a minimum surely that deserves it's own respect and reward, I have been critical of him in the past as I don't think he is mentally right in his fight preparation, but he will give everything in this fight he has and if you love the sport that means as much as the skills that get displayed but the more pure boxers,

    His dad was a great value fighter shocking news RIP young man my thoughts genuinely with his family

    Cleverley wins in 14 seconds with a big body punch. Hope the other fights are gonna last longer than that!

    I'm not watching tonight, it's not worth ppv and im going out.

    I hope Kevin Mitchell wins but he's got a difficult fight, Brook will fuck Gavin up and Joshua will batter Johnson.

    Great performance from Selby . Two really nasty cuts on the face of Gradovich.

    First round even in the Mitchell fight. I don't think this will go all the way.

    What a fight. I can't remember a fighter with a face so beat up as that. Unlucky Mitchell.

    Cracking fight that, feel sorry for Mitchell, had fought a very mature fight.
