    This has the makings of a great fight - both dirty fighters with history, both can bang, both know what is out there for the winner - this has brawl smeared all over it like blood and snot. Enjoy.

    Adios.

    End of the 4th now, I think Clottey will grind him down and stop him late. 10th or 11th round.

    Clottey can't miss with the lead right. You'd think Judah would have learnt his lesson all those years ago when KT flattened him.

    Just come to bed following this! Was a good fight, I fancied Clottey from the start and thought Zab might be past it, but surprise surprise - he bottled it again!

    Zab v Hatton - Zab starts crying about round 6 and goes home having had enough!

    i stayed up for it.

    i knew judah was getting a pasting so that's gotta be worth staying up for. :lol:

    i was impressed with peterson on the undercard.

    can't see amir khan beating him. :roll:

    Thats a good few times I've seen him now; he looks really good. His speed, chin and stamina are excellent. He doesn't appear to have great power, but he'd still have enough to take out china-chin.

    A bit perturbed by Bunce's comment though: "I don't think he is as good as he looks". Please explain Bunce; apart from the power (and maybe a few problems on defence) he looks a really exciting addition to an already packed division.

    yeah what was that ludicrous comment he come out with.

    style over substance. :patsch

    in what f*cking way buncey? :huh

    he's got that excellent tight defence and every punch is thrown with good intentions. :bbb

    someone like amir khan is style over substance.

    all that flurrying he does and leaky defence.

    peterson has a complete pro style.

    the complete opposite of style over substance. :roll:

    Over your side of the water I have some interest in Newcastle United, I was still young enough during the original Keegan days and that type of football was simply great to watch so since then they've been my English team but in truth their success or failure has little consequence on my life.

    Over here I would support Cork City who are the nearest fully professional side. Their the club who Kevin Doyle, Shane Long, Roy O'Donavan, George O'Callaghan and Alan Bennett all moved to England from. They currently have Irish International Joe Gamble and a guy who will probably be playing in England within a year or two Dave Mooney.
    Mooney was the top scorer in the league with a team that got relegated last year and is top scorer in the league at the moment this year, he's expected to attract a fee of around €1,000,000 and some top Championship sides and lower Premiership teams are interested in him.

    However I play for my own Local side(Nenagh AFC, the reason I couldn't stay up) who have recently become a top amateur side in the country. If we play to potential this season we could very easily find ourselves playing Cork City in the Munster Senior Cup. We won 3-0 today :D

    So that's much me as far as football goes.

    Clottey was crap. Zab was clowning him most of the time, the size difference was just too much in the end. A guy weighing 148 vs a middleweight.

    Bring back same day weigh ins.

    But Zab chose to weigh in at 143, as he wanted the speed advantage.
    It wasn't a bad idea, I thought Zab fought pretty well, but Clottey's lead right was catching him constantly.

    Yeah, but if we had same day weigh ins Clottey would have weighed 150-152 MAX whilst Zab was 148 on fight night.

    Of course Clottey would be completely weak, but that is because he shouldn't be fighting at 147.
