Finally- interesting, big-name fights and fighters return!

****atsch:twisted:. I haven't heard that until you just said:-(. That is terrible- why do these things always get left so late in the day? As much as I love boxing, I ****ing hate the litigious back-stabbers as well. How is it possible to hate a sport you love at the same time?

'Yeah, we're delaying and most probably calling off the FA Cup final this year, lads, because Wenger wants to play another team in the final- don't worry about the fans looking forward to it and the other team that deserved to be in the final- they don't matter'. Oh alright.

Only in boxing would this **** happen:|atsch.

 

Campillo-Shumenov might be back on. Hopefully it is.

 

Didn't really want to create a new thread so I'll stick it in here. Some quotes from the Campillo-Shumenov presser. It's definately still on:good:

'Beibut Shumenov: “I’m not into saying too many words before a fight. I’ve prepared well and I’m very happy. I’m proud to be representing my country and fighting for the WBA world title. In this case, I want to thank Gabriel for taking the fight and giving me this opportunity. I also want to thank him for coming here to fight in my country.”

Chingis Shumenov (co-promoter): “We are very proud that we are organizing this WBA World title fight in Kazakhstan to showcase our beautiful country to the world. We just started our company in 2007 and now we are promoting a World title fight. We hope to make history with our event on Saturday.”

Gabriel Campillo: “I want to thank everyone for treating me so well in this country. I think Beibut is very smart fighter. I think it’s going to be a very interesting fight.”

Sampson Lewkowicz (Campillo’s promoter): “The WBA has fully sanctioned Saturday night’s fight between my champion, Gabriel Campillo, and a very tough challenger, Beibut Shumenov. Any claims regarding Campillo, other than Sampson Boxing being his exclusive promoter, are totally false. He will be fighting Shumenov this Saturday night and together we’re putting Kazakhstan on the boxing map.”

Gayrat Ahmedov: “When I started boxing professionally, I didn’t have a promoter until 2009, when I signed with KZ Event Productions. I’m very happy because they’re giving me an opportunity to fight for titles. They’re really looking out for us. I wish Beibut good luck.”'
