I'd avoid Milton Keynes then if I were you...there's a certain swine who shall remain nameless who just happened to bump into quite a few boxers last time he visited that place... rage
i've had a great idea fella!!!!..........what about i copy my photos of all the "celebs " from milton keynes......send them to you....and you can simply photoshop your grid over mine! HEY PRESTO!!!!!! AND IT'S LIKE YOU NEVER MISSED THE EVENT, YAY!
I have an even better idea. Invent a time machine and invite us to it.

Can't believe you left us out, I still shake my head in disapproval at the very thought.

so who have we all got this weekend?


canelo stops cotto late

murray outpoints abraham

crolla squeaks past perez/ or maybe the other way around!
Agreed on Canelo.

Murray needs to stop Abraham, or he loses (controversially too). He isn't getting a decision over there.

Perez will will comfortably.

Two other fights to keep your eyes open for at Bantamweight...

Lee Haskins vs Randy Caballero for the IBF world title. Slightly worried that the occasion might get to Haskins but, if he's on song, he skillful enough and unconventional enough to give anyone headaches...really hope he can do himself justice.

Jason Booth vs Ryan Burnett for the British title. Jason Booth's best days are a long way behind him and has been 'retired' for quite some time so not expecting much from him. However, the attraction is Ryan Burnett - he's trained by Adam Booth, who is adamant he's the most talented fighter he's ever been involved with...and given he's currently got Eubank jr and Andy Lee in his stable (as well as Haye and Groves previously) that's a pretty bold statement to make in respect of a fighter who has yet to win a major senior title either as an amateur or pro! Looking forwrad to seeing him... smile
Forgot about the ha skins fight!! Coolio.
Heard a lot about Burnett but not seen him yet tbh.certainly comes with a seal of approval with booth there!

I suppose the story of crolla/perez is how seriously or otherwise perez took the first fight. Crolla won't improve on his last performance

Pretty much your thoughts when you saw that event, and had a brief idea "perhaps I could invite my mates, actually on second thoughts they can fk off. I'll send them pictures later"

Crolla can do it, that gym must be a force of positive vibes right now, he just needs to stick to a game plan, rise above the occasion and trust his trainer.

Murray, huge ask against a very canny and experienced operator - fingers crossed.

Just heard the Haskins fight is off! Apparently, Caballero came in...wait for it...5lbs overweight!!!! That means he wouldn't even have made the Super-Bantamweight limit, let alone Bantamweight! Frankly it's staggering...when Paul Smith missed the weight by 4lbs in his fight with Andre Ward, that was a lot...so 5lbs for someone who's supposed to be at 118lbs is bloody ridiculous!!!

Anyway, screw the salad-dodger; Lee Haskins is now the fully-fledged IBF world champion!!! It also paves the way for some massive domestic fights with the likes of the McDonnell twins and previous belt-holders Paul Butler and Stuey Hall. Great start to a top weekend of boxing (though not quite the way you'd have hoped)...

Hope Murray can win, he deserves it, Abraham is starting to look like Ali's 'the Mummy' , bit flat footed. I think Murray gave a good account of himself against GGG & will be able to take what Abraham's has to offer...I hope so.

Abraham on top here despite that good right hand from Murray in the last round. Surprised he didn't really capitalise on it but maybe he doesn't have it in the tank at this stage.

fk sake. Murray will surely go down as the best boxer to never win a title. Robbed again in my eyes, on top of being robbed by Sturm and Martinez.

Nah, he lost that. He knew that he had to rip the title from the champion and he certainly didn't do that.

Froch on Crolla: Usually the guy who comes close in the first fight gets blasted out in the second so I'm really pleased for him.


I love Carl don't get me wrong but he just can't help himself can he hehe
