Raging Bull: My Story from LaMotta as I mentioned above was excellent. Sugar Ray Leonard: The Big Fight was also quite good. I hear that Johnny Tapia is one is great as is de la Hoya'a so I'll definitely keep an eye out for them. Calzaghe's is pretty dull, some interesting insights though about how promoters rip off fighters.

Think you nailed it when you said it was an overly excitable piece.


Canelo has always carried a fair bit of muscle. Look at pics of him before the Kirkland fight, the Khan fight or the Chavez fight. He went from lots of muscle to a slightly more lean muscled look and that was with him having to make the catchweight limits.

When he fights at a full blown middleweight limit he always looks bigger and more heavily muscled.

My guess is that he is finding it easy to make the weight for this fight and come fight night he will be carrying more weight than in some of his other fights but it is a weight he is very comfortable fighting at at the same time.

Cheers Jaco.

Good news. Going to have to set the alarm for this one.

[Shaggy]

I cannot ****ing wait. Anyone know of any good build up shows online?

[Zapater]

I'll definitely be waking up, there's nothing on the undercard that jumps out or gets me excited to watch the entire card.

I dreamt last night that Golovkin won by UD in a dull fight by just outboxing him for 12 rounds without throwing a punch in anger. I think it's safe to say it won't be like that on fightnight.

So hard to call this one. Heart says GGG but head says age and recent fights mean Saul will take it late on.

I know some reckon Alvarez can win by body shots but Gennady can land some brutal power downstairs as well. Can't wait for it.

Don't even think CM ever stooped this low.

Thought I'd send the missus a bit of hype surrounding the fight as I'll be setting an alarm for half three on Sunday morning and I don't want her thinking I'm a maniac.

Her response: You don't often get ginger Mexicans.

There's actually quite a few ginger Mexicans! Those Celts like to travel

Looking forward to the Billy Joe Saunders fight. I rate him highly. Love to watch him box. He's got a great boxing brain.

Willie Munro Jr is the nephew of the Willie Munro that beat Marvin Hagler!

Boxnation can fack off putting GGG Canelo on PPV

I'll be downloading it the morning after.

[spud_gun]

You rather it was on Sky Box Office?

Willie Munro Jr is the nephew of the Willie Munro that beat Marvin Hagler!

He's actually preparing for a fight in a professional way for once, getting his diet and conditioning right combined with a proper training camp for a change.

Think it will help him massively going forward.

I was backing Canelo but watching some GGG fights on YouTube this morning I am going to change my mind....his natural power is just frightening
