    Belfast-Newry-Dundalk-Red Cow Inn (Dublin) would probably be just as handy a route. I think I might fly over for this one!

    I'd say more of an indication that they haven't got the opponent/s they were looking for rather than strange. Hopefully they can still get someone reasonable on a months notice.

    Have watched the first 3 rounds and last 2 rounds of the Barker fight(and I'm gonna watch the rest soon). I had previously felt Barker's accuracy would be too much for Lee, particularly as Lee loves to eat straight rights.
    But Barker really did show up quite a few flaws of his. His stamina is every bit as poor as Lee's, his punching power isn't great(we knew that) and his chin has question marks again for the the first time in a while as he looked a bit stunned in the 11th.

    Looking at Barker in there aswell and his style I think he could be trouble by Lee's size. It would be very hard for Barker to establish his jab against Lee and without that he'd really struggle to set up his other shots. Previously I had thought Barker UD, but now I'm just edging with Andy.

    Recind that comment or I'll have a team of Johnny Cochrane style lawyers swoop down on you with immediate effect :deal

    Carlos is the new golden boy. Squeaky clean and above reproach. He can hit the sleaze train once he's P4P #1

    Until then I'll volunteer to take care of any tarts that show up since I'm such a nice bloke :good

    The Andy Lee Card is class - but it clashes with Mitchell v Katsidis - which I cannot wait to see. Think I will watch the Warren card live, record the Lee card and watch it straight after.

    On another note, Mike Perez being added to the Lee, must surely mean that he is pulled from the Alio card? That's a shame - how about Acosta? He would be great for the Alio card if it can be worked??
