Anyone know if the Magee V Kessler match is on anywhere on Saturday night?

Cheers for heads up whoever mentioned Broner. Will keep an eye on this one!

Missed this Eubank Jr fight. <a class="postlink" href="http://youtu.be/2Fq7Bv45tmM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://youtu.be/2Fq7Bv45tmM</a> Coming along nicely. Can't wait for a real tester for him. Billy Joe Saunders v Eubank Jr could be one of the next big british fights in my opinion.

Some entertaining undefeated fighters in the UK at the min. Not even touched on Khalid Yafai and Kell Brook.

Wow he can bang, can't he? He's a bit like a smaller Julian Jackson, who was probably the greatest one-punch KO specialist ever. And when you talk about knockouts, 'The Hawk' invariably knocked people out cold, not just down for a 10 count.
Check out his showreels on YouTube if you don't already know his work

Thoughts for tonight?

I'm going for Flintoff to be knocked out within 3 rounds - if he's lucky.

I reckon he will probably get 6-43 and maybe knock a ton as the outfield is quite quick today

Austin Trout vs Miguel Cotto

Spoiler

Didn't know much about Trout before the fight, safe to say I was impressed by him. Have to take notice of someone that can go and do that to cotto in NY.

Speaking of Trout last night:

I was really impressed with Trout too, I'd love to see him be the guy to take Canelo to school.

Eubank Jr had a good run out on Ch5 against Bradley Pryce on the Fury undercard. It can be played back on Sky via On Demand. Interestingly his team want more fights and he's back on Ch5 this Saturday. His dad says jr's sparring and fighting are only different because there is a score at end of one. Power isn't there yet and he's not elusive to hit, reminds me off a Eubank Sr/Kell Brook hybrid.

I like Eubank, was a very good test against BP, deffo shades of his old man, how much of that is natural I guess we'll see, sure he'll settle down into a very decent career.

Spot on mate I agree 100% with your post.

Me too, apart from the bold :-)

What can Frampton do when he is being avoided by fighters???? He needs to stay busy so he had more keep busy fights Hirales was durable and Frampton needed the rounds as he was koing people when he wanted he needed to get a good durable fighter and that was Hirales. I hate to say this about Jason Booth but he wasnt the same after he got beaten by Molitor in the world title fight. Won his comeback and since then has been beaten by Kiko by KO and then Booth he was finished which is sad to say it.
As for Jamie Arthur 1 fight a year says it all it was a gimmie for Quigg but Quigg was floored by Arthur during the fight question marks or not but Arthur isnt a big puncher. Granted Munroe but I havnt seen or heard as bad a report on a Munroe fight in a long long time. Molitor was a good fight for Frampton to get after Kiko pulled out and it was a good win going off both records Frampton has the biggest win out of the 2 beating a former World Champion.

As for Fury v Price it would be a good fight a real 50 / 50 for me. Whoever has the best chin will win it. Also Price isnt getting that much tested need to see more of him but he has the basics to do great things in my opinion. I would put Mike Perez the Cuban based in Cork into the mix too there could be some good fights between all 3 as all 3 are young.

Frampton beats Quigg, frampton will win a world title and prob be around the level for a few years.

Quigg might win one but it'll be one and that's it. Quigg is going to be a sort of Moore, Macklin, Barker level. A nearly man but still a talent.

And price Beats fury all day long, price is by far the more skilled, powerful, harder hitting, better controlled fighter. Fury is an accident waiting to happen.

Regarding Macklin he is being promoted well in the US and I wouldnt be shocked to see Mack the Knife winning a World title. He wont do anything against Martinez but the other champions dont look as strong to me. So there could be a winable fight for Macklin.

Quigg's win over Munroe was far more impressive than Frampton's over Molitor, and that is for one reason and one reason only....

Munroe actually had an interest in being in the ring. Molitor didn't.

Trout looked good. Scorecards were a bit harsh i thought, although he did take over towards the back end of the fight.

No need to rush him in with Alvarez yet though. Baysangurov or Bundradge would be the way to go to get him another belt and a bit more exposure, although personally i'd like to see how he deals with somebody like Angulo or Kirkland.
