The Wilder-Fury PPV fights feature former heavyweight champion Charles Martin against Gerald “El Gallo Negro” Washington, WBO junior featherweight world champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete against Jeo Santisima, and super welterweight Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora against 2016 Olympian Daniel Lewis.
This is about as good as an undercard can get from top to bottom. Might have to pull the trigger on this.
Surely you jest!
Might be as good as most PPV events get these days, but that’s not saying much. Boxing and MMA both need better undercards. TRUMP 2020!
Gerald Washington and Charles Martin will be an OBF eliminator for what? The number 2 spot? They are low ranked.
Noone cares to see these two getting another shot at a title. These guys should be on a none televised 10 rounder
I think they are just there as hw entertainment
I enjoy watching Washington fight but I hate weak ass Martin! He talks loads of crap and has 0 to back it up
You guys enjoy buying this one. My lunch and milk money right along with my pocket change allowance will not allow me to buy it (snicker).
I lived in the 90s Don King PPV era. Love him or hate him, the guy put in great cards. This is the total opposite we have these days…
