[sir roger]

David Price won in 3 rounds but was down in the first according to the Beeb. Not sure whether the opponent was up to much.

[Dr Nowt]

Anyone watching the fights?

Just put it on Kal after the footy I'm looking forward to Crolla v Murray,two old gym mates who will go for it in their hometown

[Lee909]

Looks like a few good fights tonight.

Hoping to be awake for the Hopkins fight,the man is one of my all time favourites.

I know he wont take the fights with Stevenson or Kovalev but how he still goes at his age is amazing. Not a exciting fighter but so good tatically

[dickie mint]

Great Hopkins and he's a credit to himself.

[Boss]

Oscar De La Hoya once said about Hopkins, that they went out for a meal in a restaurant and Hopkins realised there was white wine on his chicken and sent it back, because he wanted it plain. Oscar realised at that moment the discipline Hopkins had for his profession.

[Lee909]

Munroe looks done as a fighter here. Not getting battered battered.

 

Wow corner pulled him

[Lee909]

Decent fighter at the European level but the world title was a step too far. Good luck to him, hope he sticks to retire though

[Lee909]

What a shot from Quigg

He was done

 

"His legs have gone"

[Lee909]

Superb from Quigg

[Byrnie]

Paulie took one hell of a beating last night. Brook will not be looking forward to facing Porter.

What a prick, but fuck me he's one talented prick that's for sure.

WTF was Briggs doing here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSMuNsbjvJ0

 

Did he totally forget the absolute pasting he took.

Seems Clubber Lang is real after all.

David Price won in 3 rounds but was down in the first according to the Beeb. Not sure whether the opponent was up to much.

I watched that fight, it looked like a forearm around the back of the head to me but the ref gave him a count. He won it at a stroll to be honest.

[Byrnie]

The steroids fucking with Briggs' head.

[Boss]

Shannon Briggs managed to lose a 12 round fight against Vitali by 15 rounds, without ever tasting the canvas... thats quite an accomplishment.

[Byrnie]

He is obviously broke. He was almost killed by Vitali.

Is Shannon Briggs just following Wladimir around everywhere he goes for no apparent reason?

[Bjornebye]

I dont bother at all with the heavyweight division. Had hopes for Price but I can't see him ever fulfilling the early promise now. 

 

The chisora/fury bout will be worth a laugh mind .... I hope they kill each other. Fury/Price is the one I want to see most though 

[Dr Nowt]

Yeah, the heavyweight scene has been well and truly fucked since Lewis left it, and even then it was a pale imitation of what it had been, but at least containing a a genuinely top class heavyweight. One more than it has now.
