Guess utter scum are drawn to each other.

Ricky Hatton set to take on a large Mexican and once he finishes his tea fight Marco Antonio Barrera.

Taxman must be after Hatton.

Things like this are not even boxing. Just sparring sessions to get mugs to part with their money whilst up and coming boxers receive nowhere near as much for competitive fights and nowhere near the exposure

Surprised there has not been any chatter in here over this Saturday's a generation in the making superfight.

Was watching some of the footage of Brook sparring and I am glad he is going in with another washed up fighter and not a young sharp fighter.

Watching his interviews has me a tad concerned for the man as well, though maybe he was always someone with very basic english and who struggled to articulate what he is thinking, if not then he is very punchy and someone should be looking out for him.

He also seems to be very invested emotionally in this fight and seems to be taking every comment Khan makes very personally.


Khan on the other hand is the usual Khan. Comes across as a guy who thinks he is much better in the ring than he is and who thinks he was much better at world level than he ever was. Does nothing to dispel feelings that he is a thick but nasty minded individual.


Sky of course had talking heads in saying that the public training by Brook and Khan looked like that of top class fighters and made them out to be in amazing shape and that both were world class operators still.

Did hear that there is a rehydration clause in place with regards to the weigh in and their weights on fight night. Khan pulling another stroke if that is true as Brook is having a little trouble with the weight as is by the look of him.

I watched their 'Gloves are Off' at the weekend and it was singularly the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my life.

I'm missing the fight cos I'm taking my boy to see Back to the Future the Musical in the West End ...a much better bet imo.

Fwiw I'm going for a Brook UD.

Yeah I saw that show too. It was really bad to watch. Cringewothy and you felt embarrassed to watch it. Think sometimes a producer has to step in and say that this is not going to be any good for anyone.

Have to say I am hoping for a Brook win as I feel sorry for the guy after seeing his training and having listened to him in the various interviews.

Think he is not in a great place mentally with regards the fight and that it means too much to him if that makes sense.

Neither are boxers I have ever really rated, especially Khan, and neither have every been guys I rated as good blokes, again especially Khan but am not in the want Brook to get a win camp.


Never knew there was a BTTF musical. That sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Is it based on the first film or a mix of all three or is it a story done just for the musical?

[Shaggy]

Think it's the first film. Meant to be spectacular.

Enough musicals talk mind. This is a thread for real men.

Err, not sure how much traction this comment will get in the Boxing thread, as it is quite a derailing - but that Back to the Future musical looks amazing. I have seen the trailer on FB.

I went to see 'Bat out of Hell' with the Missus on Friday and it was great.

Musical theatre is great. BTTF is meant to be a mindblowing spectacle. Looks incredible huh. ****ing wants to be for £300 for two tickets.

Did you have a look at the undercard.

Think it may be the worst undercard I have ever seen.

I'd sooner pay money to watch the bums in this thread fight it out after six pints and kebab, than pay for that so called PPV.

WTF? You better have great seats for that and a swedish hooker thrown in
for good measure.

I was so sickened by the headline fight i didn't pay any attention to the rest of the card. I've not even bothered to open this weeks Boxing News as those two ****s are on the front cover.

As an aside i'm taking the kids to see the Oi Frog stage show in Glasgow in a few months. Not quite on the scale of Back To The Future but should be good none the less
