What did you make of the 5v5 show? 🤔👇

[@youngmaster9972]

Good! it's great for boxing 👍

[@arkhaminmate3727]

I liked the matchups just not the quick stoppages.

[@Hologhoul]

Absolutely fantastic. Every fight was either a great fight or at least had drama. Sad to see Wilder bow out like that but he's discovered spirituality and the two don't seem compatible for him.

[@stuartgould3111]

Brilliant

[@ak-io7nm]

​@@arkhaminmate3727 Yeah a few seemed a bit quick

[@arkhaminmate3727]

Wilder was the Captain and he appropriately went down with the ship.

[@SveSamShvatio]

Zhang hit the back of the head massively without any warning from the referee. In the end, he knocked out Wilder, who had his back turned. Disgusting!

[@user-he2ou2ex2f]

@@SveSamShvatioYou’re acting like Wilder wasn’t the one who did a pirouette 😂

[@alexandertkeith3541]

@@SveSamShvatio That wasn’t back of the head, that was a perfectly legit right hook to the temple while counterpunching Wilder’s big right hand. It was pure, well-thought out strategy from Zhang.

[@garygraham2934]

Learn the rules mate - 'protect yourself at all times' - he turned his back, he was fair game. Something a lacklustre Richards should have done to Hutchinson, jump on him! It is fighting not afternoon tea!

[@mykolev3639]

​@@SveSamShvatio Bro what are you on about, Wilder let his guard and everything down and set himself for the punch.. its like saying yea Wilder had his hands down and got knocked out disgusting lol no its more that someone is biased here

[@colinwyatt-goodall4632]

Biggest winners were the fans. Outside of the wilder fight, these were brilliant.

[@souldry]

Amazing show. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about boxing. I hope the Saudis never leave

[@d.b.cooper1]

Very rare to have cards you watch from the very first fight & are hyped for each one

[@francois_bahia]

Fantastic fights. Hard luck, Eddy, you're a G!

[@GT-wo2oj]

Loved this format! Makes the whole card relevant and adds such a fun dynamic without losing any of the personal touch of a 1 vs 1 sport.

[@Hologhoul]

DAZN viewers, was it ad-free all night like it was on TNT (via Amazon)?

[@CyberChatBox]

Matchrooms Stable got found out. There was only one British fighter and a load of nobodys with flashy outfits. They are having an unbelievably bad 24 months. Brick Top is the Daddy of British boxing and always has been.

[@garygraham2934]

That's what happens when you pin your faith in yanks! Wilder, officially gone - Parker showed that, Ammo Williams, over-hyped, couldn't stop an old Steve Rolls, Ray Ford, good fighter but nowhere near 'the best featherweight in the world' - got outworked in a close fight. Eddie needs to do better next time.

[@sportmaster2586]

Next time they'll send Bivol, Opetaia, Bam, Boots and Andy Cruz!

[@CyberChatBox]

@@sportmaster2586 Yeah, all great home-grown British fighters. I think you missed the point I was making completely...

[@joewhite22]

Somewhere in America Simon Jordan has broken the record for punching the air.

[@leon3ev]

It could’ve been much worse Eddie, at least all your fighters made it back home to their families

Nobody knows him Eddie took the piss everyone knows it he took no risk but we'll done on Frank for the 5v5 win but this event change nothing

[@Bronson7]

Only casuals be yourself thinking that was eddies top 5 or even Franks it’s just a show kid they deliberately tried to match guys not pick there best out the company 😭🤣🤣

[@PatrickFitzgerald..]

Team fish eyes

[@peterudubra2593]

Fool this isn’t about who’s the best promoter! It’s about a promoter with the best fighters for the night! I hope that sink into your skull!

[@papaaddo6270]

Frank has shown he knows boxing . He got 30 years on Eddie so I’m not surprised

[@NelsonVanDweller]

They were all 50/50 match ups. Competitive fights that on other nights may go the other way. Wilder Vs zhang however seemed like a foregone conclusion yet Eddie had him as captain lol

[@Pay2winps]

Lmao FCKN COMMONNNNN WELL DONE THE LADS FROM THE STABLES AT MATCHROOM

[@MichaelCooney-zh8je]

While it's funny that Eddie got owned, I'm just glad these fights are finally getting made. Hopefully Eddie and Frank realised how much bigger and better the sport will be if they match their fighters together.

[@kennyphillips6281]

Hates losing....but his bank balance doesn't !!!

[@98jf5]

The prize for the winner was £3M 🤣

[@christopheranthony6412]

I was hoping for a preview for 5v5 But looking forward for the review 🙏🏻👍🏻 boxing news

[@Gman2509]

Very sobering for Eddie

[@DanielBeard-un2fg]

Eddie and Frank are both the best promotors in British boxing. Chin up Eddie better luck next time. I'm sure it'll be better next time for you

[@VVtos174]

sounding a bit frooty

[@mohammedaneeskhan790]

Frank Warren is dominating the sport. He has the best stable by far in world boxing. I feel sorry for Eddie and Matchroom. They have gone downhill since leaving Sky.

[@MF-ys3ux]

He has plenty more great fighters what do you mean? All the fights were competitive

[@Glasschin2.0]

How long has Malik Zinad been promoted by Warren lol 😂

[@philiusgranger919]

This is how boxing should be, Saudi money can stay as long as possible, we are in for some Stella nights looking down the line, I really enjoyed this, and imagine if Bivol would have been fighting Berterbiev, this would have been amazing. A new British favourite must be Nick Ball, he is a gutsy man..

[@michaelrb9837]

English*

[@alexandertkeith3541]

Not making Joshua-Wilder in all these years is such a betrayal of the fans. F*** the promoters.

[@Glasschin2.0]

The captain goes down with the ship.

[@Atomic_Horchata]

[@BigAlCapwn]

Eddie doesn't give a shit as long as he earned a pound note from the event. Why else would he sign Wilder for his team? It wasn't for his boxing skills was it?

[@KobzillaHuss]

Eddie trying to claim Bivols win is embarrassing lol

[@mylesw2424]

Ray Ford should have won that fight smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@andrewb2475]

Forget the smiles Eddie ain't happy because he's the guest promotor on a Queensbury show AND every one of his fighters will never box in Saudi again........this f*ckup has cost him millions.

[@GuitarNoob82]

At least fights are getting made now that Saudis are involved. Shame it took that but that'd greed for y

[@SveSamShvatio]

Absolute ROBBERY of Hrgovich! Promoters, referee, doctors, British media! Dubois was better only in one round, which is actually scandalous. And he intentionally cut Hrgovic, which was the turning point in the fight. Hrgovich had mistakes in defense, but he was definitely better in 6 rounds (even statically)! A completely undeserved victory for Dubois who has no shame!

[@funkytransport]

Bad loser… dry your eyes and watch it again

@@prljevi88 Dogadja se! Dubois je dva puta quit. I stalno dobiva top prilike. Zato što je boks krorumpiran. Nije da nema srca. pobjedio je 6 rundi iizbačen iz borbe podlim udarcom glavom. On bi sigurno dobio tu borbu da nije bilo rezanja arkade. Sudac ej spasio sudbinu Usyk koji je zaista udaren ispod pupka. Ali mogao je suditi suprotno i provjest boksa bi bi savim drugačija. Tad bi svi govorili kako je on bezvezan, neotporan na udarce u tijelo ikao to nije istina i dosbio je na stotine udaraca u tijelo. Hrpa novinaar nema i fanova nema blaeg veze o boksu. Boks je brutalno korumpiran i u potpunom vlasništvu Britanske boksačke oligarhije.
