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 !

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.

      Is this the home for the blind and partially sighted at the south end of Underhill?

      Parking in Herne Hill

      Sorry, yes, you can park but it's unlikely you will find a space. I meant to say 'you can't park with any certainty' - and if you go past Stradella Road getting back to where you can park is a bit of a bind.

      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/
