Why was Jason Quigley not at the Olympics?

He didnt qualify...

Did he lose in the Middleweight or Lightweight National Finals?

middleweight or lightweight?

Starting to see reports that Pacman may be close to retirement after a neurologist claimed he's showing early signs of Parkinson's. Terrible if true.

Anyone going to the Frampton fight at the weekend? Andy Lee's on the undercard too.

Are there still tickets available for the fight??

Wouldn't imagine too many available, I'm off to Dublin on Sat so will not be able to go, think the betting is slightly off, they have Carl at 1/6 in places and I think personally it will be a lot closer than the bookies think, though a lot of this is determined by the betting public.

On the fight Carl should be concentrating on the body punching which has served him well in his last few fights, his ability to target these areas has left his opponents zapped and open for a flurry of punches to get knocked down/out. If Carl doesn't have him knocked down before the 6/7 rounds then it may well go the distance and he should win handy on points. Well I hope he does.

Does anyone know if you can subscribe to Sky Sports for one off fights?  Don't have it but would like to see the fight tomorrow

Only on Box Office, Frampton's fight is on normal sports channels.  Normally online at http://boxingguru.eu/gurutv1.html or that firstrow (or is frontrow?) sports.  I had the app for it downloaded and you could watch nearly every sporting event going on it, but didn't do the laptop any good imo - since took it off.

What time is the frampton fight likely to start at?

[Milltown Row2]

Around ten I think

[bennydorano]

Andy Lee what is goin on here, pish

[glens73]

Linsday v Selby - like watching a welterweight vs a featherweight. Lindsay could get badly hurt by the end of this.
