    Well that's exciting.

    Have boxing fans become that desperate? A couple good matchups. Most of them I already know the outcome.

    Now that's a fight to be excited about, but will it happen this year? Not sure about that.

    The state of your vcash says you don't.
     
  9. It's great over here in the UK, we are winning world championships for fun and will have two more this weekend.

    The contract has been signed, has it not? Do you know something I don't? I would be majorly ****ed off if the fight doesn't happen this year. Fantastic match-up.

    I don't know more than you, but as long as there is no date set, you never know what can happen.

    You're right. We boxing fans ought to be sceptical. Confident this one will happen though. Still, probably best not to take it as certain given how many times we've been let down in the past.

    I'm just saying, you used it and you lost it all. You're ability to pick winners is suspect.
