Michael Jennings thread!

[JazMerkin]

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.

Good work Jaz I guess they just havent listed it yet then. Bit sloppy that. It actually says nothing at all about the Jennings fight on the skyplanner either night now, weird.

The Pavlik fight programme is on 3AM-6.30AM Sunday morning (UK time), maybe theyll just stick it in with that? Hopefully Bunceys show can clarify for us tomorrow when its on, youd expect them too.

[JazMerkin]

Well lads, it seems we're getting shafted having read this

Boxing: Coming up on Setanta | Setanta

I phoned up Setanta again this time to tell me that no they don't THINK it will be on.

So pissed off dunno what's changed in a couple of days, but the rumour mill seems to be that its a money issue with Warren or something.

It hasn't been cancelled but it also now hasn't been confirmed. I think mass emails to Bunce's Boxing Hour might be in order to ask WTF is goin on, because this is unbelievably shoddy just a few days before a world title fight with a British boxer
