    ^ Sensible man. Fitz also was in no real danger against top-rated HNN.

    Andy has struggled against very mediocre boxers - repeatedly.
    There is no reason to rule Spike out.

    Ormond added to the July 4th bill, Fitzpatrick-Cruise off. Conlan, Hyland, Ormond, Burnett, Fitzgerald, Collins Jnr: it's shaping up to be a very good card

    Yep, keeping busy. He's cutting down to light-heavy too, that'll be a drop of over 50lbs since he turned pro which is fairly amazing

    Someday you will give the great one the respect he deserves,it can be hard to pump yourself up when you are fighting someone that is average,has happened to Andy in the past,but like hoeses and my beloved greyhounds,you can only go on recent form,and Andy's recent form reads very well thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
    As for BJS,Blackwell and Ryder,not bad but not that good either.

    Would love to see Frampton vs Agbeko, King Kong has just had a nice warm up fight after a long absence. He's durable fought a lot of big names never having been stopped and he's getting on now, would be a good name for Carl to add to his resume and would really make a statement if he put him away.

    I'm actually rather fond of Andy, Dutchie. Seriously! I'm looking forward to seeing him back in action.
    (I don't follow the nags and the only dogs I keep are pets!)
    Don't be one of the many who have slept on Nick Blackwell. He is a serious threat to anyone at middleweight and will be for many a year to come. Ignore him at your peril. All the best. ;)

    Joe Ward in the ring within the next 20mins v 9-0 French pro Mathieu Bauderlique. Win this and his next fight (which would be against Genov [Who he as already beaten] or Pierre St Kennedy of Mauritius) and he qualifies for the Olympices

    Yeah he got tired,very tired but as you said he just seemed to say f##k it iv had enough,
    He showed no ring savvy at all,didnt try to tie up didnt try to slow the pace,didnt get up on the back foot and counter,
    An old boxing man i know told me he felt that when joe dodnt qualify last olympics he wouldnt,he said that a young Joe fought as a fearless young fighter beating egan winning the euros etc and he felt that three years of expectation would weigh heavy on him especially from his background,
    I still hope he is wrong and we get to see Joe in the Olympics because he is a big championship fighter but i cant help but think maybe the old lads was right,

    I assume now he'll try go the traditional route through the 2 qualifying tournaments in 2016 which should suit him better
