boxing tonight

[Thebomb]

few good uns on tonight,enzo maccarinelli vs wayne braithwaite for enzo's WBO cruizer belt.....frenchman m'bye vs gavin rees for m'bye's WBA light-welter belt and alex arthur vs gogoladze for the interin WBO super feather, rees is unbeaten but a samall light welter at only 5 ft 3.....i expect him to get the ears boxed off him....arthurs opponent is unknown to me...but enzo v braithwaite is gonna be a tear up between 2 heavy hitters.....braithwaithe is 22-2 with 18 ko's and have 22 wins inside 2 rounds between them!!! dont blink!!

[ROLAND]

Macaranelli v Braithwaite should be a humdinger, both can ko and both can be knocked down.
Plus Winky Wrights fight live on SKY later so another good nights boxing.

were you boxing an 8 rounder at bantam weight???

[ROLAND]

were you boxing an 8 rounder at bantam weight???

:toot:

Nope it was featherweight dancing

[Thebomb]

do i get half a point for that???

[ROLAND]

do i get half a point for that???

Nope, this is a serious trivia question, in what way was there a connection between me and the boxing last night at Cardiff ?

[Thebomb]

ok....were you there??? otherwise this could go on all night

[mack]

The fighters on the Cardiff bill, if they continue boxing :boxing: into their 50's, will have the same degree of scrambled brains as you, Roland, have right now? What do I win? :cheers:

[ROLAND]

Nope, the MC last night was the actor who played Stewpot in Grange Hill who was Rolands best mate apart from the little black girl that is dancing

[Thebomb]

i fuckin knew it....

[irishmic]

42 years old, and Hopkins still can fight the big fight, upset, an excellant fighter,(many boxers avoid). Just think Bomb you have many more years to bang around in the ring!

[BigBadSi]

who`s that boring old cunt on HBO who interviews the fighters afterwards he takes an eternity to get a sentance out?

[irishmic]

Larry Merchant?

[Thebomb]

[ferocious]

Baggins...



he's boxed him twice baggins , won 1 & lost 1 both at amatuer but i'd say sean is too heavy for tom now

[Bilbobaggins]

I love to watch boxing live, even the smaller bouts, always a good night out, but because i am normally at football, I don't get as much chance as I would like to go to them.
Just making enquiries about Las Vegas in December for the Hatton fight, got a quote of £541 flights and 3 nights accomodation at one of the MGM Grand hotels, which is apparently where the fight is being held.
Think I might book up later on.

Baggins...:boxing:

done the vegas thing for the boxing a few times baggins & that price is good , the night before the fight you'll find a show a a lesser known casino like the orleans i've see me pay only 20-30 quid ringside & i've seen juan marquez , kelly pavlik & sat next to michael buffer , joe cortez & floyd mayweather snr , great atmosphere at the small shows also... the big fights are a rip-off i paid £800 for de la hoya v vargas & i wasn't even on the floor... i think hatton/mayweather is £200or£300 ringside

[ROLAND]

I would imagine Hatton v Mayweather will be £500 plus for decent seats as they know they is going to be big demand.
Did you get a picture of Michael Buffer F ?

I'll pay that no problem, will be worth it.
But I won't be able to see any shows the night before, I arrive there 9-45 pm on the Friday if I get that flight.

never owned a camera then F , what a smile he's got though i was blinded by the dazzle off his teeth(he's a fanny magnet too)..... correct it was the barrera/pacquio fight that was 2-300 ringside

[ROLAND]

I wonder if he does his 'Letttttttttttttttssssssssss get ready to rummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmble' when he gets the bird in bed dancing

[penetrator]

Just been chatting to an Filipina I've known for years and she told me Manny Pacquiao is fighting Barrera again in oct.

The Punching Pinoy has been 1 of my favourite fighters of the last 5 years or so. Just a shame he never got to bash up princess naseem, would of paid good money to see that.
