    Meanwhile in the really big fight in Bristol last night my lad Archie gets a unanimous decision against a lad from Cardiff :)
    Does anyone else have kids who box? It can be hard work watching sometimes!

    Watched the Kell Brook fight last night which was good, although the farce was that lad Anthony Joshua fighting some guy they must have picked out the pub.

    While Joshua might be a title contender, the building up of a reputation by fighting no marks is embarrassing(even Joshua looked embarrassed in the post fight interview). I understand they don`t want him to fight against real quality opponents but last night was frankly a joke match-up.

    Watched Golovkin from last night, guy has to take a step up in class now. He has battered everyone around.

    Hopefully he gets his wish and gets a shot at Martinez, who he will also batter.

    Doubt it, as long as SKY etc continue to sign him up, he'll keep taking fights as long as his big lump of an * can climb into the ring.

    The fact this guy can still pick up lucrative fights shows how pish the heavyweight division is.

    It is looking more and more like Haye never wanted to fight Fury.
    Twice now he has cancelled the fight.

    Despite being a Haye fan it does look like he is a shitebag now.

    Fury should move on and Haye should retire rather than string everyone along.

    Never realised how much of a * Groves is until this fight with Froch, all his trash talk will do him no good next Saturday when he's lying KO'd in the ring

    Same.
    I taught he was alright until i seen him on ringside a few weeks ago.
    He made a complete fool of himself, staring at Froch every time he was talking, it will be excellent when he does get KO'd by Froch.

    Big night of boxing on Saturday with Froch vs Groves and Pacquiao vs Rios.

    Surprised to see how much Groves has got under Froch's skin recently, he really seems to have him riled up. I'm torn on this fight, on one hand I think Froch goes through him, on the other hand I think Groves has the skill and power to cope with Froch and make it a very, very close fight.

    If Pacquiao even has 25% of his best left then he leaves Rios in a * mess on his way to stopping him in the second half of the fight.

    I expect Froch to win comfortably on points, I think all of the trash talk and SKY polished advertising is just to punt more pay-per-view. You can get Groves at around 6-1 right enough, slightly tempting. :87:

    Manny will probably stop Rios mid-fight.
