So guys...how do we think Anthony Ogogo will get on tonight?!

[Yiliterate]

Speaking of Ogogo, love this photo Amir Khan has been posting on social media:



It's funny - Khan has been a pro so long it's easy to forget he's part of that generation!

st! you think of campbell as a total new boy and khan as the been-there seen-it knarly old pro!!

apparently roy jones missed his flight to the uk on saturday instead choosing to follow up a cruiserweight shot against the guy who just beat huck ......i know i was wrestling with going or not but a pal of mine who is old chums with tony moran had given me tony's mobile number ....he was up for doing a bit of sponsorship with my company logo on his shorts...full job with a meet and greet with roy and all the trimmings.....i was all up for it until i saw that roy was a no show!

Another great win for Jamie McDonnell last night. Kameda was being touted as the future of the division, so to go to his (adopted) back yard and successfully defend his WBA title not once, but twice, is an absolutely outstanding achievement! I thought he boxed very sensibly behind his jab, making maximum usage of his height and reach advantage.

As one of the commentators pointed out, McDonnell was stripped of the IBF belt because of promotional wrangling and Kameda was forced to vacate his world title when the WBO refused to sanction the unification with McDonnell; so you can argue McDonnell could actually be holding 3 belts now!

fking great result!! sorry fella i've only just seen your text now....i have that many unread texts/emails i sometimes miss stuff.....got sky fitting all the new dishes/boxes etc. today so i'll be back watching telly by tonight. 2 weeks of fawlty towers dvd's wears a bit thin after a while......

i've gone from being a bit "meh" about mcdonell early on to being a great admirer of his dogged determination. he's turned into a very hard AND skillful operator now

In case anyone's interested, Mayweather-Berto is being shown on BoxNation. I think I'll be staying up for the Groves fight, then Sky+ing the rest. Try as I might, just can't summon up the enthusiasm for the main event. A pity really...
