i do worry about the direction bxing is going in i hope that we do start geting back to the days where the best fought the best. there is 2 much obsession with protecting a 0 on your record in the UK. I hope the current crop of olympic hopefulls are tested against each other before they get to 35-0.lets see de-gale and groves for the lonsdale belt for example i also agree with the football mentality with the hatton supporters , i travelled to the floyd fight and hoped to get into some good boxing debate and soak in the atmosphere ( now i know i'm not an expert but i do appreciate the finer side of the big fights ). Everyone i spoke to just said 'floyds gone get ****ed by a body shot , walking along singing a song etc etc etc '
I have never had the chance to do the Vegas thing and but almost went for Hattons last couple of fights there. To be honest though i was put off by the thought of 30,000 odd footy fans travelling and now think i will save my first Vegas vist for a fight weekend not involving a British fighter.
spot on mate thats exactl what i'm waiting to do, once we've got the wedding and birth of our child out of the way
the trouble with kids is they tend to take up all your time, thank god for Sky+ and that pause button as i'm sure you are about to find out.
i might see you vegas one day and we can compare nappy changing tactics. Serious good luck, not that you will need it as its a great experience thats becoming a father not going to Vegas although i'm sure that's not bad to
Yeah were looking forward to it mate. Just trying to get as much sorted as we can now to prepare. and yeah i'll defo make the vegas trip (One day ) Cheers again
We've gotten unlucky. Biggest heavyweight fight for years and the return of the P4P king versus the P4P number 2 have both fallen through. As Brits we have had to deal with the destruction of Hatton and the retirement of Calzaghe. Khans fight has been delayed and we genuinely all want to see if he is championship material. Then after all this bad news, we have Froch. Our glimmer of hope. War with Pascal, war with Taylor and looking set to war again with Bute. Thanks Carl.
Is there a date for the Bute fight yet Carl? He looked a little vulnerable late on in his last fight:good
