I'd be surprised if there was any trouble there...not with all them Sci-Fi types knocking around. Both Calzaghe and Froch attained a degree of success in the Prizefighting ring, it is true, but a properly-applied Vulcan nerve pinch would fcensoredk their scensoredt up good and proper...and they know it!!!

What a lineup!!!!!!
I know, John Barrowman and Bonnie Langford.

We went to see the Evening With Frank Bruno show a few weeks ago, what a spectacularly nice bloke, he had time for everyone even though quite a number in the crowd had clearly been on the pop since early doors, he told a few stories I'd not heard before as well. The comedian and host guy who does the chat with Frank was a bit hit and miss but overall it was very good.

Every self respecting boxing fan should have a signed calzaghe!!.....

In other news I've just taken delivery of the actual left glove that Gerald mcclellan used to pumell Julian Jackson to defeat with in 1993....my usual taste is old signed items ..the older the better...but this opportunity to get hold of an actual fight used glove was too good to miss...I'll stick a photo up when I get a minute

I love Crolla but outside of landing a big shot, he is getting thoroughly outboxed here. Linares is looking sharp and landing almost at will.

Linares boxing beautifully at the moment. Unless Crolla can land heavy and shake Linares up then this fight is only going one way.

Great round and heart from Crolla. Linares still sharp but looked a little tired too. Not over just yet...

Was a good fight to watch. Linares put on a master class and fought the perfect fight. Fair play to Crolla he showed massive heart and even after the knockdown.

Anyone else think Gallagher is losing the plot ? Morison should of been pulled out of the fight imo as he was taking a battering , then in the crolla fight tried to pull him. Tactics didn't look any different from the first fight from crolla either. Linares really is a smooth operator though , was punching at will and never looked like losing.

What a tragic end to a boxing career. I was amazed at how he utterly battered Benn, but then the damage started to show (looked drunk, hanging gum shield out etc) and then that was the end of his career.

Being pessimistic, how can you be very confident that it is THE glove worn on the night?
