Looks like cotto is being rewarded for getting beat by trout by getting a fight with Canelo. The padding out of his record with over the hill names is getting a bit ridiculous

I had Cotto 4 rounds to 2 after 6, after that he lost every single round on my card. He has had a hard career and I think that he doesn't have the fuel in the tank anymore. He has had some big money fights, hopefully he will still be liquid and will choose to retire sooner rather than later.

Congratulations to Trout, he has a great name and has announced himself to the big time.

Yeah Twas a good fight, you just sense that Cotto has very little left to give especially when you hear him talking about the prospect of retirement before the match. Good fight but you sense Trout could go onto big things if he plays his cards right, was really impressed by him.
 
There is a lot of strong speculation in America that Juan Manuel Marquez has been doping ahead of his bout with Manny Pacquiao tomorrow night, with Freddie Roach and some journalists essentially openly accusing him of doping.

The word is that Marquez is looking like an absolute beast, displaying muscle size and definition far beyond anything that he has ever shown before, at the age of 38 this is highly suspicious in itself. More incredibly he has been using a notorious Mexican PED dealer as his strength and conditioning coach. Angel Heredia admitted to supplying Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and Justin Gatlin with steroids, EPO and human growth hormone in the past.

I think that I might watch this fight now as it looks like Marquez is intent on knocking Manny out.

Alright Box'tards, would you go this then?

I have the possibility of going with a mate of mine & some other lads. As a night out it will be a good laugh I know that.

What about the card though, any good?

He is going on the VIP package & £150 seems like a lot even though there is a free bar & something to eat.

Decided to go with this.

Mostly because I haven't seen my mate for ages. Last time we tried to go out at Xmas his dad passed away a few days before, so we obviously cancelled.

It's going to be a monumental piss up if nothing else, also the seats are right by the ring so I'm hoping I'm not going to get spatted with blood.
 
Kessler vs. Magee tonight. Around me they are thinking Kessler will knock out Magee in round 7,8 or 9. But they are Kessler fanbois. Any predictions?
 
Great comeback performance by Darren Barker with a brutal 4th round knockout, Eddie Hearn says one more fight in march and a world title fight next summer.
 
Surely Froch V Kessler has to happen, is there anybody that doesn't want to see that fight.
 
Programme's at 2am, I guess main event will be about 4am. Catch a bit of cricket ahead of that. EDIT: nutjob are off and running
 
The Gamboa fight should be well worth watching. He is one of the fastest fighters out there with a flashy style.

:lol:

What a tit 50 Cent is, totally hijacking his fighters ring walk by coming into the ring on a wire and singing in the ring while '50 Cent' flashed over the images of Gamboa coming into the ring..
 
Man every time I watch these USA based fights there always seems to be some woman completely murdering the national anthem, Spangled Banner, with some silly over the top vocals, stretching it all about for about 3 weeks. Just get on with it FFS.

Fight is started in cased you didn't get that. :D
 
Those doping allegations against Marquez are going to come out again after this fight. Marquez had never dropped Pac in three previous fights but here he is showing truly incredible power.
 
He probably just ended Pacmans career there.

No Pacman/Money :'(
