General Boxing Chit Chat

Hard to see past JMM on points. It's obvious Manny struggles with his counter-punch ability and I expect to see a similar fight to the one between Cotto and Trout. Manny will go hunting for him, but will get picked off and grow frustrated. I just can't see JMM being dragged into a tow-to-toe war, which is obviously what Manny would be hoping for. I hope Manny wins, but would be somewhat surprised if he did.  

As for more domestic action, the Matchroom bill has sadly been ruined by cancellations. An easy night for all, none more so than headliner Barker who is frighteningly superior to Kerry [no] Hope. Good fight between Magee and Kessler though. Although I strongly fancy the Dane to take it.

james degale v fulgencio zuniga on channel 5 aswell

Great from Barker there, good on him! Hope he gets himself back to another World title shot, after that performance should be well on his way.

wezzywebb

Agreed,hope he stays fit,

Tetlee

Looked stronger than in the past didn't he? Paired with his already great accuracy he should be a real force. Reminded me more of Froch than Barker at times there.

wezzywebb

Certainly did,think sky hit it on the head FRUSTRATION !!,really hope he stays fit and get another title shot

Tetlee

Felt for Magee there, those were some sickening body shots from Kessler.

Froch v Kessler II next year should be a real barnstormer. I'll be straight in line for tickets for that one.

wezzywebb

A  proper 50/50 fight

wezzywebb

I,ll probably regret it,but earlier on i put £20 on marquez to win by ko,tko @8/1,i,m blaming the smirnoff in advance

Tetlee

I'd say good bet that one. He surely needs a KO if he's finally going to be given his win over Pacquiao, lets face it he must have already given up on a point win by now.
