My sinful soul is alive tonight.

Giddy on my modest midas touch I am convinced I can do no wrong.

Felix Strum 3/1 to beat Martin Murray by ko/tko with paddypowers.

Now I know his knockout rate isn't great but he needs a big performance to right the preceived damage to his reputation.

Don't put the child benefit on it but Mondays pints for a saturday night blowout must be worth a thought.

Dont know if like mw you guys missed this but Ward, Gallagher and Moylette have signed up with the WSB.

 

In you opinion Matt, looking forward to London 2012, is this a good or bad thing for our prospects of having more representation there?

 

Matt I think they have only been drafted, yet to accept? Kazakhstan and India

 

Don't know,just seen the draft on AIBA,
As for London, surely a good move for Gallagher, he is well down the pecking order, has a pro style and it may improve him as an out and out amature too.
Ward will gain experience but I'd worry about the 85 kg limit, I think he needs to firm up and work hard on making 81 and boxing at 85 where you need all your weight as the other fellow is probably walking around over 90 might not be clever.
Moylette I'M surprised at but it certainly helped Nevin as far as agressive boxing was concerned so it might add more of that to his already good defensive attributes.
BTW Nevin himself will hardly box at 54 and 60 will be a tough call if he wants to watch his 56 kg weight linit in the amatures. The last thing he needs in the Olympics is weight issues. He may have got all he requires out of the WSB as far as boxing is concerned but the money is another matter.

 

I did a bit with Andy lee a few weeks back where basically he was saying he's delighted that his next fight (Vera) was the big deal in the Kronk, that Emanuel was sticking around for all his training camp and he got whatever he requested, pretty much fully accommodated as the main man for the first time in his career there. Obviously Cotto was not so happy as Stweard outlined:
Seems they're taking Lee's career pretty seriously these days, unless the Cotto row is all about cash as some suspect.

CIANI: Now Emanuel, news recently came out just this week that you will not be training Miguel Cotto for his upcoming rematch in December against Antonio Margarito, and I was wondering if you could tell the fans what happened?
STEWARD: Well we basically agreed to everything in terms, and I was supposed to start I believe on Saturday at the training camp. Then Sunday I got home, I got a text, and they said they decided to move on without me. That was basically it so I said, “Fine and good luck”. There was never an argument over too much of anything. Maybe they wanted me to be there a week or so earlier, and I said, “No, I can’t do that. Andy Lee has a big fight here!” That was the only thing, but we never had any arguments. We agreed to money and terms and everything, but for some reason they decided to do different. I just said basically, “Good luck! I’ll see you all at the broadcast”. And that was it.

CIANI: Now do you think that you will be working with Miguel some time again in the future?
STEWARD: No. This is the fight he needs the most anyway, but no. We’ll just remain friends, but I think a lot of the problem was that everybody wanted me to just drop everything with Andy Lee, because they naturally figured that’s not an important fight. But I had to stay with this man all the way through. That was one of the things. I said, “No, I have to stay here. I have a major training camp with this man”. So that was one of the issues. It never was any problem that came up with Klitschko or anything. Everything was in order with Andy, and then next was Miguel. Those were the two priorities. After that we talked and agreed, and I said we’d finish up when I get home on Sunday because I have to keep my mind and focus on this fight here. They said okay fine, we’ll talk Monday or something. Then I got two texts where they said they decided to move on and do otherwise. I didn’t even ask them any questions. I said, “Okay, fine. Thank you and good luck”.
