    Got another great weekend of fights to look forward to :happy:happy.

    First up on Friday, Matt Macklin aims to win the vacant Euro title against tough Finnish ****er "Idi" Amin Asikainen. :lol: @ the nickname.

    Here's Amin's fight against Ghevor in full (Asikainen is the taller guy):

    Then on Saturday, over in Ireland, Bernard Dunne has a tough first defence against a Thai bloke who we'll call Poon for simplicity's sake. Here's his fight against Somsak at Bantam:

    Poon-Cordoba is also on Youtube. :good



    If that's not enough then in the early hours of Sunday morning we have a HW title fight that could actually be entertaining :shock:. Vitali Klitschko takes on Cristobal "titties" Arreola in a defence of his WBC title.

    I think for this fight the weigh will tell us a bit about how the fight will go. If Arreola's in decent shape then he could give this faded version of Vitali some problems.

    In addition to all of that we've got Jean Pascal-Silvio Branco on Friday and David Diaz-Jesus Chavez on Saturday. You can legally buy the Diaz-Chavez card, which won't be televised, for $9.99 from Gofightlive.tv.


    Unfortunately, only Macklin-Asikainen will be televised on British TV (SS2, 10pm).

    The Dunne fight should be on a legal, and high quality, stream on the RTE website as usual

    Yep, we had a fantastic card with Rigondeaux headlining on Friday 'night' (the twats on the general are saying he's 'overhyped' and feeding off of bums after 3 fights!:patsch) and an awesome card on Saturday 'night' from Vegas. This weekend we've got another awesome Friday (can't wait to see Pascal again) and an equally awesome card from Ireland on Saturday:happy. ****- I forgot about Vit-Arreola just then!!!:yep:happy

    To think that just a few months ago there was nothing and now all of a sudden there are fights coming from all over the shop:happy:party.

    We've got a lot of good fights coming up.

    I think Macklin will do a number on Asikainen. Dunne v Kratingdaenggym has the potential to be an absolute storming fight. All in all, a belting weekend.

    Love the nicknames!

    And another great weekend of fights! Poon could give Dunne some problems I think but it will be an awesome fight. Macklin should handle Asikainen. VitKlit will destroy Arreola. He's ****!

    Got to go the other way, mate. I think MM takes him down in the late rounds in a tough, action packed fight. I haven't seen a lot of Asikainen but from the little i have seen he is tough and hits hard but he is far to easy to hit (especially by the straight right) and has been stopped a couple of times before.

    I just see dunne having to really struggle with world class opposition. Not saying he can't beat him but i'm just having my doubts. Hope i'm wrong though
