    Don't rate Jennings at all and would say that this is an easy fight for Perez(depending on which Perez turns up).

    He clearly was not the same Perez last time out as he was in the Abdusamalov fight. I think the nice break is what he needed so I am hoping that he bounces back.

    Rumours coming out that Chavez Jr. vs Golovkin to fight on 12th July. Could be a cracking fight if a fit & motivated Chavez Jr. turns up

    Great fight between Curtis Stevens and Tureano Johnson last night. Best middleweight bout I've seen in a while. Haven't seen Cunningham-Mansour yet but apparently it was a cracker as well.

    Klitschko v Leapai is on this Saturday night. Anybody wishing to prove their hardcore dedication to the sport, or offer penance for their sins can catch it on Eurosport2.

    times wouldve overlapped though,champions league final kicks off at 7:45. miss either the undercard in the boxing or the final. and if it went into ET it wouldn't be over til after 10. least we get 2 sat nights of sport to look forward too. build up for froch v groves starts on Tuesday i think,on sky sports. something on Tuesday,wed,Thursday,Fri,sat and then the fight sat night

    Was brilliant last year when we had the CL final, then Froch/Kessler II and then a shneaky bit of UFC later on that night. What a day of sport that was! Shame the fight falls the following week.

    There are reports that Mayweather's next opponent in September will be Danny Garcia. Apparently Showtime weren't happy with Maidana PPV numbers so they're not inclined for a rematch and Garcia is a big draw. Apparently Khan was supposed to be the initial opponent but that's more like for May next year. Maidana-Thurman is rumoured for a possible undercard fight which would be an incredible fight, potential FOTY.

    I hope this doesn't happen though. Danny said he wants one more fight at LWW but who could refuse the Floyd payday? As well as that Swift is a good boxer but his fight with Herrera was a robbery tbh, he was a shadow of the man who fought with Matthysse and it looked like that fight took a lot out of him. He's not ready to move up weight yet especially against Mayweather. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Cubans are on the WSB final over the weekend. Ive been watching some of their fights in the series and some fighters are lovely to watch. Could be some dodgy judging as they're away from home and the scoring in the series is a bit inconsistent.

    What channel (if any) can you get that on?

    I was in Cuba last month and went to see their national team against the Russians in Havana. Five dollars in and we were allowed bring in a bottle of rum. Bloody marvellous.

    He's a 3/1 favorite. I think the body attack is key. He's a deal shorter and he can't afford to be kept at range.

    I think you mean he's 1/3. The only problem with Butler from what I can remember was his tendency to spend long periods on the ropes. Hall looks bigger and stronger so I'm not sure it's a great tactic to be spending loads of time on the ropes. Should be interesting.

    Yes, 3-1 on I should have said.

    I'd say that was an experience.

    Ah lads ye haven't lived until ye've been. The arena is amazing like. Dilapidated to sh*t but so much character (like most of the best gyms really); wooden raised bleacher benches and no air conditioning in 33 degree heat with high humidity. The crowd is mental like, everything from 85 year old women puffing cigars to crowds of local youngfellas hopping all over the gaff. It's some of the best boxing I've ever seen as well.

    Another thing that's worth doing is training in one of the gyms in Havana. For twenty bucks a day I was training with Hector Vinent who was a gold medallist in 1992 and 1996 at leightweight; he's one of Wayne McCullough's best friends. Sparring in that humidity had me f*cking bate to rights though, I did three rounds in a row and nearly blacked out. I had to sit down for half an hour. Also boxing in Cuba is a black dominated sport so I was the only gringo in the gym and a bit of an exotic presence to be honest. There were a couple of Mexican lads there alright and we got some good sparring in. Needless to say we were absolutely annihilated by the Cubans.

    Boxers over there are considered gods nearly, after baseball it's the most popular sport in the country. I had my gloves poking out of my bag walking through the barrios in Havana and I was absolutely mobbed by kids and people stopped me in the street to talk and ask me where I'm from etc. Amazing place with boxing embedded in its veins. It's a must-visit for any fan of the sport.

    Vinent was my favorite boxer from Barcelona. So dominant. He did a number on oNe of our lads, Neil Winters in a WC match in '93 I think. Body shot KO. Top 10 all time Cuban. No doubt.

    Yeah he was regaling me with tales of his defeat of Winters alright. Also because I'm a plodder he kept roaring "bailar!" at me which is Spanish for dance and hitting me with the pad.

    One of the coaches in my gym here is Herol Graham whose approach to style and other methods is unorthodox to say the least and much of that has rubbed off on me over the past year. Vinent was saying not to listen to him because his style wasn't technical enough etc and the Cuban style is the best in the world so why would I want to copy anyone else?

    He certainly is a character.

    Danny Garcia up against a relative nobody tomorrow night. Big interest in the undercard though, Daniel Jacobs after overcoming cancer is in a Middleweight title fight. It's for the regular WBA belt as far as I'm aware although Golovkin is obviously the WBA champ but there are belts for everyone these days. Still though would be a great story to see him win, got some nice KO power in him too.

    A massacre awaits. Sad that Jose is taking these fights, sadder that the sport sanctions them. Unless I am wrong, but Castillo hasn't been near a force for several years now. Ruslan is not the kind of foe that you want to me meeting if you haven't got it anymore.

    He's pretty average, Fury will have an easy time picking him off with the jab and once the bigger shots go in it'll be all over.

    He's a decent European level fighter, I do think Fury will have too much for him, considering he has Klitscho on the horizon it's about a tough a fight as he could risk.
