I'm gonna have to stick to my prediction of Marquez UD mate! He's an absolute monster at lightweight, not sure Katsidis can deal with his counter punching. It'll have to go some to beat the Lopez/Marquez fight from a couple of weeks ago to be fight of the year.

I've lost faith in Sky now, can't see them taking this fight tbh.

why? boxing most weeks and they made the idiots pay for haye/harrison and gave us pacquiao/margarito for free!

Apart from Pacquiao/Mayweather they take virtually no big fights on.

For example, the rematch between Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez (P4P 3 and 4) is this weekend and Sky haven't even attempted to get it. They didn't get Lopez/Marquez a couple of weeks ago.

They put Mayweather/Pac on normal Sky and all the British boxers on PPV. That's your lot for Sky's boxing coverage.

aiming for the casual fanbase, they've had the Klitchzko's too before now.

For any Irish boxing fans the Williams fight is on Setanta Ireland at 2 am Sunday morning. Also RTE have Irish boxing on aswell from 9.30 with Murray fighting a top 15 ranked fighter in 1 of the world rankings WBO Latino champion Claudinei Lacerda who has 9 KOs from 13 fights and he lost 1 fight. This should be a good fight.
Murray is looking at getting a fight with John Murray if he is still holding onto the European title but I feel he will move on up to World title level first.

Interesting exchange between Adam Booth and the Klitschkos' man on Ringside this morning.

The Klitschkos reckon that a unification bout would compel the authorities to overrule any mandatory fixtures and basically accused the Haye camp of hiding behind the mandatories to grab as much cash as possible before taking them on. The timing of Haye's impending retirement is pure brinkmanship. Booth also seem to imply that Haye wants Wladimir rather than Vitali, despite the latter being 'ready to go' as far as the Klitschkos are concerned, for that 50-50 purse split that the Haye camp seem so keen on shifting on account of Haye's escalating profile.

Despite his insistence on public talks, Booth seemed evasive to me.
