    Ancajas was on the Pacman v Horne bill fighting a Japanese fiter.... he didn't look that special ...but should still have 2 much 4 Conlan... I don't know about Jamie taking a battering but hes a clear underdog and should lose... but the end of the day hes in the game 2 fite so good luck 2 him

    Another thing worrying about conlon is his weight. Have you seen him at weigh ins? Cheek bones sticking out through his skin like blades. I've seen death camp survivors that looked healthier. Can't be good cutting weight like that. Another one is lee selby. It's a real problem in boxing right now. We need tighter monitoring of weight cutting by boxers IMO.

    Yeah those same cheek bones are a blessing and a curse,They make the girls swoon but are the main reason Conlon puffs up so easy, after 2-3 rounds of any fight Jamie is swollen badly and red,im sure it has to impair his vision aswell as everything else,
    Game as hell but limited is how id describe Jamie, i confess i dont know anything about his opponent but from what iv read it will take a career best performance and the help of a very vocal and partisan crowd to help him claim this title,

    Glad you're still above ground puca! Yeah big ask For Jamie. Up against it. Would've preferred to see his big fight be a semi -domestic versus Paul butler but he wouldn't win that either.

    Well mccallum was an all time great and mannion with all due respect, was a basic plodder.....so yes it was target practice for Mike. Hard to watch.

    it was mccullum first world title... so when they fought he wasn't an all time great then....I watched the fight on you tube a few years back... id say it was a shut out but mannion to his credit never looked in serious trouble

    a few years ago they were miles apart...now spike isn't that behind Andy...might even upset him if they meet

    True..also I can't see golden boy risking Quigs with a puncher. Also...we don't know how his hand is...seems a very serious injury. Let's hope it's repaired.

    Right now, I could see Qugley getting the best of Lee

    Although I think Lee has zero interest in a fight like that.
    At this point in his career, he wants big money marquee fights.

    I still think he dominates Spike
