    HBO coverage starts at 3am. Spinks fight not televised. First up is Cloud/Johnson followed by the main event.

    This, for me, is just a showcase for Devon. He'll be able to show us what he can do. A stoppage will be really impressive.

    Should be staying up. Will watch the Shobox card from yesterday now to keep myself awake.

    I'm going for Alexander to stop Kotelnik late through acclumination (I can never remember how to spell that ****ing word!!) of damage.

    I'm in but might need an hours power nap.

    I'm taking Cloud & Devon both on points. Kotelnik doesn't take too many clean punches with that defence

    I probably will but with the UFC being on HD might be too tempting, Cloud i think will punish Johnson too much activity and too many hard punches. He had woods in trouble a few times so there is something on them :lol:

    Looking forward to seeing Alexander bring back his straight right to the body thats a real sickener of a punch, can see it opening Kotelnik up and leaving space for some punishment up top.

    Not really interested in Spinks Vs K9 although it could be a good one i just don't think K9 can hang with Spinks unless the weight issue has really took its tole on him.

    i'm amazed tavoris cloud hasn't got a nickname, just think of the possibilities....:think

    tavoris 'cumulonimbus' cloud

    'the overcast' tavoris cloud

    he could at least have a silver lining on his boxing shorts :-(

    with the right marketing this kid could be ****ing huge :deal

    As Ishy said this a showcase fight for Devon, i dont think Devon will stop Kotelnik, but if he does then thats impressive.

    :lol: I might go for the big 42 inch HD TV rather than the 19 inch grainy as **** stream and download the fights tomorrow.

    Not sure if its just me but im not as interested in boxing as much this year, not too many cracking fights maybe its just a slow year. Not really been very excited for too many fights anyone else feeling that way?

    I think i have at least 30 stone of fat shagging against my wall at the minute, think i might go throw up now.
