He is that overhyped almost everyone thinks he is ****, glass jaw etc etc

I think he actually is properly respected as a fighter in the US only.

Well he's been sparked out twice which doesn't bode well.

He's a good fighter but he doesn't think in the ring and over commits, it's good to watch but he's a level below some of the fighters in the division IMO.

That being said it's a pretty strong division.

[RichC]

Talking of styles Khan taking on Marquez could be a cracking fight to watch

Is Joshua headlining that bill tonight?

[Chazza]

He is.

[spud_gun]

Pretty astounded at that.

It's his first pro fight. Haven't promoters learned anything for the Audley debacle?

[Chazza]

Nothing like a bit of pressure and over hyping the lad is there?

[spud_gun]

I know. The fella he's fighting is by all accounts fairly decent. Not the usual tomato can that's brought over for these types of fights.

Might tune in later to see how Mitchell and Quigg get on

[marcus50bucks]

Judah v Malignaggi apparently on December 7th. I think the atmosphere for this fight will be electric especially if the fight is held in New York. Battle of Brooklyn

Ortiz should be making a comeback too in December.

Got tickets for the Commonwealth games boxing

some of the prelims and the semi finals

[Gibbo]

Pretty astounded at that.

It's his first pro fight. Haven't promoters learned anything for the Audley debacle?

Did the same with Campbell didn't they?

[Chazza]

I know. The fella he's fighting is by all accounts fairly decent. Not the usual tomato can that's brought over for these types of fights.

Quigg could have a tough one, didn't realise has had been given the WBA title.

The Klitschko fight is also tonight and then Cotto v Rodriquez at 2am

[spud_gun]

Yeah the boxing season is shaping up to be a good one.

[Chazza]

Did the same with Campbell didn't they?

Yeah they did but this has been hyped more than that one and he will be in front of 20,000 if it is sold out.

[Vermilion]

joshua has the Bruno... 'hmmm'.
