This film gets me in the mood to watch boxing like no other:
The All-in-one Consolidatory Boxing Thread Page 10
Rest in Peace Manny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARkFswc8Q3M
I saw Freddie Flintoff on the news this morning and he was looking in pretty good shape - better than his upcoming opponent in fact. I don't know how boxing operates really, but I find it strange he's been granted a professional license so quickly.
And he's won. Weird.
He was game but looked awful
I watched the Tyson Fury fight on C5 tonight.
That's 12 x 3 mins + the extras I won't get back.
Ricky Hatton believes Manny Pacquiao should retire. I can't say I agree with him. Despite the ugly KO by Márquez, there's still some big money fights for Pacquiao to take up.
What does everyone think of Adrien Broner?
The Guardian's pushing him as the new Mayweather, but that's mainly due to his antics.

I really like Broner. He looked really good in his last fight against Rees.
Also it's worth a mention that Canelo vs. Trout and Mayweather vs. Guerrero are happening on May 24 at the MGM Grand.
That's a really big card.
RIP Ken Norton

I can't claim to be a boxing fan but I've got autographs of boxers from someone who was involved at Manor Place, Walworth. A long time ago. I was about 12 when he got them. Terry Downes, John Conteh I think, about half a dozen other famous names. They are on programmes from that era. I will have to dig them out.
Froch fight.
Controversial . . . .
Well Done Tyson Fury
Fair play to the crazy Gypsy
Heavyweight Champion of the World!!!!

Totally agree.
Shame he's a homophobic, sexist cretin.

Yes - but isn't that a bit of a gypsyist comment?
