Hung up fighting in your own country? Hasn't fought here for a while!

Selby fighting now and he's a bit of a balloon!

He isnt going to get big, big fights hete though. His career has came to a standstill and he should be chasing the big hitters in the states (or Selby) instead of fighting nobodies in NI.

He should but that's not always the case!

He's doing just fine. His career has not 'come to a standstill' - the trilogy fight was never likely to happen this year so his progression was always going to be a tune up fight or two and a shot at one of the other titles then.

Why a tune up fight or two, surely he should be going for one of the titles at this point in his career plus due to the fact he is a 2 weight world champions who was the recent holder of a belt in this division.

Roy Jones Jr to carry on Boxing and his next opponent due to be announced very shortly, just seen on Twitter.

So sad. Pity nobody can get him to stop.

The best I ever saw too, shame that he keeps going on.

Saturday was a good evening of boxing. Eubank was impressive enough. If Groves wins that will be an interesting fight.

Enjoyed the Crolla burns fight too. While i had Crolla winning I dont think it was as wide as was made out. Probably not much point in a rematch though. Crolla should fight Campbell next.

gallsman · October 09, 2017, 04:05:45 PM

Crolla is done. The two Linares fights showed just how far away he is from the top level. Campbell would handle him easily enough I think.

No wonder the Golovkin vs Eubank Jr fight never happened ! An amusing story about Eubank Snr's demands to Hearn. Hat tip to WhiskeySteve who sent it my way.

If anyone knows of any spare Frampton fights going could they PM me please. Was third in the queue at a ticketmaster outlet and thought i was more or less guaranteed tickets. Not even the first person in the queue got any tickets (well, ringside and the ridiculous priced tickets were left). Must have all went on pre-sale but thought only a certain allocation could be sold on pre-sale. if anyone has any going spare if they could PM me please. Cheers

Joshua v Pulev fight is off, apparently due to Pulev hurting his shoulder in training.

Good interview with Kildare's Dennis Hogan who's v close to a world title shot. Tbh I'd not heard of the man

Interesting Haye is starting as a betting favorite over Bellew for their rematch.

Made a few quid off Bellew last time, can only see same result.

Surely Haye beats the head off him when he's not injured??

GetOverTheBar · October 17, 2017, 03:29:27 PM

Depends what Haye is back for? If it's money....probably not.

Haye's been out of the game a long time but in fairness he fought as far as he could with that injury the last time out - just find it surprising the bookies have him down as favorite

nrico2006 · October 19, 2017, 09:52:45 AM

I can't see any other result than a Haye win unless he is hindered from the start like he was last time out, and even then he probably had won every round up until he got injured. Bellew is a slabber, talking about 'knocking him out again' etc when he couldn't finish off a man on one leg first day out.
