Just seen on a boxing website that Kahn vs Pacquaio is on for May 20th. Nothing surprises me anymore so this fight is probably going ahead.

That's more believable than April 23...

Looking possible that Josh Warrington could be fighting Kiko Martinez in May. Frank Warren is saying they have made an offer. Be a good fight for Warrington's profile before building to something bigger later in the year.

Davis v Walsh is a great fight.

Fury's back.

We got Gamboa this weekend as well.

He is wanting a Lomachenko fight. That would be super. At 130 or 135. Gamboa on any kind form would present serious issues for Lomachenko. Love to see it.

Gamboa is on the under-card to Curtis Stevens-David Lemieux.

Is boxing moving with the times ? Great idea imo

Gary Russell Jr's fight here tonight postponed until May 27. His last fight saw him demolish Pajo:

New casino with 24 hour bars:D

Anyone going to Mick Conlan's debut Friday night?

First time in the garden so really looking forward to it.

Anyone any tips?

Going to be in the pub all day, what's security gonna be like?

walshb · 14-03-2017 09:04PM

Tips? A ton on Conlan's opponent will bet you 50k..

Yeah going to that and the Golovkin fight saturday night.

One difference is that Conlan's fight is in the Theater not the main venue.

Tickets for both fights still available.

There will be airport type scanners at the entrance so get there in time. If you are ****faced you might be in luck getting in as you wont be the only one I'd imagine!!

Burial. · 14-03-2017 10:54PM

If you were to bet the max allowed on PP on Conlan to win, which is 40k, you'd make a profit of 80 euro. Mother of Jesus that has to be some sort of record for shortest odds :pac:

Looking forward to Cuadras/Carmona. Always rated Cuadras highly, way before his first mainstrean appearance against Gonzalez, and Carmona fought admirably (probably should have been stopped in the 12th, but cards didn't reflect his efforts) against Inoue so it'll be interesting to see what Cuadras does with him. Inoue/Cuadras is a fight I want to see as much as Gonzalez/Inoue.

HigginsJ · 14-03-2017 11:03PM

I see Jason Quigley is going up against Glen Tapia, while not top class Tapia is a real proper bench mark, his only losses have been against some of the best in the division.

spent the last 20 minutes trying to find the full fight card, not on MSG website, nor on Top Ranks.

i find it baffling tbh. talk about bad promotion.

Not sure where this belongs but seems Kessler has decided to come out of retirement at 38.
http://www.boxingscene.com/mikkel-kessler-makes-return-boxing-official-wants-world-title--115160

Very sad news tbh, looked an aged fighter when he lost to Froch and he had some pretty bad eye issues... I think he's only going to hurt his legacy tbh. Of course Mr. 80,000 in Wembley had to chime in and said he's half thinking about a return too. Of course Hearn and Sky will lap that up to heaven high. Wish they'd both stay clear and let some new blood emerge in 168. If the likes of Kessler and Froch come back and Ward bounces between 168/175 like Virgil Hunter said he would for a fight with Golovkin you're basically setting the clock back 5 years and derailing any fresh talent from getting a push.

I was just about to post about it before i read your post. It's a bad mistake given his past eye problems. He is another fighter who seemingly can't adjust to life after boxing.

Morrison J · 17-04-2017 05:52PM

Ryan Burnett to fight Lee Haskins on the Wlad-Joshua undercard apparently. Might be a contender for the most boring fight of all time but good step up for Burnett. Fight I think he'll win.

walshb · 17-04-2017 06:27PM

Haskins is about 90...

Burial. · 17-04-2017 10:05PM

Crolla...Burns...Haskins you're next, time's up.

Nice card due for June 17 in Belfast for BoxNation. Barnes, Jamie Conlan, Stephen Ormonde...

Barnes fighting a yet to be named opponent for a WBO European flyweight title, whatever d fook that is..

It looks like people will have to wait a little longer for GGG vs Canelo. If Canelo gets over Chavez Jr. he will likely be fighting Lemieux in September according to Teddy Atlas.

Last time I report what Teddy Atlas says!! Great that the fight is going ahead.

In an interview with Steve Bunce, Tyson Fury has confirmed that he is working down from 26 1/2 stone to 18 & a 1/2 stone and that it would take 8 - 10 weeks and he wants to fight on a card on the 8th of July.

That is a lot of weight to lose in such a short space of time, he would want to be fighting some bum on his return just to be safe.

Also rumored that Eddie Hearn has booked Wembley for next April for Fury vs Joshua.

Next April...what a load of co&k is boxing at times......

I remember when champions fought anyone available (and mandatories') every 10-12 weeks....

I was Looking up Sugar ray Robinson's record the other night. At one point in 1950 he defended his World Welterweight title over 15 rounds and 2 weeks later knocked out a guy in 1 for the Middleweight title!

He went on to have 8 fights over the next 4 months.

The really good old days.

When Tyson was the champion, and the undisputed HW champion he was fighting the best around every 3 months or so.

Heard Joshua after the Klitschko fight say he will only fight every 6 months from now on. He'll be lucky to make 30 career fights!
