Why are undercards so bad in boxing?

I enjoyed the Katie Taylor fight but I’m a big fan and bias. But every other fight have been fecking awful

Not interested in starting an mma v boxing argument but an mma event is often stacked from top to bottom
 
Sky talking up Deontay way too much, Charlie Z gave him that work
I honestly have no faith in Wilder getting past Whyte. I think he's been a cashout from day one and his brain trust just waiting to get the most money and hand him over and that's why his competition has been so bad.

I found it dodgy that the only two credible opponents he signed to fight (mandatory challengers) got busted for some little violations when the WBC have willingly let Nery keep his title despite failing a test for the fightbhe won it in and they let Salido-Vargas go ahead despite busting Vargas a month early. They got caught for actual steroids not blood pressure pills.

I think Joshua would end it inside 3 rounds against Wilder. Wilder has below average skill but he does have major power that's it.
 
LOL Joshua has a big Millenium stadium Rugby dressing room and it looks like Eddie Hearn has putt his opponent Takham up in the boiler room. Did you see that, one white chair, cramped and near a disabled toilet. :lol::lol::lol:

Joshua takes majority of the pie (and his opponent makes a quarter of that cause of the IBF rules) so not much left for the undercard. People aren’t buying this for the undercard, most people don’t even know who he’s fighting, or who he was meant to be fighting.
 
I actually think Takam is a good opponent stylistically, but he’s took the fight on such short notice that you really can’t expect much out of him
How much does it affect AJ that he was totally preparing for a different opponent?
 
So, how many rounds do we reckon AJ lets this go?
 
Not at all IMO, he fights the same way against every opponent
We'll see I guess, but must upset your plans a bit (not that I expect him to lose).
 
AJ looks like he's looking for the hollywood shot
