The Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 undercard received a lot of criticism from fans for not featuring quality fights that the average non-British fan would be interested in watching on December 21st.
The only fight out of the entire five-fight undercard that features world-class fighters with title-winning potential is this one:
– Serhii Bohachuk vs. Israel Madrimov
where are the stars
This fight is the ONLY one on the undercard that is attracting any interest from boxing fans. It’s understandable that the promoters want to stack undercards with fighters that will drive PPV sales in their home countries.
They also want to help promote these guys to sell them to the local public to turn them into ticket sellers, but there’s nobody on the undercard going anywhere other than having a career that falters at the household level as junk food -entertainment that is instantly forgotten by fans afterwards,
The Disappointing undercard fights
– Moses Itauma vs. Demsey McKean
– Johnny Fisher vs. Dave Allen
– Dennis McCann vs Peter McGrail
– Isaac Lowe vs. Lee McGregor
I consider these fighters to be scrubs and unworthy of being on His Excellency Turki Alalshikh’s prestigious December 21st card as it gives fans outside of the UK NOTHING compelling to watch. These are not fights American fans want to watch. None of this is worth watching from my perspective, and there is no interest.
It is unclear if the promoters spoke to Turki to ask him to put these fights on his card or if he wanted them. I honestly can’t believe he would deliberately ask for any of these fights to be included in his December 21st event, and for obvious reasons. They are all low-level fights that do not garner interest.
Turkish will do fans a huge favor if he sweeps away these four low-level fights with the back of his hand and puts in two or three solid fights involving must-watch talents.
