Tony Conquest is fighting for the Commonwealth Cruiserweight crown at York Hall, Bethnal Green, the home of British boxing.

It?s the headline contest, with plenty other domestic dust-ups on the card. Promoted by Eddie Hearn.

I have not found out we can get tickets for @?40.

If anyone's interested PM me and I'll get in touch (I will need paying by Friday to make group payment Friday PM).


Should be a class night !!


Otta - too bad. Good luck with move !

well Mayweather ran a poll on his website and Khan won like 57/43% from fans who voted. I think Khan did a big plea via twitter etc. to get his fans to vote for him.

So Khan's been giving it large about he's the best opposition for Mayweather, meanwhile Mayweather's uncle says that as far as he's concerned Maidana will be the opponent, regardless of what the poll produced. There were 3 or 4 other polls by independent boxing / sport websites and in all of them Maidana was the clear leader in votes.

Khan since has made some fairly grovelling statements via media to Mayweather, trying to claw-back his favour.


Best boxing news this week is that Martinez has said publicly he wants Golovkin. He has to face Cotto first and there's plenty of quality views on Martinez's chances in both contests. It could be all talk but it's definitely a fight everyone wants at MW, it would remove any possible conjecture of who's the man at that weight because opinion is polarised over these two candidates solely.


Chisora v Fury this weekend. I fancy Chisora in R6/7.

Mayweather beats either of them with ease, it's probably just a case of who made more sense financially.


Khan was an idiot for backing out of the Devon Alexander fight, it was a winnable fight that could have boosted his credibility after his recent unconvincing form.

Khan now has to pull his socks up and work his way to contention for either a belt or a Mayweather fight.

I think he'd have had more chance beating Devon than the new champ Shawn Porter. If Khan faces contender Keith Thurman he'll be asleep by R6. Khan's now in a hot WW division with powerful punchers and gifted as he is, I'm not sure what the path is to a belt for him now. The Diaz fight highlighted perfectly the dangers he faces - and Diaz was a guy coming up from lightweight to face Khan.


One obvious opponent for Mayweather is Timothy Bradley. He's by far the most qualified of the Welterweights.

I'm not sure whether its the promotional barriers, money (Bradley doesn't have a huge following) or too risky.

If Pacman beats Bradley in a few weeks, that will make him a clear opponent for Floyd, maybe in Sept. If not then surely Bradley or FM cannot claim superiority.

I'm heading over to Tooting way to watch with a mate. Will let you know in case anyone fancies coming along once I've got details.


I can't help but feel that Froch was as bad as can be last time while Groves was at his best.


The big question is can Froch improve or has age and all those blows caught up with him. His granite chin is great but he's not afraid of getting caught to land his own punch. Groves speed means he'll get hit a lot. Very tough to call this one. If it goes the distance I think Groves on points but I reckon Froch will pull another TKO out the bag late on. Round 9 or 10.

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
