Michael Jennings thread!

[JazMerkin]

I don't think it's because Pavlik is bigger. Surely MORE Brits will be interested in Jennings-Cotto than Pavlik? It must have something to do with the spat Frank Warren has had (is having?) with Setanta

A few weeks back, on Buncey's show, they were saying the fight will be shown but now nothing.

What makes it worse is the undercard is miles better than the Pavlik-Rubio bill.

I agree about Cotto gaining confidence from the Margarito handwraps stuff. Poor Jennings was a big enough underdog as it was.

No its definitely on, its just not top of the bill I guess, see here

Boxing: Coming up on Setanta | Setanta

It says TBC. That list hasn't been updated since last year.

The Sky remote guide is showing only Pavlik-Rubio. This is bad

Well on Bunce's boxing hour the other day, they were talkin to jennings & talkin about the fight bein live on setanta so I'm pretty confident its on, & they said it would be on actually at the start. Check it out on the Setanta webpage

I didn't think they said it would be shown even with/after Jennings appearance? They are only advertising Pavlik-Rubio.

Hope you're right

Someone sent in a question asking Bunce if the Jennings fight was on Setanta & he said yes, I remember because it was the only question sent in that he could give a yes or no to. Unless I'm high on this flu medicine I'm takin & dreamt it all

Is anyone having a bet on Jennings causing a upset at the Bookmakers?I seen at one bookmakers that Jennings is something like 8-1 to win.Worth a fiver for me!!And before you all start thinking i've lost me mind,i do know Cotto is surely in a different level of pedigree than Jennings,but Jennings is really humble and will fight with his heart on his sleave.Im really looking forward to see both of them fight it out!

Jennings has a lot of respect for Cotto which is noble to hear,i just hope he does'nt respect him too much and go into this own shell.Im sure he want though.Im looking forward to this whatever the out come may be.

[Fenster]

I hope Jennings wins but even the 8/1 doesn't look tempting to me. I make Jennings about a 20/1 shot.

I'm afraid all this talk about "he's only human" means he really believes he's facing the hulk.

Cotto's chin isn't great though. Be good if Jennings Jimmy Vincents him (100/1)

I was just watching Setanta and it was showing all the stuff that was going to be on this weekend. Pavlik, Man U, some golf. It didn't mention Cotto Jennings, but it did a few weeks ago.
I've looked on sky and ITV but it's not there either.
You can't trust the Setanta web site, last year it said it was showing Dela Hoya Paciquio.
I was really looking ford to this fight as well.

It is on Setanta its just on Sunday night for some reason. Maybe it clashes with the Pavlik fight, who knows, but it is on albeit a delayed broadcast. Just have to avoid seeing the outcome and watch it like its live Sunday night. They did it before with another fight, think it was Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, it was just on the next day not live.

[richard (mossley)]

When Williams fought Tyson I won good money on that and I could see the outcome coming.

Cotto had been beaten by a monster, Margaritto. Apart from that he is world class. If you want to win money on this fight bet on Cotto to win within rds 1-4, any other outcome is money down the drain, Jennings will get destroyed.

[JazMerkin]

Ok boys, I phoned up Setanta today to check about the fight & they told me that BOTH the Pavlik & Cotto-Jennings fight will DEFINITELY be shown on the night. We should also get John Duddy vs Matt Vanda, although they weren't a 100% on this one, & they had no idea about the Anthony Peterson fight.
