Abraham-Murray/Crolla-Perez Plus Undercard. Saturday. 8pm. SKY. Fact.

[Master]

Nice upset stoppage

[Batman]

Great punch that was, I didn't realise at the time how good it was

[Beanz]

Brilliant. Really nice emphatic way to realise your dream. Stoked for him.

[IamInuit]

Punch perfectly placed

[Batman]

Anyone got any idea of fight times for the Boxnation schedule, it doesn't normally start until 2 but tonight it starts at 12, I was actually kinda hoping to get an hours kip before it came on, looks like I'll be hammering the coffee instead

[Batman]

Crolla does come across as a genuinely nice guy but fuck me it gets boring listening to it, so far tonight Nurse, Jenkins, Murray and Crolla have all been praised for being really nice guys outside of the ring.

Thats every British fighter who has been on tonight who they have mentioned what a nice bloke they are, surely there are a few bastards in the sport who hail from England.

[Master]

I am watching Spike TV boxing now. Stay awake

[Batman]

Is that one the Seals Rodriguez fight? I've already seen that, I'll stick with BoxNation and see what rubbish they put on here

ah Zhang Zhilei, the giant heavyweight chinaman is up first

Edit - change of plan, I'm going to bed for an hour then I'll re-evaluate the situation

[Master]

Hope you get up in time

[Batman]

I'm back, didn't have a fucking clue what was going on when my alarm went off, I must have really drifted off, that doesn't normally happen if I know I am getting up in just a few hours.

Anyone know what the start time for the UK the Cotto v Alvarez fights sposed to be?

Just seen the face off and isnt Roach annoying.

I like Cotto, think hes the better fighter by far or was but Alvarez is going to be much stronger and cant help but think of the first Margarito fight where that strength took over.

[Fenster]

Excellent, emphatic win for Crolla. Glad I was wrong.

Crolla-vs-Mitchell/Burns would be great. Campbell wont happen because it's too early. Flanagan can't happen because of cunty politics. Joe Gallager called for Linares (careful what you wish for). Either way there are cracking fights out there.

Just caught up with the fights on Sky last night.3 things about Murray :
1. He hasn't got enough power at SMW to trouble AA too much .
2. He's had 4 World title attempts now,and maybe he's not quite at the necessary level.
3. All his challenges have been away from home, and with the exception of the GGG fight, at home, if we're honest, it's possible he could've won all 3 of the other fights. Murray's moved about a bit promoter wise and he's never built up enough of a following to get a home title shot. When he was with Hatton, he didn't have enough exposure or a TV deal, then he went with the South Africans fighting in Monte Carlo, and He never built up enough momentum to get a home shot. Now he's with Matchroom. Maybe if he'd been with them earlier, he may not have earnt as much initially, but they would've backed him more financially, and if he won a home title shot, then he could've earnt a lot more.
Very pleased for Crolla. He's been with Matchroom a while, built up a really good fan base, and his promoter not only got him a shot on home soil, he got him the rematch on home soil and Crolla has repaid that faith. They love him up in Manchester.
Would love to see him defend it against Mitchell!
