BRITISH RBRs! Amir Khan v Gairy St Clair and Michael Jennings v Ross Minter

They'd sooner fight Romanov for the European than Thaxton? :-\

Although it must be odds-on Khan fights a mexican road sweeper on the Calzaghe-Hopkins undercard.

CC for the RbR.

good win for khan i guess, maybe could have been abit different if sinclairs hooks werent so wide but meh. He had a decent guard n put his combos together well, some nice upercuts, seemed abit like target practice with sinclair not throwing back too much, though he was physically outmatched by a fair way. warren says hes after the european title next, n the commentators brought up katsidis. Anyone think if he was serious about not being finished they might try and get morales in the ring late 08/ early 09 in an attempt to get a big name on his record?

OMG guys, tonight has been an unmitigated disaster, and I really don't think things could have gone any worse if I'd chopped my dick off and fed it to a stray dog whilst drunk.

OK, in the build up to the fight, it seems everything is going fine, no problems. Lee's putting in a shift on the RBR for Jennings v Minter and Jennings does nicely.

Then, I try and connect my parents' broadband cable to my laptop, thinking all i had to do was plug it in and it would work. Yeah right. 20 minutes later, and I try and give someone a heads up on here, hopefully Lee, that I was in a spot of bother. I'm still trying to connect on my laptop and getting things working when the fight starts. 30 seconds into round 1, everything goes black. I swear loudly. Then I wonder what the f**k I'd done. Ran to the fusebox, tripping over my laptop wire on the way, and got the torch on. Looking in, all is well. Look out the window, the whole village is black and its a power cut. I swear again. Then I wonder what to do. Look around my room for a battery powered radio. Look at the pouring rain outside, realise its the only option. Run to the car, turn the key, and tune the radio. This is in the middle of round 4, and apparently Khan is doing well.

8 rounds later, and Khan is celebrating his 120-108 x 3 victory, and I'm frozen in the car, and I go back inside. Nothing to do except go to bed. 15 minutes ago, everything comes back on, and I have to get up to switch everything off. Can't sleep, decide to come on here and rant at you lot.

:p

What a great fight Jennings vs Minter was i know you guys won't believe me but i had a bet with a mate that Jennings would stop Minter in 9, i won a score not a bad bit of bunce. But this was one of the best fights of the year so far both men were trading bombs and just when you thought Minter was gone he would comeback, but i think the 8th round took a lot out of Minter and he never recovered from that, nice left hook from Jennings that set up the 2nd knock down on Minter as well.

As for Khan vs St Clair good performance from Khan but St Clair was so damn slow, it looked like he was stuck in the mud for most of the fight, and his work rate was very poor as well. Khan did impress but St Clair was disappointing IMO. I thought St Clair would lose but i thought he would be able to at least put more effective pressure on Khan than he did, the only really punch he landed in the fight was a looping over hand right in the middle rounds, and a few body shots here and there but other than that he was never in the fight and was totally out boxed. Next for Khan should be Romanov or Thaxton for certain.
