Commonwealth Gold and Olympic Bronze aren't anything to be laughed at or derided.

Billy Joe Saunders is here in Thomond Park now. He and Andy Lee are almost ready for their first joint press conference for the bout on September 19th


Should be an entertaining fight and lots of talk here about Eubank jnr getting a shot at the winner.

Outstanding amateur who never cut it in the pro game. Isn't the first and won't be the last, but it doesn't diminish what he achieved as an amateur.

Floyd Mayweather
OFFICIALLY FIGHTING ANDRE BERTO

14 minutes ago BY TMZ STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

It's on ... Floyd Mayweather is officially set to square off with Andre Berto in September ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The two have been in talks for weeks ... but now we're told from both camps that it's a done deal and the two will fight in Vegas on September 12th.

We spoke with Berto who tells us, "It's a pleasure and honor to be in this position and I'm looking forward to capitalizing on every moment of it".

As we previously reported, there's some bad blood between the two -- with Berto claiming Mayweather had been crank calling his phone ... and he believes it was all over a woman.

Mayweather is 48-0. Berto is 33-3.

Story developing ...

Thats an absolutely pathetic choice, regardless if it's a non ppv or not. I'm in LA at the time so I may pop over, getting a cheap ticket will be easy now. But man, Berto is trash, lost 3 of his last 6, never even looks particularly good when winning. I wouldnt even be content with Khan or Brook fighting him, it's a terrible, terrible fight.

That Fury press conference was brilliant

I must admit he's really grown on me and he's absolutely spot on in a lot of what he says:

"Your jab-and-grab style - surely all of Europe wants to see you get beaten and the world will see you get beaten."






Unfortunately Klitschko is going to absolute **** him

[Doc_Piptorious]

Shame for Fury that his talent falls far short of his mouth.


Really funny though to hear Fury talk about another boxer being boring when he himself is awful to watch and generally as dull as they come inside the ring.

Fury should just be grateful that he was born when he was because only a decade or two ago his talent level would have seen him be nothing more than the novelty act journeyman he is.



Wonder what his list of excuses will be when the one dimensional one paced boring grab and jab 13 years his senior Klitschko beats him.


Fury = what Kevin McBride would have looked like in a piss weak heavy division.
