Probably wont be any spectators allowed but we have to do something to get Fordy ringside seats, hell let’s get him in Brooks corner. Hopefully the Rawk brains trust can formulate a way.

they will be fans there.

I'll be there.Khan will be set to school.

Fordy's time has come. Apparently Brook v Khan is the closest it's ever been to happening.

Brook and Eddie still fallen out?

Could be on Channel 5 this.

No Eddie involved with DAZN...and I won't be paying £2

Katie Abdo might tell me what good sperm I have though.

Couldn't believe she said that. She rightfully got Bellew of the Week for that on the Boxing Asylum podcast

Watched a Kalle Sauerland interview on Wednesday regarding Chris Eubank signing for them. Didn’t know where he was going to fight or who was going to train him. Kept talking about fighting one of the Charlo brothers, I can imagine PBC breaking their necks to make that fight now Eubank has parted company with them.

Samie · « **Reply #65487 on:** January 15, 2021, 10:48:18 am »

He was being trained by Roy Jones Jr last year.

Conor McGregor is saying they've started talks with Pacquiao's team for a fight later this year. It's one thing fighting Floyd, whole diffrent ball game fighting Pacman.

Aye mate, we got a few on the card this year.

Floyd is back

Holyfield v McCrory

Eddie Hall v Halfthor Bjornsson "World's Strongest Boxing Fight"

Maybe Roy Jones and Lusty's mate.

My man Toney probably weighs more than Eddie Hall by now

To be fair, I'll never get tired of seeing McGregor get knocked out! Pacman will mess him up properly as well. Just means this thread will be temporarily invaded by blerts talking about roundhouse kicks!

He was being trained by Roy Jones Jr last year.

Watched an interview with him since, says he wants to fight in the US & will remain with Jones as his trainer. The switch to Sauerland makes no sense, not that anything Eubank does ever makes sense.

MCGregor v Pacquiao is a circus I actually wouldn't mind watching, just to see McGregor have his head removed from his shoulders.

I really think McGregor could get hurt in this. Floyd didn't take him seriously at all and didn't train specifically for the fight, he knew he didn't need to. Pac would go for the kill early and could cause serious damage to McGregor.

Randomly stumbled across Pacquiao v Diaz highlights the other day and I think it might be similar, Manny landing combos for fun and making an absolute mess of McGregor's face.

The good news is that once McGregor's fans start piling on at the bookies, there will be money to be made for the rest of us.

Same result as vs Callum, I like Billy Joe but he has no power or anything to trouble Canelo does he?

Samie · « **Reply #65506 on:** January 20, 2021, 12:20:12 pm »

Aye but BJS is a slightly more trickier prospect for diffrent reasons. Still expect ginger to get him eventually though.

Apparently the WBO have contact Usyk to say he may need to wait for his title shot which means AJ v Fury could be for all the straps after all!

Joe Joyce could be a possible opponent for Usyk as well in the mean time mate. If rumours are to believed.

You sure?

Canelo Alvarez vs Avni Yildirim is reportedly now agreed for Feb 27th at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. It's understood Eddie Hearn will promote the mandatory defence of Canelo's WBA & WBC super-middleweight titles on DAZN.

I thought the talk was always BJS after Yildirim? Easy night's work for Canelo, then BJS on cinco de mayo maybe?

Canelo v Yildrim has been confirmed. He doesn’t mess about about.

Just heard Josh Warrington has vacated his IBF title because they wouldn’t sanction a unification fight.

Won't be far off two years for Pac in the ring when this one takes place. He beat undefeated Thurman last time out and looked good doing so. That level of performance sees a KO victory I think. Problem is, that was in July 2019. He is 42 years old now. If he comes out and dominates Garcia, I'm not sure what else there is to say about him.

We'll see but MAB was clearly on the slide. Not 100% sure on Pacman given he beat a 29-0 star fighter last time out. No telling whether he has fallen off the cliff in the more than 18 months since though.
