I can remember him having to fill in for 2 hours last year,the poor sod.

I hope Price has worked on his footwork.
Here we go.

And there we went.

And there we went.

Just what he needed,time to step back up in class,but I have my doubts just think he isn't right in the head.

That was a great fight.

Groves and Froch on May 31st then - should be a good one.

The Ricoh will be desperate to get it.

I fancy Groves to win this time.

No blue and white stripey sheep in the family then?  I have a couple of them in mine.

Didn't get to see the heavyweights this weekend, has Fury started to look like a boxer yet?  He's got a very impressive record and deserves some respect for it but his technique has always looked abysmal to me, just wondering if 10months without a fight has given him time to focus on it a bit more rather than just relying on his height and power.  He's still calling out Klitschko but he doesn't seem to be in that class for me, maybe the lack of quality in the division in general is part of the problem though.

Looking forward to Froch vs Groves again, I really enjoyed the last fight I think it'll be close again but Froch might take it a little more seriously this time.

[dave.woodhall]

We allowed one, as an experiment.

They were two strange fights. Fury was well on top but he was horrendously out of shape and clowned around too much. Chisora was just boring - his opponent is talented but didn't seem to want to be in there while. Chisora couldn't/wouldn't step up to stop him.

Fury's great box office; he's exciting and there's always the chance he'll get caught. Chisora has managed to lose the British title, then European, then world, then to Haye, but still keeps a top ten ranking and tops bills.
