    Groves v Steiglitz 5th WBO Supermiddleweight title

    Afolabi v Huck 5th WBO Cruiserweight title

    Khan v Peterson 19th IBF/WBA Lightwelter Weight titles

    Froch v Bute 26th IBF Supermiddleweight title



    4 Brits fighting for titles, 3 of which are away from home. May could bring us back to 6 world champs. Boost British boxing back to better days.

    It is a long shot that all will win but im confident that they can all do it.

    I know some people hate on Khan and i agree that he acted like a lttle turd. He ran back to his mummy and daddy (Dela Hoya and Schaefer) and begged for them to make that naughty boy give back his toys. But he is a good fighter and i hope he pulls it off. I think it was just a set back in a career that will be very impressive.

    I think we need to show support becasue all these guys fighting away from home along with Macklin, Barker, M Murray and J Murray, i think were setting a real example to all these champs that dont dare step out their backyards.

    At the4 end of the day their british and we should support them, not critize them.



    Good Luck Guys !!!!!!!

    I hope they all win but it would be quite funny if Khan was to get beat even easier than before. Interesting what excuses he comes up with. My guess will be ''I cant make 140 anymore'' (even though i only came up to 140 a couple of years ago)

    I hope Froch can somehow to do it and I think Ola can win too. Groves has a good chance and so does Khan so all 4 wins are possible.

    If I had to predict it though I would say Khan wins, Groves 'wins' but loses on points, I also think Froch and Ola will lose.

    I really cant stand that. This is world level boxing. There is no shame in losing. Youre competing at something that only a handfull of people in the world can do.

    Just accept the loss and stop being a ***** about it!!

    Yep spot on, I think the fact he's rattled off excuse after excuse has made it more annoying. He airs it all out in open far to much instead of sitting back.

    The infamous twitter account isn't doing him any good tbh..

    It's not as simple as accepting the loss.

    He's a fighter, he has his pride and ambitions. He thought he won, so obviously he'd be hurt about it.

    In any sport, you won't see a loss being accepted as simple as you put it. Losses happen in sport every day. People are sour, excuses come out. It's a way of life and it won't change, ever.

    There's more than one fighter on that list that has made plenty of excuses after a loss.

    I understand what you mean and i agree in a way. But with Khan i dont think its pride and ambitions. I think its more to do with the fact that he wants a big pay day and that loss almost destroyed those hopes. Of course i dont know what he feels inside and i hope im wrong about that. It must be embarrasing to lose and you will question your life choice as a boxer. But he is very talented and he has the tools to go to the top. He just needs to focus more on fighting and less on future big fights. The problem is he is in america surrounded by golden boy and pacquiao. it must be hard to not think about all that.

    His dads a ***** too. Doesnt have anythinjg to do with it. Just wanted to put that out there!!
    :yep
     
  14. Would be great if one of Khan's opponents had a Duran-like streak and just levelled Asif Vali, Shah Khan and Saj.

    Not really fussed who wins the fight, I just want to see them three banged out.

    With all the stuff that came after I think the fact that the Khan/Peterson fight was a pretty entertaining fight often gets overlooked. Hopefully we get more of the same action.

    I hope Froch can pull off a win over Bute, I think he deserves it.
