    I've won a fair few quid on willie from prizefighter and hyland which I thought was a cert for a ko. Ive got me ticket for rigo citywest but does anyone give him much of a chance? Im seein it similar to hatton mayweather but I hope Im wrong. I only seen rigo v cordoba and he wasn't too impressive then so that gives me some hope

    No, but he still has more power than McCloskeys previous opponents and im not sure about Pauls chin. Hopefully Khan takes him lightly, then we could see an upset, but after the Prescott fiasco i doubt Khan lets that happen again.

    Well I suppose if he casey gives a good account of himself he'll at least be at euro level or get achance aginst a lesser world champ than rigo. Im goin to the fight with a few mates who only know casey from what they've seen on rte against hyland and youtube and they expect him to go thru rigo since rigo's only had a few fites himself. He's a very popular lad with the casual boxing fan. I suppose thats whats needed to make this a success, interest from people who aren't normally boxing fans

    Actually Im from Bernard Dunnes area and I was a huge fan of his but there's as much interest in caseys fite among my mates as there was in Dunne Cordoba. I dont understand how theres not money to be made for a tv channel

    I'm finding the same thing, I've been asked to get lads tickets who are really looking forward to the fight and reckon Casey is great altogether.

    One of the lads once asked me would Ricky Hatton ever be good enough to be a heavyweight champion.

    Exact same thing happened with me on Haye- Harrison, the lads who'd been watching Sky Sports News were telling me it was gonna be a great fight and that Audley had a real chance.

    Although I hope to become one of the 'believers' in March

    Yeah that Haye fight was a joke.
    A couple of the lads had money on audley for that.
    Them tshirts look fairly cool.
    Sent an email to him there
