    Something tells me they won't go all out if they allow any pros to switch back.. you know something like 15 fights or under..


    Tyson Fury has expressed interest if they allow it for 2016..

    But then again.. if the papers are anything to go by.. looks like it's gonna happen for 2016..


    It's not a certainty yet..

    I don't think it will happen for this Olympics, maybe the following but I just think in terms of planning they are cut very short when they decide on it 4 months or so before the games start

    You got some old and new faces in there.. Julio Cesar La Cruz and Joe Ward.. 2 guys who beat Mekhontsev.. the guy who busted up Anthony Joshua.. and Filip Hrgovic.. and of course Joe Joyce.. but haven't seen him qualify yet..

    I'm guessing it's not happening.. but it would be great if the heavyweight champion entered..

    Corn on the Cob? 2014, IMO. Dash of lime, bag of sandpaper.

    I'd have said Tuesday, but then I got told it was the paper's problem.

    Then again, shoe-strings; at what height are they acceptable for a discount? 7.30pm, IMHO.

    Durka Hurka!

    The 15 fight rule would be great.. it currently exists with an APB contract.. but I dunno if you can have WBA/WBC/IBF ranked fights with it.. don't think you can as it exists..

    It just means the transition would be slower.. to suit the technical amateur.. only in 8/9 extra rounds though.. "amateur" is worldwide.. since they don't use headguards anyway..


    British Boxing is amateur compared to World Boxing.. whether it's 3 or 4 rounds or 12 rounds..
