Now they prepare to do it all over again back in Riyadh on December 21 with a six-bout main card with five undercard fights.
Isaac Lowe, 30, and Lee McGregor, 27, are due to open the card in a rescheduled grudge match.
Dennis McCann, 23, and Peter McGrail, 28, also clash in a 50/50 match-up.
British fans’ favourite Johnny Fisher, 25, collides with veteran Dave Allen, 32, while prospect Moses Itauma, 19, faces Demsey McKean, 34.
The chief support is ex-world champion Israil Madrimov, 29, against Ukrainian Serhii Bohachuk, 29.
But fans have been left unimpressed as one said: “Horrendous undercard.”
Another added: “That’s worse than awful.”
One fumed: “That’s a dreadful undercard.”

Another slammed: “Looking forward to the announcement of the big names on the undercard. Below must be the prelims obviously.”
Despite fans’ backlash, promoter Hearn was quick to defend the pay-per-view card to The Stomping Ground.
He said: “Bohachuk against Madrimov, such a brilliant fight.
“For me, McGrail-McCann – fair play to both. Two outstanding young fighters, British and European titles.
“You’ve got Moses Itauma in a step up, you’ve got Johnny Fisher against Dave Allen, Isaac Lowe against Lee McGregor.
“It’s a great card, great card. But, the problem is sometimes you have seen some undercards that are better than others.
“But every undercard is elite. And, I wouldn’t even be surprised if there was another fight added to be honest with you.”
