    Actually those top 5 fights have got some interest in all of them and comes in handy for me that night. The thing is I'm not risking gettin tickets until mid afternoon on the 20th! Whats the latest a bill can get pulled?!?

    Is Chisora definitely off then? If so, this business of fights being advertised by this particular promoter whilst strong rumours have been doing the rounds for a while is starting to take the ****.

    I would say they are ALL subject to change other than our very own Clev the pleb..future hall of famer currently putting it all on the line against the best there is. ;)

    Thats the trouble you just can't trust what's listed until the day of the card and you see who enters the bloody building. And tickets sales are not likely to have been through the roof one wouldn't think. But maybe this would be one farce too many if this got pulled now tho.

    Just noticed yesterday it'll be nearly a year to the day that the Krasniqi fight was due to take place at the Albert Hall. (28th April 2012)

    This big fight/Hopins bollox sounds all too familiar another year on too

    dont get the all the aggro Clev the guy was an undefeated british,commenwealth and European champion before he won his world title as they say he done it the old fashioned way, Is it the fact every title he has ever won was vacant, or he wears a headband or the fact this will be is 6th world title fight and the only only fighter anyone had heard of was Bellew and thats only because he was british

    Think he's suffering due to the W*rren/Hearn rumpus and the fact that everyone is pretty familiar with the way W*rren does things now. W*rren has been great at getting fighters through domestic and Euro levels but then when they get the WBO strap he doesn't want to share the spoils with anyone or take risks away from home. He has been consistently slating Hearn for risking fighters in the States etc, but then the likes of Hatton left him after W*rren was happy just coining it in at the MEN.

    Like you said nobody can have a go at Clev for his run up to the Bellew fight where he'd fought mostly on the road wherever W*rren put him. However, 18 months on from the Bellew fight and with just Karpency and Hawk over that period it is starting to follow old routines, only not so well as in the past with other fighters.

    Nathan Cleverly vs Robin Krasniqi
    Dereck Chisora vs Pala
    Liam Walsh vs Scott Harrison
    Yaqub Kareem vs Paul Butler
    Frank Buglioni vs Eder Kurti
    Mitchell Smith vs Abdul Rasheed
    John Thain vs TBA
    Joe Murray vs TBA
    Gary Corcoran vs TBA
    Steve O'Meara vs TBA
    Joey Taylor vs TBA
    Miles Shinkwin vs TBA
    Matty ***an vs TBA

    If this goes down as currently listed then it's a decent line-up and certainly worth a £40 ticket. Cleverley vs Krasniqi is alot better fight then people are making out, infact i'd even go as far as to say it's a 60-40 fight in Clev's favour and i wouldn't be surprised if Krasniqi won. Walsh vs Harrison is a great undercard fight and could even be the British fight of the year.

    Unfortunately the British Eastside forum seems to have 25% who live to slag off Frank, 25% who live to slag off Amir Khan and 25% who love to kiss Hearns ass at every opportunity. Thankfully there's 25% who are level headed and see through the BS.
