boxing tonight
 

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!!

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.

yeah forgot about wright vs hopkins...unsure about that one,could turn into a yawn fest as winkys safety 1st style sometimes is a bit boring.....its down to if hopkins takes the fight to him....or it could turn into a chess game....not got sky so wont be watchin anyway....but if you see it R give us your take on it 2moro

ill be watching em all,,,cmon winky wright

one for the purists winky.....the way he took apart trinidad was special.....hopkins is the bigger man though....interestin one,it'll either be velly good or velly boring......hope its the latter as i cant watch it dancing

not working tmoz(for once) so might stay up or just watch it int morning

Here is a trivia question about last nights boxing , in what way was I connected with last nights bill at Cardiff ?

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

:toot:

Nope it was featherweight dancing

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 ?

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

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:

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

i fuckin knew it....

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!

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

Larry Merchant?

a legend merchant is..... sure he's a war veteran too:rifle:

He might wanna retire!!

off down to liverpool with ferocious later to watch a bill of pro boxing.....one of my gym mates boxin the last lad who beat me.......a few ex ABA champs building up there pro records too.....not alot goin on at the moment as its "close season" at present,so lookin forward to it.......ill post a few pics anda report tommorrow

boxing TR




shit....shit....shit......my mate won well.......oh had a belter kebab on the way home....

Tom, I guess you're not gonna go up against yer mate then!

Baggins...

the highlight of the night was the punch up in the crowd & i even missed that , the kebab was a 9/10 though

boxed him twice as an amateur when he boxed for kirkdale a.b.c, won 1 lost 1.......he's natrualy a bigger lad than me though,but was havin trouble shifting the weight so boxed above my usual weight.....

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

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:

should be a cracker that one.......plenty goin on in england as of sept. too,sometimes these little club shows can be as good as what you'll see on sky as both fighters give their all.......

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

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.

Baggins...:boxing:

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

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

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.

october 6th:boxing:
