    Exactly, only hardcore boxing fans, which is why his numbers against Kotelnik and Salita were laughable. Surely they should try and build him on regular Sky. So more people will pay the PPV and stay up to 4am to watch his big fights in America.

    It's not "official" yet though.

    Funeka's ban will be lifted by April though, I think. And Urango was supposed to move up before but took the Alexander fight, so he might do the same for Khan.

    Urango also a big puncher.

    Either Peterson or Ortiz are fine with a view to taking on the Bradley vs Alexander winner later in the year.

    This isn't PPV worthy. Bet Golden Boy will give us a **** undercard as well.

    And will this bet at 4am to accommodate HBO?

    Of course it isnt, I understand that. But do you not think he's a better sell than Peterson? I do.

    Neither was Haye-Harrison, yet 500K+ bought that.

    God I hope it's not Lamont Peterson.

    What a shite fight.

    I think Peterson is better foe.

    Urango is a risky pointless fight. He's a poor man's Maidana at this stage. Maidana is actually got some decent skills. It wouldn't help in a Bradley fight either.

    Lamont is fairly slick and works, which Bradley also does.
