    Since we both knew that 192 was made at the first weigh in, it begs the question...

    Why didn't you take the bet?

    A seat in the stands would have been an upgrade. If you had looked hard enough during the event I'm sure you would have seen me.

    Thanks for finally coming clean Leon.:good

    I would be great to sit next to you at the fights Leon. We would have some great chats about plenty of different sports.

    How do you see Cotto-Margarito going down ?

    That'd be great Francis, I'm sure it would be a whole new experience seeing fight live for once and not on tv. Let me know when you mum let's you out after curfew next. Make sure she pins the return ticket home to your shirt as we wouldn't want you to get lost.

    He actually weighed in at 185 and after the weigh in he had to waddle like a duck and hop and down on the one spot for two hours. It was all in the contract, I'm surprised your sources didn't tell you this.

    :lol: Do you know if there were any minor variations between the press weigh in and the real one?

    IBO is actual classsed a a world title :patsch but scoring a century in grade cricket is not a test century so it's a little difference..... don't mean to split hair but this would be better.... It's like Jason Gillespie scoring 200 against Zimbabwe

    It's a test century but not against any meaninful organisation and doesn't get recongnised as a great performance............ IBO is much the same

    Your 192 pound limit story was neither clever nor funny and not a single person bought it :patsch

    the IBF was lowly rated once. now its as legit as the WBA or the WBC. its only time, and an associations financial success that makes it become 'relevant'.

    you may find in 20 years the IBO is as 'respected' as the WBC....

    The only sanctioning body with unbiased computerised rankings. The Champions of Integrity.:deal
    seriously it's above the WBF or WBU but it's a 2nd tier belt.
    Darchinian-Perez was for 3rd spot in the Bantamweight tourny but the winner still got an IBO belt.

    that IBF title Fenech won was very average. Against an 8-1 guy I think it was who won as a vacant title.
