Not huge fights but we have a good weekend and quite a few interesting fights:
Tonight:
Tyson fury v Rich Power: Fury KO 3
John O'Donnell V Terrance Cauthen : O Donnell points
Saturday:
Wladimir Klitschko v Sam Peter: Wlad KO 9
Molitor v Booth : Molitor Points
Morales v Limond : Morales TKO 6
There is also a couple of decent match ups in Ireland and the undercard of Wlads fight and Booth Molitor. But these are the main fights this weekend.
I think Wlad finishes Peter by the 5th...maybe sooner
Thanks for that Lyle can always rely on you for great insight to the weekends action. :pQuote:

YouTube - Wladimir Klitschko set to fight Samuel Peter
is tonights fighting on tv?
On that new channel Premier Sports can't remember the channel £6.99 a month they say on there website that all major boxing events Sky don't pick up they will try and buy, so maybe it's not so bad for that price I will hang on see what fights pop up on this channel, so no doubt there will be a stream knocking about later I will post one up later if I can.Quote:

But I agree with lyle I expect wlad to have peter done in 5 rounds.
Why?
Cuz peter is fat and shit.
Don't know anything about Fury or O'Donnels opponents, I assume they are club fighters (will there be a stream?)
I expect Wlad to chip away at the plodder - stopping him around 8-10.
I might back Moliter to stop Booth. I expect a PTS win is most likely but Booth is a lot smaller, isn't a puncher, struggled last time out and isn't really in Moliters class.
I'm actually really excited about this fight, although I don't think it should be happening... One of the tragedies of boxing IMO. But none the less I'm a little excited because I smell an upset!
Thats right, I said it....
Willie Limond UD ;)
Furys opponent looks like he has built up his record fighting the folk from the local disabled home, O Donnells opponent on paper is not bad he has been in with a few top fighters but is clearly just below any real class he also won a bronze at the 96 Olympics.Quote:

Molitor 5/2 to stop him I saw that as well and you could be right mate.
Sam isn't so fat these days...I expect he'll weigh in near 235 which is actually quite slender given his stocky build. I also figure he's still better and more proven in the division than anything England can muster up especially in their Battle of the Reality TV Stars....I mean Battle of Britain heavyweight fight. Enjoy that little TMZ celebrity boxing event HF, it doesn't mean shit in the division and everyone but you knows it.Quote:

booth-molitor should be a good tear up, wlad-peter will be barely watchable and perhaps saved by the spectacle rather than the actual fight itself
...
Plus Rios v. Peterson on undercard Gamboa.
Thought Fury was fighting Donnell whatshisname ? Have only seen him a couple but looks like he has two left feet and the cordination of a new born calf. Should beat this guy though.
Just can't get excited about Morales coming back. You just know in the end with wars, wear and age it's all going to come crashing down. Thought he had promotional company in Mexico going?
Wlad should batter Peter. Use that term lightly. Edit. Salido no gimme and solid cred but style made for much faster Gamboa. Gamboa has a long way to go before he's this super man we hear so much about I believe.
Don't matter, Audley harrison will be making more money off fighting david haye than peter's gonna see off fighting klitmunchQuote:

Please also Lyle look for a post where I've defended haye vs harrison. I guarentee you'll be looking a very long time.
Please don't try and pass klitmunch vs peter off as a balanced contest. The outcome is just as predictable as haye vs harrison and the fight is no more of a contest.
Some balance please.
Difference is I think sam was wlad's 3rd choice, still better than audley who was someone's first choice...anyways looks like a cracking weekend. I've never seen furry really other than his self upercut so if he can bring that to the fight should be exciting. Morales should have never ever came back but I guess he still got the urge, and as worn as he is he should win. Gamboa is always exciting especially due to the dentable chin, I mean I think he's been put on his ass numerous times by journeyman fighters, but still he wins by late tko ud tomorrow. Wlad tko round 9/10.
Oh but HF you did defend it you said it was a "money fight" for Chicken Little. Wlad-Peter 2 may be just as predictable but Sam Peter is a mandatory and Audley Harrison is just some bum who happens to be fighting for a "title".
O'Donnel's opponent is Terrance Cauthen, an Olympic Bronze medalist. He has a lot of skill from the outside but he's about as one dimensional as you get. I think he is going to pull the upset here.
Fury's opponent I know nothing about. Fury is a good comedian though, I wish him well. Tyson Fury-Rich Power, if you can't sell with that marquee then you have failed.
Gamboa is going to KTFO that steroid cheating Salido. No doubt in my mind.
And I like both Wlad and Peter but Wlad is the man right now and I think he wins.
Haye's not the first man to defend his title against a bum in the HW division and he won't be the last. In fact I seem to remember someone with the Klitschko name defending his title against the European champion earlier this year too. It doesn't make it right by any stretch and Haye should be fighting someone else no doubt but as I said he isn't the first and won't be the last. One thing about the Haye fight though is I can guarantee there will be early drama resulting in a KO and not some boring jabfest that just goes on and on.Quote:

Klit stops Peter mid way
Booth wins by UD
Fury punches himself in the face
#1 Chicken Little is a gutless coward...his statements when compared to his actions have made this FACTQuote:

#2 It's hard to get a challenger willing to fight the Klitschko's as we have recently seen...still Sosnowski is better than Audley.
#3 Vitali is older, he wanted a "stay busy" fight and Sosnowski not only helped him do that it also set up a possible match vs Tomaz Adamek them both being from Poland and all...not that Adamek would really be all that great of an opponent but the option is there
Do you have David Haye insults and Klitschko big ups saved on your PC for easy copy paste action?Quote:

The thing is though Lyle you talk as though Haye is the first man to use these tactics.Quote:

The more Haye and Klitschko slag each other off in the press the more people talk about the fight and the more frustrated they get until finally when it is signed (for real) people actually feel relieved that it's going ahead. It's all a game and someone like yourself, who I have no doubt from reading your posts for the last few years has a great knowledge of boxing and it's history, should see straight through. I'd bet if I could talk to Manny Steward one on one in private where no one could publish his comments he'd agree.
The Haye-Klit fights "WILL" happen eventually, I have no doubt, the only problem is I feel that Vitali may well be past it and for that reason Haye will choose him first and beat him IMO. Then the mega fight with Wlad will be huge and whoever wins that (obviously you'll go Wlad I'll go Haye), the biggest winner will be boxing.
I don't act like he's the only one to do it he's just the most annoying. I like Ray Leonard but I also don't like him. I HATE the way he treated Haggler "I'm retired/I'm not retired" lousy bastard for that IMO. With Chicken Little and Wladimir, things have passed "juicy" it's been YEARS since the talking has started, and we're still no closer.Quote:

Pac Mayweather is another example to me. I think that fight is a case of "we have to make as much money as we possibly can from it because where do we go after it?" I think that fight will happen next year to be honest and hopefully the Haye Klit fights can too. I don't doubt that they WILL happen though.Quote:

As for Leonard I personally thought it was genius. I mean he was moving up in weight to fight the greatest ever MW IMO so he had to get inside his head, and he did just that. Now love him or hate him for it, he did what he set out to do and he got the result.

Well the quote I was thinking of was actually Conrads....so you don't "defend" him, you just make illogical arguments about why not to criticize Chicken Little's choicesQuote:
