One for the Boxing fans!

[Jeremy]

I think when the official tickets come on sale, cheapest will be around 1K USD.

So that's alright, then.

[KidKruger]

Oh that's a snip. Who's in ?

[KidKruger]

Frampton contest - anyone watching on ITV ?

Weird in 2nd round - don't blame Frampton tho.

[minder]

Used to watch boxing matches on the TV with my Dad years ago as he was a top boxer in his days in the army and he also trained youngsters but just watching the one tonight made me flinch and feel physically ill and worried for the safety of both fighters.

[KidKruger]

Check plotnykov he's amazing for 37 !

[minder]

Boxing at 37 is even more worrying!

[Otta]

Missed all tonight's action. But keen to watch Eubank's performance.

Looks like Frampton Quigg will get on...

[KidKruger]

Frampton was spot-on.

McGuigan said better that Rigondeaux, which I think is a bit over the top - perhaps if Frampton beats someone in Nonito Donaire's class's he can say that.

Actually, it's a bit worrying how McGuigan is SO apparent in the celebrations and post-fight talks. I know he's an ex-champ and has brought Frampton this far, but his rapture on each win is a bit OTT for my taste - he's re-living the past through his charge's boots. It's a bit like the Eubank situation but not done with such obvious ego.

[david_carnell]

Eubank Jnr looks like he put in a great performance. But I'd pay money just to listen to his Dad's inter-round corner chats. There's some great footage of one where he doesn't say anything and just struts about staring at Jnr. Utterly bonkers!

[Otta]

He's an utter loon, and before Jnr's last fight he put his son under stupid pressure with his previous fight talk.

But it's still great to have him back, boxing needs characters.

"Khan wants Cotto, Bradley, Marquez or Mayweather-Pacquiao winner at Wembley Stadium"

(Boxing News 24)

I do wonder how Khan thinks he can possibly expect these established and consistently proven fighters to entertain coming to UK to fight him.

Bradley and Marquez don't hold titles but still wouldn't regard him as a big enough contest, especially one requiring travel abroad !

Cotto is a MW (or LMW).

Manny and Pacman surely want titles.

The obvious missing name here from Amir Khan is Kell Brook.

Probably a stadium filler, world title on the line, both British fighters.

Is Khan scared of Brook ?

[Jeremy]

I think Bradley or Marquez can be made if the money is right..

[Otta]

Agree with Jeremy. If they looked at videos of Froch Groves 2, they might just fancy that venue and the cash it could generate.

I think Khan recognises that he and Brook will have to meet at some point, but his ego tells him (incorrectly) that he's still a league above Brook, and deserves these big names.

[Otta]

Things change quickly in boxing, but this was only a couple of weeks ago.

[KidKruger]

I'm happy to see any of the fights mentioned.

I sometimes wonder with Khan fighting light-punchers to make him look good is really the best way to get the fights he says he wants.

He's wasting time when he could be proving himself. If he ain't good enough - well that's the sport he chose innit.

[Otta]

Wlad Vs Fury maybe...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/32471527

Hope it happens, could be entertaining.

[KidKruger]

Predictions for the big fight ?

Also what happens after the fight ?

I think there's a script here, just interested if anyone else sees it the same.

[Otta]

Have always thought Mayweather on points, but starting to believe Manny might come up with something...

As for after, I'd love to see Brook get to fight one of them ahead of Khan.

[Otta]

Is anyone actually going to be watching live? I don't know anywhere showing it, am skint, and am knackered, so doesn't look like I will be. But I'd love to.

[KidKruger]

Otta I offered on here weeks ago !!

I've other plans now innit.

[Otta]

Shit, my mistake, totally forgot you'd offered.

What you up to then?

[KidKruger]

Family over now so will set alarm for around 4am and try catch it on 5 Live. I know it's meant to be a big contest but it's not the most interesting for me - neither have fought the best available fighters the last 2-3yrs so I don't consider them the best. If I can't get radio I'll read the Guardian round-by-round update on-line.

We're all off out early tomorrow now so I can't do an all-nighter !

[Otta]

It's not worth an all nighter. If my girls have anything to do with it I'll be up by the time the fight starts.

[david_carnell]

I'm off to a mates in tooting and hoping I stay awake!

[Otta]

Heh, I remember as a teenager being at a house party in Blackheath where we were all staying up for I think Holyfield v Bowe. I remember us all sitting there as the fight started, and I don't think a single person made it past round 1
