Martin vs Joshua: The Gloves Are Off

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, 

adrian broner v ashley theophane on spike (repeat) saturday

and so , we have another great fight on "free" tv this weekend, so Controversial outspoken fighter Broner takes on UK`s Ashley Theophane for the WBA  "super" light welterweight title, although you may have known the result before you watch it, or if not spike will be showing the fight on saturday evening, should be a good scrap, there has been alot of hype made up of this fight Theophane being managed and promoted by TMT (the money team) also known as Floyd Mayweather promotions, 

David Haye erm WTF....

ok and so, Mr Haye has finally said who is fighting.... its lhvlhvckjhv...... yuuppp never heard of him.... i wrote a piece a while ago about Haye being cocky .... now i think he is taking the piss....really so you build up a card at the O2 at least a month before ... and you give us jhvfhvhfl.... i am not even wasteing my time ... haye step it up ... anyone can fight on FREE tv but make it worth while!!!

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.

This Weeks Muhammad Ali Quote is......

Lee Selby Added to AJ undercard

and so, Lee Selby V Eric Hunter for the IBF featherweight Championship Selcy will be looking for a better type of fight compared to his last outing in the U.S.A. It wasn`t the best of fights for his first defence in the states but we all know that Lee is a class act and am sure he will be back to his stylish self on a MASSIVE night of boxing on APRIL 9th!

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?? 

Anthony Joshua v David Haye build up has started early

as so on the SKY SPORTS website we have Anthony Joshua being interviewed and asked the question are you ready for David Haye//Answered "BRING IT ON" then David Haye replying with a Video of his own.. OK so it is March 2016.... AJ hasnt even won the IBF Heavyweight Title YET and the PROMO of Haye v Joshua has started, dont be fooled in thinking these are random videos and interviews and replies this is managed behind the scenes to make a Wembley Stadium 80,000 sellout of the these 2 Big hitters. Enjoy the Ride folks it will be quite a lengthy one to build up PPV sales and Wembley ticket sales. Not gonna lie though does give a little tingle downstairs when i think of the fight actually happening ;#0

David Haye responds to Anthony Joshua ON SKYSPORTS

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!!

Luis Ortiz is an 18 stone middleweight!

an so, i have just watched the Ortiz v Thompson Heavywight fight, and oh my oh my, Ortiz moved like someone half his weight, this can can fight, I know Thompson is a veteran to say the least, but if you have not heard of Luis Ortiz you need to watch this fight and then you will see what i mean. I don`t think he has done himself any favours though as i can`t see many if the big big names taking him on. He has power, and speed and his footwork is amazing. I know he had a great Amateur  Career and the Cubans are renowned for this.
If Ortiz gets a chance at a world title he WILL WIN... i think he would beat them all at the moment but i don`t think anyone will fight him. I hope i am wrong about this keep an eye out for
KING KONG LUIS ORTIZ!

Ok so both have just suffered defeats Lee v Saunders for his WBO belt and Cotto v Canelo for his WBC middleweight belt. That would be a good summer showdown for fight fans and a ticket seller so we shall see..

kal yafai v dixon flores boxing

come on Kal

Flores down in 30 secs

BOOM BOOM BOOM no getting up from that Flores down and out

wow inside a round ...
 what a body shot

geez look out for these brothers !!!! really 

Gamal Yafai v Bobby jenkinson

an so great scrap so far but Gamal getting the the better of the fight great body work from Gamal as challenger, Gamal hitting the target, but round 4 ref called in the doc for a cut above Yafai left eye all ok, Yafai dominated round 4 bob and weave great body shots and in total contol,
BUT SERIOUS cut above left eye there is no way this is going the distance either way..
RND 5, from a fight fan this is a great fight both going for it, Jenkinson struggling with range, great upper cut from Yafai,

Tell you what better than some of the PPV fights last week

i dont mind watching longer fights like this both giving all

HUGE HUGE right hand for Gamal right at the end of the 6th round. Jenkinson has taken some punishment.

RND 7 Gamal Yafai started with an absolute onslaught of punches from the the bell...

how is Jenkinson able to survive

enough Jenkinson stays down corner throw in the towel

this GUY is special future World Champ

Hughie Fury going down the WBC route

and so Hughie Fury gets a shot at the WBC International heavyweight Title on March 26th which will be shown live on SPIKE TV with after 9pm on CHANNEL 5, the same card Eubank Jnr takes on Nick Blackwell for the British middleweight title.

Its always a bonus when its free to watch right?,

Fury will take on 'Dominican Dynamite' Nagy Aguilera (no relation to Christina) Nagy has been a Pro since 2009 and is known as a tough fighter who fights on the front foot and can also bang pretty hard. On the flip side it will be Fury`s first time stepping up to 12 rounds.
A few months ago Deontay  Wilder WBC Heavyweight Champ called out Hughie Fury but on very short notice i.e one month. which was obviously turned down at the time by Peter Fury (Dad and Trainer to Hughie and trainer to Tyson Fury) i know the team are very keen on putting Hughie in with some very big names and Peter (quite obviously) rates Hughie very highly.
It should be an interesting fight and if he pulls through it (which the odds are stacked high in his favour) then i expect to see Hughie in some big fights sooner rather than later

International fights Saturday 5th March

world series boxing latest

and so with RIO Olympics fast approaching York Hall staged  the latest fixture with the British Lionhearts beating the USA 4-1 thus extending their unbeaten run to four fixtures.
