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).

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
