[liamus27]

Its great news, theyr'e gonna show the Carl Froch fights on ITV1 also which is what boxing badly needs big fights on terrestrial tv at a normal time on saturday nights. Great stuff

The Carl Froch fights are actually going to be on ITV4

Itv did themselves no favours by buying the most boring domestic heavyweight fights . Each one was a failure.

I really hope Thaxton does well. Ive never known a fighter more determined. He could have retired after Colin Dunn stopped him or Emmanuel Augustus but he came back , then he had a damging defeat to Hatton and could have walked away but he tried again. he was unlucky vs Rowland but he tried again . i thought wed seen teh last of him vs magee but he came right again . he recently lost a ebu title challenge but here he is again . if nothing else he is persistant . i wish him wel but i duno how good this Melero guy is so i cant call this fight . I hear Herbie Hides fighting too . He needs to move up and fight Audey IMO. that would be the only fight to create interest for the both of them.
