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.

"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 ?

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.

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.

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 !

      Fly the flag

      Sound Lounge music venue windows smashed after altercation with those putting up flags.  Interesting comparison with another country in another time below https://insidecroydon.com/2025/09/08/suttons-sound-lounge-suffers-its-own-kind-of-kristallnacht/

      Mahmood says she could......

      By malumbu · Posted

      Labour are bashing themselves.  There is a difference between those who really want this government to work (there are many good things but as you have said nobody is listening) and to those who don't like Labour and would never vote of them.  The move to the right is worrying and of course worthy of discussion. I wonder if those most critical on this forum would vote Labour if they did take more draconian/authoritarian action to reduce legal and illegal migration.  I doubt it,  But perhaps outside of the metropolitan areas.....

      The Johnson papers

      By malumbu · Posted

      It wasn't irony many of the population think he is amusing.  I can't print what I think. There is a whole wiki entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Boris_Johnson Quoting from this: Unique aspects of Johnson's image have included his perceived comedic or humorous persona and semi-shambolic appearance. And frighteningly from a 2011 biography He is blessed with immense charisma, wit, sex appeal and celebrity gold dust; he is also recognised and loved by millions I've compared him with Quagmire from family guy in the past, giggity giggity
