FNF tonight: Delvin Rodriquez v Freddy Hernandez

Spicoli — Sat, 25 May 2013 01:24:33 GMT

This should be good TV. I keep thinking Rodriquez will run out of tomorrows but he's settled in at 154 and always gives it an honest go. Rodriquez 27-6-3 (15) v Hernandez 30-4 (20) in main.
Issouf Kinda 16-0 (6) v Chris Howard 15-2-1 (7) in co main

Just noticed we have Womens Softball on..which I don't mind for different reasons but lets hope it ends on time. Jebus #20 ;D

awesome dance movie mash

Frank Warren has moved his Chisora undercard to a completely different date

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:27:31 GMT

Gavin vs. Vassell Will Now Head To Liverpool on June 28 - Boxing News

Warren is gunna go under if this carries on. You can't falsely advertise shows by announcing cards and then just move everything around. Chisora was supposed to fight Wilder in the middle of June, then they move the whole card back because as it turns out, they didn't have Wilder secured. Now they move the card to July, but have moved the entire undercard to June 28th? I hope nobody bought a ticket, because this crap wreaks of a bait and switch. The BBBofC should do something because it isn't the first time this has happened.

Froch vs Kessler Betting

0james0 — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:11:18 GMT

Anyone putting any bets on?

Betfair have Kessler as 7/1 for points win and 7/1 for TKO win. Seems like really good value.

Really don't want to be against Froch though.......

Tyson Vs Ali. I know it's been beat to death, but I need help

drama2g — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:35:21 GMT

I've been writing a piece lately on Tyson vs Ali. I know it's been discussed so much amongst boxing fans that it's probably more annoying now than fun, but I think I really got something here. I've google searched the topic and not one out of hundreds of posts have taken the angle I'm working. I just need a few opinions here first. If you can spare a minute and answer some of these I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

What do you consider Tyson's best performance in the ring?
What do you consider Ali's best performance in the ring?
Do you think Tyson could have beat Sonny Liston?
Which Tyson opponent do you think would have given Ali the most trouble, or possibly even beat him?

I know there was more I wanted to ask, but of course I'm drawing a blank now.

Sturm back on July 6th, Konni Konrad vs. Edison Miranda on the undercard

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 11:15:11 GMT

Boxing News | Felix Sturm will return to the ring on July 6th at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany

Sturm is promising he'll be Middleweight Champion for a 4th time. I'd love to know who he thinks he'll beat. Other than Geale, who is going to go to Germany? I thought he'd move up and go for the Stieglitz fight but he's convinced himself to stay at 160 by the looks of things.

I know nothing of Konni Konrad. Sturm thinks he's a great prospect but a quick look a boxrec tells you he lost to Denis Inkin on points in 2006, then didn't fight again until 2010 and then had another break before fighting again in September 2012. So 2 fights since 2006 and those 2 wins came against guys with losing records. Hehas no other relevent wins on his ledger, so maybe a shot Miranda will be a real test.

Manuel Charr has posted on Twitter to say Haye is going to fight Fury instead of him

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:59:28 GMT

Do you think this is just another Charr publicity stunt to try wind Haye up and promote their fight, or do you suspect there is a bit of truth to this?

Michael Grant vs Franz Botha - Round 12 (2011)

this was 18 months ago and Grant took this long to beat Santa Claus here.

I may be done watching UFC for a while

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 09:54:52 GMT

BT Sport has the rights for UFC as of August in the UK, and they're charging an extra £5 a month than ESPN for the channel. My feeling is I won't be paying it. This, coupled with the fact that the UFC fails to tackle the blatent TRT problem creating unfair advantages in fights, I think I'll refrain from watching for a while.

Larry Olubamiwo has his ban suspended for helping UKAD in the case of another cheat!

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 09:44:21 GMT

World Boxing News - Larry Olubamiwo helps UK Anti-Doping, in return has ban suspended

Craig Windsor Banned Over 3 Years, Doping Violation - Boxing News

Olubamiwo has had 34 months of his ban reduced for assisting in the conviction of Craig Windsor, another steroid cheat. Olubamiwo is now in the process of applying for his boxing licence with the BBBofC again.

I know his information has helped the UK Anti-Doping Commission get another conviction, but surely revealing one other cheat isn't enough to help clean up the sport. He clearly knows more, so they should have asked for more. I can't believe he could be allowed to box again. Boxing is far too lenient when it comes to cheaters.

What do you guys think of this?

Oscar's Cousin Diego De La Hoya is going pro

bzkfn — Fri, 24 May 2013 08:56:02 GMT

Diego De La Hoya, Oscar's Cousin, To Go Pro - Boxing News

Looks like Oscar's cousin Diego De La Hoya is planning to go pro after around 250 amateur fights. He's won 6 national medals and seems to be rated highly. By all accounts he'll likely fight as a Bantam. Anyone seen him fight and have any knowledge/opinion of how far he can go?

Hagler's interview

DavilaJones — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:14:42 GMT

Marvin Hagler: "I will give Duran, Hearns, and Mugabi more respect because these guys came to take away my title. Not like Leonard who ran like a little girl!"

You know it reminds me of Joe Frazier when someone told him that Ali would carry the Olympic torch and he said that "I hope he jumps into the fire alongside it."
I guess when you feel you've been wronged it stays and crystallizes into something hard for some people and for others like Charley Burley, they just ride the wave and shake it off.

Ali-Liston Trash talk backfire

El Kabong — Thu, 23 May 2013 20:34:27 GMT

I had never heard of this until today. Ali was just hounding Liston relentlessly and one day at the craps table Sonny had had enough.....

Usain Bolt ain't got nothing on that....BWAHAHAHAHA

We all knew this would happen

Colinc — Thu, 23 May 2013 14:57:57 GMT

Warren cancels June card he announced and rescheduled for the end of July , I bet chisora ends up fighting harrison lol glad I don't pay for the boxnation channel

Anybody ordered Froch Kessler on Sky via telephone?

Vendettos — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:36:45 GMT
