The card apart from the main event Saturday is diabolical, at least the fight has to start dot on 10 due to Wembley Stadium rules etc

Pretty poor isn't it, taking into consideration the money this fight will generate and a main event which has high potential to not be the greatest watch.

Matchroom sent out a tweet earlier in the week. Something along the lines of "If you still need tickets for saturday there is plenty available on Stubhub, after saying the place sold out in minutes.

How can they push people to buying tickets from touts. Absolute daylight robbery.

Allegedly a big percentage of there tickets are sold to stub hub to be re-sold at a ridiculous price. They are mugging the public and something needs to be done IMO.

Matchroom events and Joshua are both sponsored by Stubhub, they automatically get some many tickets, it's how they claim a sell out in an hour or whatever, the whole thing is a sham and maybe not illegal but very bad morally in my eyes

Luke Campbell v Darleys Perez isn't a bad fight.

AJ weighs in at 17st 12lbs 2oz while Klitschko weighs in at 17st 2lb 6oz.

Quite a big difference that. Klitschko looks a lot leaner than in recent years.

Just watched the weigh in, the fact these two past a drug test is laughable, Klit looks the better to me, good muscle but still very lean and not heavy, Joshua still very body building look, that HGH is still look very dodgy

There have been massive advancements in Sports Science in the past half a decade alone, just because you see two pumped guys doesn't mean they're on HGH or Steroids.

Trainers are backed by Science! I know because I've seen it with a friends company, they helped one guy break the world record in one of the swimming disciplines last year, the guy maintained muscle and even improved all while dropping 13 kilos in 5 weeks...

Joshua has gained two stone of muscle since turning pro, he has a massive HGH gut, he is built bigger than a lot of hardcore steroid users who have been on for years.Hasn't taken point in VADA till this fight. It is 100% that he has used or using, there is no two ways about it. His bigger than most in my steroid gym I go to and them guys high dosage steroids constantly, work like crazy in the gym and don't look anything like that, a few even compete.

I don't think AJ is on roids. So many lads are these days though, embarrassing.

Quigg sounds a bit simple when he speaks, think his reach his peak though against Frampton, his a good decent fighter but not an elite fighter. He'll get a few good domestic pay days though

Good stream here. Goes without saying, don't download anything if it asks you to.
