  1. Attack Royals, smash up Parliament, fight the Police. That's fine... but disrupt the Boxing on the radio... that's just too far.
  2. I think it will be. Maidana is a big puncher but his footwork is shoddy. He won't be able to cope with Khan's speed and angles IMO. I've got Khan by late stoppage.
  3. I'm not sure what you want them to do. Force Wlad and Gavin to fight when they aren't fit? This is nothing like Haye vs Harrison. More fool you for paying £15 for that farce but don't let that taint the image of Boxing. No i don't expect them to force unfit fighters to fight but maybe a discount on the listed price or something? I bought the harrison - haye fight knowing it would be a joke but i expected some kind of undercard, they were so cagey about it on the run up i couldnt even find out and it ended up being one fight. Thats a piss take imo. A bit like expecting people to still pay full price even though 2 of the head line names aren't even fighting anymore. Fair point. Sky were 'cagey' about the undercard because they knew it was shite and that the people were not going to buy the fight for the undercard. It turned out to be better than expected in the end, Anderson-Groves was a late replacement and we got a good scrap there. I don't think you can say Frankie Gavin, fighting as a 1/100 favourite with some bookies, was a headline name really.

  5. I hope this doesn't put Warren off putting shows like this on again.
  6. In Khan news... 'Amir Khan: ''Mayweather blanked me on twitter' ''He was following me on twitter and then all these people were going on about us fighting and he stopped following me. He's blanked me ever since. I know he could read all the messeges that people were tweeting and I dont think he liked it. ''So now I have blanked him aswell''.
  7. PAUL SMITH v JAMES DeGALE KELL BROOK v AFROBUM MATTHEW MACKLIN v RUBEN VARON TONY BELLEW v OVILL MCKENZIE FRANKIE GAVIN v DEAN HARRISON JOE SELKIRK v STEVE O'MEARA AMIR KHAN v MARCOS MAIDANA VICTOR ORTIZ v LAMONT PETERSON That's the line up now. :?
  8. I assume there was more than a 1% chance he might lose then? Del Boy didn't have a hope in hell mate. It's a strange one considering he did an open workout just a few hours ago. Brook's opponent has also pulled out, Afrobum steps in. Clev's opponent has pulled out, not sure if they'll get a replacement. Gavin has pulled out with Flu.
  9. Wlad has pulled out of the Chisora fight with a "back injury"
  10. I love Bunce. He took a lot of stick for having Audley on but justified it with his questioning for me. Hopkins was on fantastic form as well. I wasn't expecting to hear him on the Bunce our after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwzjtJu9wA4.
  11. "I think the Vitali Klitschko beating of Shannon Briggs a few weeks earlier and the public outcry made the referee jump in early and I was denied the opportunity to show my grit, determination and desire to be in there and compete and try to get back on level terms." Yes, that's it.
  12. More here http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/garethadavies/100014042/bbc-snubs-mixed-martial-artist-bisping-again/ I'd say it's because he is virtually unknown to the general public. He might have been watched by half of the US, it doesn't make him any bigger in Britain. Maybe there is a case for UFC to be broadcast on the BBC, but until they start broadcasting Boxing again they can get ****.
  13. Haye second? Shouldn't even be on the list if we're going by Sporting achievement. I'd have him behind both Froch and Burns.
  14. Hype job Caballero loses as well Ward and Bika going at it like rams... Ward complaining about headbutts
  15. http://boxingguru.co.uk/gurutv.html Try that later.
  16. 10:40 the bloke from Primetime said on ESB. A lot of class, indeed. I really don't mind who wins this one , 2 very likeable fighters. Both fights tonight have the makings of wars. Bring it on!
  17. I don't think there's much point in comparing RJJ and the four kings head-to-head when you consider that RJJ only ever had 2 title fights at Middleweight.
  18. Looking forward to it actually, is it on telly? Slightly worried here though, Froch just keeps having war after war and eventually it's going to catch up with him and that chin will finally shatter, no-one can take what he takes and have longevity. The Abraham fight is make or break time I reckon. Neither guy is big on technique and defence that's for sure but Abraham hits like a truck. I'm picking a mid rounds stoppage for Abraham, it pains me to do it though. TKO5 would be my guess. On a different note, I'm just reading the ESB thread about Hagler V Calzaghe....**** hell :shock: Primetime £15 with Ward-Bika thrown in after. I can't say I'm excited about that one. The two most obvious outcomes are AA T/KO or Froch on points. I'm leaning towards AA stoppage at the moment, although I've been changing my mind constantly. I'm not convinced Froch can fight to a game plan for 12 rounds without getting sucked into a war with AA. Also, even if he does stick to the plan, I don't think trying to emulate what Dirrell did is going to work for Carl. His footwork isn't good enough. So I can see AA cornering him in the later rounds and landing a big shot through Froch's leaky defence. I'm not convinced Hagler could make 168 these days tbh. I'll still go with him though. :winkold:
  19. Cracking night of fights tomorrow. I wonder how many people are even aware there is a Briton fighting for a world title tomorrow, or are even aware of who Carl Froch is? Mick Henessey really is a shit promoter.
