I've had a few sessions at the sports bar in Haymarket, where we'd go to (say) 100 Club for a gig, grab late beers at the bar then head to our booked booth at the sports bar where we'd be until 7 when the fight was over ie. Hatton v Mayweather.

Then down to a club in Vauxhall.

Bugger that !

I'll not even get out of bed this eve and hopefully will only need to be awake for 90 mins or so if I'm lucky with timing !

I went to bed early for Mayweather Hatton, and got about 4 hours sleep before making my way to a friend's in Crystal Palace. That was a good night, and DC I seriously recommend you try and get some shut eye.


The fight is scheduled for 4am our time, which means it could be any time between 4 and 6.

Mayweather totally owned Marquez, to the point of making him look almost amateur.

Marquez is the only guy who's (in my view) equalled Paquiao during their contests in recent years.

So, for me (and I know you shouldn't use such simple maths when comparing like this), Mayweather will let Pacman come in and defend as usual in his perfect style.

Floyd's not going to war until (if) he sees Pacman hurt or slow.

I have just tagged Quids and Otta on FB. I once had a school fight with Eamon Loughran, who went on to be world welterweight champion, one of the titles up for grabs tonight. :)


He said to me do you want to fight or do you want to box, I warn you that I'm the best boxer in Ballymena, so I recommend you don't choose to box....I chose fight and it didn't last long but at least I didn't box and I still have a nose and head.


Ps. There are regular photos of Eamon and Liam Neeson on FB. Liam Neeson fought at the same club as a boy.


Local heroes.

Almost identical except rounds 9 and 10.


I watched last night, and it must have been so frustrating for Manny. But Mayweather's reach advantage was so obvious, and Manny couldn't get in on him.


He did hurt him a coule of times though.

Anyone watch the domestic boxing at the weekend ?

Skeete, Mitchell, Buglioni.

Good British contests.


Then in Germany, Felix Sturm actually lost hit title to a non-German (a Russian) on POINTS !!

Then in USA there was Alvarez v Kirkland (good first upper cut, the boy walked right on to it).

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
