Pacquiao v Bradley II April 12th

http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/pacquiao-bradley-ii-235478

I expect Manny to win this one.

[Gibbo]

Good fight, Manny needs to show a step up.

Fully expect *another* JMM fight if he wins, then he'll angle back at Mayweather.

Marquez has already said he wants a Bradley rematch or he'll retire.

Good bill at the echo arena on March 15th.

Kell Brook, Paul Smith, Callum Smith, Stephen Smith, Rocky Fielding, Kevin Mitchell and more.

Can't wait.

Depends who they're fighting. Is this Brook's world title shot or another final, final, final eliminator?

The quality of the recent Matchroom cards have been atrocious.

I saw Callum Smith in Glasgow on the undercard of the Ricky Burns / Beltran fight and he looked a good prospect. He needs to step up though. You can only learn so much when beating Polish bus drivers.

Just checked Callum Smith's Boxrec page and they've still got him fighting a TBA on the 15th of March

Its a 'warm up' before fighting Shaun Porter for Brook. Not seen him fight live before so looking forward to it regardless.

Callum Smith I have high hopes for. Definitely the most promising out of the Smith bros. The plan is for Paul Smith to win the British title outright that night, so that he can then vacate it and Callum can make his step up.

Rocky Fielding vs Tony Dodson should be a good fight.

i'd imagine they'd put Bellew on the card as well?

[Shaggy]

i'd imagine they'd put Bellew on the card as well?

Surely he hasn't recovered from the absolute ****ting he received last time out

Yeah mate he's on there - first fight at Cruiser.

Surely he hasn't recovered from the absolute ****ting he received last time out

He's never going to be world champ, imo. He's the level below - too good for Europe, not good enough for world.

Froch vs Chavez Jr is close to being agreed.

Chavez Jr will come join at cruiser but Froch should win handly

Carl Froch statement - 24/01/2014


"There has been plenty of speculation over the last few weeks regarding my future. As it stands we are looking closely at two options George Groves and Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr. Yesterday, we made a seven figure offer to George Groves for a second fight that would have seen him earn around double that of the first. Disappointingly, George rejected this offer so we are continuing our talks with Top Rank and HBO regarding Chavez Jnr. I understand the demand for the Groves fight in the UK, but also the demand in the US for the Chavez fight. Talks are on-going and no doubt some further news will break soon. I’m happy to fight anyone, as I have done throughout my entire career."

groves was going ape at froch yesterday on twitter

**** me that's some horrific match making

Can only be a keep busy fight for Fury. He'll have been out the ring for around a year by the time of the fight.
