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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
