Adrian Broner stripped of title

and so, not so surprisingly   Adrian Broner falled to make the weight and yesterdays weigh in ahead of his clash with Ashely Theophane , looks like the fight will still go ahead but Theophane being the only one able to win the WBA title. I will be watching it later so we will see, 

Chris eubank Jnr for me

ok so, there hasn`t been much worth talking about the past couple of weeks, i will reserve judgement on Lucas Browne and his blood test rest until something more official has been put out there. I am looking forward to the Middleweight Title fight more than any other card that on Saturday as stated previously.
Expect a great dust up for free, i am interested to see what path Chris Jnr will take after and what channel he will be fighting on.
Will Matchroom promote him again, will Frank Warren. well not according to both Bosses, will he go down the Al Hayman route in the USA?. like what James Degale is at the moment.

enjoy!

Kell Brook or Chris Eubank Jnr who to watch

and so, this coming Saturday 26th March we have 2 fight cards going on, SKY have #allofthelights and Kell Brook defending his IBF Title against the well known Kevin Bizier (the guy who got beat by Jo Jo Dan twice who Brook beat up last year!) so that should be a close fight NOT!
and on SPIKE TV from 7pm then going over to Channel 5 at 9, we have Chris Eubank Jnr v Nick Blackwell for the British Middleweight Title, with Hughie Fury also on the card.

Well i know what card i will be watching and it won`t be SKY. I would be really interested to see the viewing numbers for SKY v SPIKE/Channel 5.
I recently cancelled my Sky Sports package as there have been so many PPV fights recently it was costing a fortune!. If a card interests me i will just get a NOW TV day pass to watch it. All the next big fights coming are all PPV anyway. Joshua V Martin etc. I wonder how many other people will do what i have done?
I am really looking forward to the Eubank fight he is never boring thats for sure, unlike yawn Kell Brook in recent fights.

David Haye confirms talk with Lucas Browne!

and so, I have just watched David Haye confirm that he is in talk with Team Lucas Browne, He stated that he is talking with some terrestrial tv stations about money and what he could offer Browne to come to the UK and fight on the May 21st card @the O2 . Which tickets are already on sale for (go figure) If the the numbers reported by DAVE for Haye`s last fight then Peak Audiences of 3.2 million were recorded. So for an advertising/sponsorship point there should be money available. Which would be great news for Boxing fans being able to watch a BIG name fighter on regular TV without having to pay extra.

Nigel Benn wants a 50/50 split and Wembley showdown

an so, Nigel Benn has been back in the press about the Eubank v Benn saga, he has said that if the fight takes place he want s a 50/50 split not 70/30. So it seems that Chris Eubank Snr has told Been he wants 70% of the purse if the fight were to take place. I still think what i said in an earlier post that Eubank is edging towards a Double bill with Chris Eubank Jnr on the same card. This is only my personal opinion and there is not fact to it. But again i would be surprised if this were  the Master plan. So we will see if the 2 once great champions will be more like Chumpions if the fight does take place. Although how old was George Foreman when he won the heavyweight title second time around well he was 45... so anything is possible right?? 

Muhammad Ali Exhibition at the O2 arena

click on the link above to take you to the Muhammad Ali exhibition at the O2 i haven`t been so cant comment much about it. But its about The Greatest Boxer to have lived so it must be Great Right!!!!!

Billy Joe Saunders takes on erm Max Bursak who the eff

and so, It has been announced that Billy Joe Saunders will defend the WBO Middleweight title againt the well known erm Max Bursak. Yes thats right the one the only Max Bursak!! Never heard of him?? well ME EITHER!!!!! i don`t think this is even a mandatory. Frank Warren has picked this guy out!!!! I know Kell Brook has fought nobodies since he won the IBF Welterweight Title but all but Gavin they have been mandatory`s. Bursak (32-4-1 KO15) hardly a world title prospect. It annoys me when world title holders decide to take on nobodies (no disrespect to the fighters) but when people are paying good money wether it be through subscriptions or paying to go and see the fight they should at least take on a name that is known! I will bet that the copperbox arena wont be full on April 30th and if it is its because Frank Warren will be standing outside giving away tickets to get in.

so put in your diary folks (i won`t be) April 30th Billy Joe Saunders v Max Bursak Copperbox Arena.. Defo a you tube moment for me!!

Michael Rooney v Marcus FFrench (yes double eff) boxing

For the Midlands Area Lightweight Ttile

Luis "King Kong" Ortiz plans a Knockout performance

Luis Ortiz (24-0-KO21)the Heavyweight danger man says "Tony said that he is Godzilla. I didn`t see the movie, but on Saturday night King Kong is going to beat Godzilla".(quote Sky Sports)
Tony Thompson (40-6-KO27) has 2 world title defeats against Wladimir Klitschko, He is probably better know here in the UK as the guy who beat Heavyweight prospect David Price twice!
Thompson later tested positive for a banned substance the BBOC put an 18 month ban on him.
i do like Ortiz would like to see against AJ sometime in the near future.

This weeks MUHAMMAD ALI quote of the week is......

Kell Brook v Bizier another mandatory another

ok so i like Kell Brook but has not had a decent fight since winning the IBF title 18 or so months ago.. ok there have been issues stabbed in the leg a month after winning it then had a mandatory then Gavin!! the rib injury now another mandatory.. another guy chasing the other guy (Amir Khan) if he is not careful he is going to go down as "Kell was he world champ?" after this fight he needs a Big big name to prove himself to the fight fans and i think he needs it for himself. After seeing Khan taking a super fight in the states there must be a bit of envy in there. 

Benn v Eubank 3? drop me out

So a while ago there was talk about Benn V Eubank 3 ... i know right! well that died off... then a couple of weeks ago Benn said that he is up for it and is fitter than he ever has been ...and if Eubank wants to fight he has the next 2 months to seal the deal..
Eubank was asked about the at Jnrs presser and said when the time is right he will be talking to broadcasters about ... as i said before if Donald Trump blah blah..

now if i were a betting man ahem..;) i would say that English (boxer formally known as Eubank Snr) is angling for a joint fight bill with himself v Benn and Jnr on the card with some big name as well.

simples  

pro boxers in the Olympics WTF!

so some top bod wants to allow Pro boxers to fight in the Olympics!! so GGG or Pac or Fury can fight amateurs .. why have an amateur system if you want to do that? whats the point? its silly that its even being talked about really.. but in a world where Donald Trump looks like he is inthe running to be the next President of the USA... anything can happen... for me though i think it would be terrible for the future of boxing.. hopefully someone just wanted some air time! 

David Haye Cocky or clever #hayeday

So David Haye made a comeback recently against erm... erm... yeah him, anyway blew him away in the 1st round. The fight was shown on DAVE yes DAVE and held at the O2 i London. O2 sold out i hear it was 3 million or so viewers on telly not bad for a fighter out for 3 yrs.
Now here is my question not long after he announced he was fighting again the tickets are on sale... and he is fighting ...... as of today 2/03/2017 we do not know!! but people are still buying tickets its not going to be for a title and not going to be a massive name. I wouldn't buy a ticket to see a fight when i didn't know who the other person was fighting. Anyway will be looking out to see who is announced when he feels like telling us.
oh and what channel will it be on CO
MEDYCENTRAL?? :}

Quigg Frampton rematch ?

Ok so i had my money on Quigg to beat Frampton on Saturday 29th Feb, i thought he would step up and his tank anf power be too much for Frampton, i know EVERYONE was pretty much behind Frampton but hey gotta go with your gut. 

I am afraid to say i was totally wrong he Quigg was out boxed by Frampton he was a little like a rabbit caught in headlights i know he broke hos jaw in the 4th i think he said, which would explain alot. He did come alive in the last couple of rounds but to little to late i am afraid. 

I read on twitter that Joe Gallagher has said that they want a rematch would fight Frampton next and would move up to featherweight if Frampton does. 

To me that would be a mistake if he got beaten again it would seriously hurt Quiggs stock nevermind hos confidence, i hope its not another Fighter chasing a fighter and not concentrating on their own career.

Adam Booth and Eubank Jnr in or out

Also at Eubank v Blackwell presser Adam Booth was notably absent from the top table, Kugan Cassius from IFLTV did an interview with Adam Booth on Saturday 29th of April and was very cagey when asked about future "things". James Helder from IFLTV asked the question, "there are rumours on twitter that Booth has left the Eubank Team? English (the boxer formally known as Chris Eubank snr) asked where he had heard it and to me (after watching many episodes of Lie to ME) read the body language as " How did  you find out already i was going to use that in my next twitter Gaff!!

Anyway if i were a betting man Ahem! i would bet that Booth will not be in Eubanks corner on the  26th of March. Then again i could be wrong.....
