The Steve Bunce boxing hour sticky!

19/3/09

Today's show is a middleweight special and we will speak to, amongst others, British legends Michael Watson and Alan Minter.

Watson took part in epic battles with Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in the early 1990s before winning his biggest fight to recover from a brain haemorrage.

Minter was the undisputed middleweight champion in 1980 before being unfortunate enough to run into the great Marvin Hagler.

On the current world scene, Top Rank will let us know the situation concerning Kelly Pavlik and whether a fight with Arthur Abraham is on the horizon. We will also speak to Abraham's promoter Kalle Sauerland.

We will also hear from new British middleweight champion Matt Macklin after his dramatic victory over Wayne Elcock and Irish contender Andy Lee.

We will also discuss what is next for Amir Khan, hearing his thoughts on Saturday's victory over Marco Antonio Barrera as well as his promoter Frank Warren and the manager of one of the WBA lightweight champions, Paulus Moses.

Finally, Enzo Maccarinelli will speak to the show about his plans after his knockout defeat to Ola Afolabi.

If I was Enzo I would not be showing my face in public for at least a few more months.

Buncey mentioned Saddo Boxing first today in his list of boxing websites!

[Master]

Wow Wee lets all stop acting like a bunch of groupies and kissing his butt.

Barry Hearn was quality today. Great tales.

[Master]

Yes could have listened to his stories all night (has he done a book) the Watson v McCallum story was good.
