Any news on how Brian Rose got on?

I'd guess he led with his snout and lost

[aidybwfc]

Frankie gavin and Sam Eggington one of the best fights I've seen for a long time

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

Anybody know on which channel the Kovalev v Ward fight is being shown?

[Morizio]

Sky sports 1 but it's Sunday morning

[Biggish Dave]

Gonna be a crackin fight. A few of the lads have gone over for it. I'm gonna go for Ward on points - SD, a very close fight

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

Will record & watch when I get up...looking forward to his one.

I think I've only seen one ward fight

 

The one against Froch

 

Be amazed if he loses

[aidybwfc]

Kovalev for me on points. Be a good close fight someone's undefeated record going

[deane koontz]

Enjoyed that fight.

 

Very close.

Heard the debate tonight whether Tyson would have beat Ali when both in their prime. Consensus was Tyson would have won. Me thinks Ali would have had him in eight.

My mate just posted a video of Tyson v Berbick on his FB. Brutal!

 

Editinking for any boxing fans who fancy a look at his Youtube channel

[jayjayoghani]

vividly remember this interview from Grandstand in 1987

 

pretty sure they delayed Football Focus for him!

 

Grandstand starting 12.15, Football Focus 12.20 every week without fail...

 

for the baddest man on the planet, couldn't believe how softly spoken and articulate he was. it's a great watch

Haye v Bellew on 4th March. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw that.

 

Haye in the 12th. Second that is not round

[Sweep]

Haye will punch Bellew all over the place. Easy win within 5

[Biggish Dave]

It's 9/4 for Haye to win in rounds 1-3. Very generous odd, that's as near a certainty you'll get in boxing

[Sweep]

Maggie Tate is usually good on this stuff. It'll be interesting to hear his thoughts.

 

I can't see beyond an easy Haye win.....but then i know nob all

[Biggish Dave]

I've been a big Haye fan during the years and watched many of his fight live including 3 trips abroad so I'm a bit biased anyway but Bellew is very easy to hit, once Haye tags him, it's good night Vienna.

[Casino]

Obviously you don't want to see any lasting damage but I do hope Haye takes long enough to hurt the scouse dick

[QFPants]

Safe to assume this isn't on Dave TV?

[royal white]

Can they both not lose? 

 

I think Haye will win around 7-8 but I will be cheering on Bellew....2 of the sports biggest tits

[Alf Hartigan]

Can they both not lose? 

 

I think Haye will win around 7-8 but I will be cheering on Bellew....2 of the sports biggest tits

but both light years behind Chris Eubank snr and jnr for that particular title

[jeep]

A decent big un always beats a decent little un....

Or summat like that....

[Traf]

I hope Haye knocks the Scouse cunt out very quickly.

My speciality is backing the foreigner against the Brit who isn't as good as people think. Klitscko beating Haye, who embarrassed himself as I knew he would, paid for our holiday that year. 

 

I'd like Bellew to win as Haye is detestable, one of the worst humans ever. I'm not quite seeing how he can though, even against a talentless fraud like Haye.. It will be boring I think and the build up unbearable.
