Ricky Burns-Michele Di Rocco - Sat/Sky

[superheavyrhun]

We're starting off with Jon-Lewis Dickinson against McCarthy.

The one that surprises me is Willie Limond thinking that a victory tonight sets him up for a world title shot against Ricky Burns. If I was thinking of fights that encapsulate why world titles have been diluted, Limond v Burns would rank up there.

Is your avatar pitfall?

You're damn right it is! I think the mod's here once had a little game of all of us changing our avatars to 1980s computer games, and I'm the only one who never got round to changing it back!

What do you think of Tommy McCarthy? He really whips in his punches, and I like anyone who's willing to commit to working the body.

He's let him off the hook a bit there hasn't he, thought he was gunnar finish it then

As its not a title fight, I was a little surprised to see the ref let it go on, as JLD seemed to be stumbling backwards a little. Having seen how heavy he went down, I doubt it goes 10.

Am I right in thinking that Paul Smith is fighting at goodison park tomorrow?
I thought he had retired, are they just bringing in a bum for him to beat up just so he can say he fought at goodison park?

Having just seen a close up of Dickinson, has anyone checked to see if he is Ian Holloway's son. He looks like he might burst into an improbable metaphor at any time.

[Batman]

I can't stand ian Holloway so on that basis I'm hoping Dickinson gets KTFO

[superheavyrhun]

Well, I guess I called the KO like a pro. Good win for McCarthy, showing he probably deserved the step up. He does ship a fair few punches, which might hurt him if he goes in against a guy with heavier hands.

[Batman]

Still early days for him though.

I didn't realise Tyrone Nurse was fighting, I like him purely because I have a habit of winning money on his fights for some reason, Connor Benn on the card as well, I'm guessing he will be in with a polish ice cream man or someone like that.

[Fenster]

What a left hook. How'd he come back from that
