The deal's still to be made but yeah it appears close. It'll still be the biggest fight, money-wise, in history.

The endless speculation in the columns and the fever pitch it reaches at times like this are a bit tiresome though !

Just make the darned fight and get them in the ring - albeit 5 or 6 years too late. I think it has less meaning now than it would have had previously, so the hysteria is probably more a collective cry of relief than actually deserved..


Wilder fights Stiverne on Saturday so the USA could finally have a world champ - heaven knows they're crying out for one !! On ability, I fancy Stiverne (hopefully in (5-6) but Wilder does seem to set-up the right-hand windmill by blinding you with the left.

We could use my pad as I've BoxNation, problem is I'll be on IOW !

If I can switch weekends (my weekends, not asking Floyd to switch his weekends for me !) then happy to host.

Pubs unlikely to show it cos it's West coast hrs - card probably starts around 1am !

Basically the other 'champs' in his division should be ashamed of themselves - Cotto should face him or go back to LMW, Quillin vacated rather than face Koborov and had nothing to say when Golovkin's name was mentioned. Andy Lee says he's interested but don't they all - he's more likely to face Saunders in Ireland.

The established boxers flapping their gums about GGG not having proven himself are increasingly in need of better strategies to not fight him.

The whole situation is a sad symptom of the multi-belt charade called international boxing.

I'll be interested to see how Chris Eubank Jr v Dmitry Chudinov (WBA 'interim' middleweight) works out after Eubank's defeat last time out.


I don't know much about Frampton or Fury's opponents, but expect Fury to win easily against some journeyman. Feels like Fury has been around forever and never really had a proper fight. Shame the David Haye thing never happened as that would have been a proper test.

I meant to post this the other day, quite a good piece on the state of boxing and why lots of the fights we want never get made.

Comments at the bottom all seem to be agreeing that it will be a disappointing fight ending in points win for FM.

someone told me that tickets for the big fight are $100,000 each.

I haven't had chance to check but surely that can't be true ?


Not sure who wins Carl Frampton's contest, I don't know the other guy at all (and am also reliably shite on predictions). Unfortunately I'll be in the country again relying on wifi so don't expect to be able to access ITV4 - saw the fight advertised whilst in the Castle last night.


Jean Pascal is fighting Kovalev soon I read, The way Froch handled Pascal some years ago you'd expect Kovalev to do the business.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.
