    Agreed. As you know all 3 are not favorite's of mine but you can only defeat what is before you hence a great weekend for all 3. Will be interesting to see where they all go from here.

    I was really pleased for Rees. His record is terrible but he is clearly a class fighter. Lets see if he can get his arse in gear at 9'9

    Get in there Jeffrey!

    Something we can finally agree on!

    Kahn done very well against a fighter that no-one really expected to trouble him (Salita a top 15 at best).

    Enzo stopped a normally durable guy with a big body shot (lets hope it is the start of him getting his much needed mojo back).

    Performance of the weekend however was Rees. I went with my Rees to win betting slip in pocket and saw him fight brilliantly!

    By far the smallest guy no-one on sky gave him a chance. Each pundit (the usual suspects) picked who they thought would win and who they thought could win. Not one named Rees in either column!

    I had a conversation just out side the venue with Bunce about you. Told him how I've been defending Joe against you.

    For the record i did a treble last night on HUCK, KAHN and Mitchell.
    Nice little treble. Got me about £70 back of a score.

    Enzo looked fine blasting out Ellis prior to losing to Afolabi and Lebedev. This tells us nothing.

    Khan deserved credit for doing what he should do when facing an over-matched opponent: knock them silly. It was a solid performance.

    Rees - couldn't care less about him winning Prizefighter. He's still dreadful to watch and should really be at 130.

    Can't remember full details coz as per usual had had a couple of shandy's.

    I believe I said remember JT> and Bunce was like like oh yeah.

    and basically said that all week you'd being trying to tear Joe a new one on all these riddiculous 'now that old ronald macdonald has beaten Barney the purple dinosaur is joes record as good' (I think there were ten different [but the same] ones during the week.

    I basically said that I'd tried to put you in check a couple of times and Bunce laughed. For all the stick he gets himself into with Joe and Enzo he is a big fan of Joe and knows how good he was. I think he thinks I'm his stalker as that was the second time in a week that I had collared him as I went to Bunce live on the tuesday.

    Also me and My brother got in a lift with him on the way to the Froch fight. Ended up walking down into Notts centre with him. He now always takes the stairs! lol

    If you think the second round of the final was dreadful to watch your watching the wrong sport!

    Have you tried syncronised swimming?

    I think he means the competition (or lack of) that he's fought.

    Possibly can see that. I still think he gets way too much stick though.

    I met him after the fight and couldn't believe how small he was.

    Don't be such a jessie - I'm entitled to what I think. I can't stand the way Rees fights, same as I can't stand the way Hatton fights.

    Have you tried not being such a pompous, self-concerned ****?

    Chillout mate for ****s sake. You've been on here a while you must be able to take bigger pokes than that.

    I only meant that the final was highly entertaining! If you didn't feel so well then that's your perogative.

    Don't think I've ever been called popous before so cheers! lol
