Probably Sky...would be very surprised if it wasn't PPV.

I want Manny to win, but I predict Mayweather by unanimous decision

[tuscaneer]

....I'll believe it when I see them on opposite sides of the ring and the bell goes.......until then I've got a horrible feeling there'll be some bullst reason for it not to happen. ...

I reckon Murray will last into the last third of the fight.
As much as I don't want it to happen. .i can see Arthur Abraham being fully focused and stopping smigga late

Agreed on all counts.

I think it will be a wide points win for Mayweather. If it really happens!

I was thinking the same...but an anticlimax... pacman trying to get on the inside and mayweather jabbing and tying up all night

Maybe I'm being a tad optimistic here but for a little while I've felt Abraham has been living on borrowed time as a genuine top-tier fighter. I daresay that's why he took the Smith fight in the first place - probably on paper one of the safest vaguely credible match-ups available to him, so a chance to eek out his time as a belt-holder just a little longer. And he only just managed that. Maybe Smith did catch him a little by surprise first time around but it's just possible that it wasn't a completely false reflection of Abraham's level now. Of course, it's just as possible that the last fight saw Smith fighting out of his skin as it seemed to be a now-or-never opportunity, and he won't be able to reach quite the same level this time around. But I'm hopeful that Smith does at least have a slim, but real, opportunity to go one better this time around.

Ultimately, though, my money would be on a repeat outcome only with more realistic scorecards this time. Ahh, if only it were in Liverpool...!

By the way, you see that photo of the piece of paper with the squiggles on it Amir posted above...if that should show up at your mate's memorabilia shop, give me a shout. I'd give it a new home for a hundred quid...might even go to one and a half if he puts it in a nice frame for me!

[tuscaneer]

I'm with you on Abraham fella......well past his best but I heat they're talking about a big unification with Sturm for later in the year. He will be determined to get that paycheck! ! Of course if he loses to Smith it's all out the windows. ...

I reckon you might be a copper or two short with yer bid there for that contract!!!! Can you imagine what that would be worth!!!

[Birkin1932]

I fancy Smith, I think he will try and out work him. Has Abraham lost a stone in a week again? Smith comfortably inside weight at the weigh in.

Smith is no massive talent, however he is in the right place at the right time I think and he is dedicated, fit and hungry as fk

I hope the lad wins and gets a good pay cheque next

[MissChief]

Only about 6 years late. Will still make them a lot of money.

[tuscaneer]

Poor start. Pricey holding his left over his midriff in close again. And we know what happened in the first Thompson fight. This opponent is st. He should be walking him down and opening g up...

[Yiliterate]

Well, Price's right hand seems to have come through its first test. Apart from that, both he and we won't have learnt a great deal from that.

You can always count on the British to respect the other countries national anthem

[jules_s]

Looking forward to Murray vs Golovkin here

[Welshbeef]

Abraham chap looks. Very good.

[Yiliterate]

So...how many rounds was it before the first "OH FK OFF, JIM" was drawn from your lips?!?!

[Welshbeef]

This match is great not watched boxing in a long time enjoying this - decent and both really going for it great entertainment.

[BlackST]

Looks a different class, Abrahams does.

[Welshbeef]

Paul is trying really hard good for him.

Rip that belt away from him now 6 mins to go.
