SSN reporting that Manny Pacquiao is in talks to agree a fight with Lomachenko. Is he mad?!
Is he skint is probably a better question hehe
I think Manny has become the type that needs a tough challenge in order to motivated so hope it comes off and brings the best he has left to offer.
lomachenko's manager has poo poo'd the idea as complete nonsense. stated they are NOT interested in going up 3 weight divisions for the fight...he likened it to pacquiao going up to fight kovalev

...and yet they had no particular qualms about requiring Rigoneaux - realistically a Bantamweight - to step all the way up to Super-Featherweight. Hey-Ho...!

Interesting. Martin Murray at middle weight may not be what he was 3 or 4 years ago but he's certainly no step over, tough as boots and he's been at the top table more than once, will be a test of Billys attitude and new found professionalism.

I like this fight, think BJS will be too strong but should be a quality fight.

So Tyson has been cleared to fight pending a medical, was always some suspicion over whether he would relapse but credit to him, appears he will be in the ring soon.

One for the Marciano fans...

Just switched on the TV and there was a BBC ‘feedback’ type programme on; one where ‘disgrunted of Tunbridge Wells’ writes in to moan about something they’d seen broadcast. Anyway, some woman had written in to complain about a report the BBC had shown about boxing. Not quite sure what the report was about (as I came in half-way through) but she was saying the BBC shouldn’t be ‘promoting’ such violence by giving it airtime, that it was no different from brawling in the street, etc, etc.

Okay, fair enough; freedom of speech and all that...and then I saw the semi-anonymised name of the complainant...

Susie Q!!!!!!

Made me chuckle! hehe

Spence was incredible last night...i expected him to win but not that easy.his angle changes up close were sublime...


I dont kniw eho is next but everyone seems to be calling for the thurman fight.....spence sll day long for me there .

That kid brown on the undercard looked great....and at light heavy turning into one of the most interesting divisions he will be a welcome addition at the top table

Not surprised him and eddie have split....liverpool is a major market for matchroom and davies is despised up here....quite interesting hes joined mtk .....dont think we will be seeing much of him up here in derrys gym for sparring thoughlaugh

I wonder if davies had won against josh taylor he would have been binned off quite so quickly though!

I think he would. He's a jumped up liability isn't he. I know it's all bravado, but he's trying to hard, and as he acts like such a fking moron, he set himself up for a fall in the shape of Taylor.

Shame really as he's obviously a talented boxer...
