    Well actually no, I think more people would enjoy the well written and constructed interview with de Mori. In fact I reckon they'll enjoy it so much they'll want to send the author money and other gifts.

    Are there any articles/Newspaper stories saying this fight is on or are you just taking the info from Boxrec? Big Danny shouldn't be fighting any more and the news that he could be carrying on is very sad.

    Didn't Williams just retire? He said win or lose in his latest fight he would retire after. He lost and now isn't he pursuing a career as a bodyguard?

    The temptation of a quick holiday to the antipodes is just too great to resist.

    This fight should not be sanctioned. Williams has been terrible in his last 5 or 6 fights.

    He ko'd Tyson, but has deteriorated scarily recently.

    He also Ko'd Meehan in less than 30 seconds including the count back when Danny could fight.

    its said that you never lose your 'punch'.

    i guess its true to a degree. because a 90yo cant punch like he could when he was 26..

    BUT.......i bet williams still has his punch, as he isnt that faded, he just better land it early...

    True , the last thing a banger loses is his bang but because of Danny's fondness of all things CAKE if Alex weathers the initial 35 second onslaught he should be home and hosed pre third Stanza .

    I just seen Danny Williams name removed from the schedule on another boxing site I hope the fight is still going ahead.

    Glad to see Danny has been removed - he looked aweful in his last fight against Chisora. He really didnt want to be there. So unless the money was good theres no point travelling to australia to get thrashed.

    I just want to see Alex fight someone international even if it was a pretty safe fight like Williams because you can always pick the winners of the MUN DINE under cards because it is always one way traffic including this main fight

    Alex will step up but it will be a pointless exercise if the guy he is fighting is shot ,Owen Beck is being touted by Joe Cool ,we all know Owen ain't the fighter he once was but i see this as a harder task for Leapie than Williams so he is moving in the right direction . :good
