Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 27, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah hopefully they'll pick those fights up as well. Great news on Rios/Alvarado. After the traditionally slow start to the year, business is picking up for boxing from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 We got a good couple of months coming up. The fight this Saturday hopefully will be a springboard of what to expect as it should produce fireworks. Anyone watch the Barry Mcguigan special on ITV tonight? I haven't seen yet but will check out later, I heard it was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 Was it called Sports Life Stories? If so it was on ITV4 a couple of months back. It is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah it was the same one, I watched it again and enjoyed just as much. Â I am not a Barry fan as it happens, but it is a cracking documentary. The Amir Khan one is really good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise it had been on before. I'm halfway through and as you say its very good. Has there been many boxing ones been shown that you know off? I remember, Benn/McClellen and Khan.

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 SKY Sports feature series 'Sporting Heroes' last week featured Johnny Nelson interviewing Tim Witherspoon. Â Decent watch and he comes across well, one the plus side doesn't sound like a patient which is sadly the case with a lot of retired boxers these days as i watched an interview with Meldrick Taylor recently and could have cried given he was so messed up from all the hits he has taken to the head over his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah Witherspoon's in good nick. He's done some stuff with ESPN fairly recently, think he was in studio for a Klitschko fight on there late last year. I like big Tim. Had some underrated fights as well, especially the one against Larry Holmes. Â Yeah, that's the one. I didn't realise it had been on before. I'm halfway through and as you say its very good. Has there been many boxing ones been shown that you know off? I remember, Benn/McClellen and Khan. Â Yeah they're the only recent ones I know of which ITV put out. Still haven't seen the Khan one. Â Quick question about BoxNation - my mate wants it but he's not a Sky subscriber. He's got a Sky box with just the free channels. Can he still subscribe to BoxNation on it's own?

I still haven't seen the Khan one yet either, hopefully it be on again soon. Â You can indeed order BoxNation when not a Sky subscriber. Just tell to enter his details on the BoxNation website and should be done within 5 minutes. They've done away with contracts, but you do have to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Got me tickets to see Haye in Manchester for the old mans Birthday. Â I am hoping we get Haye vs Povertkin, but I reckon it will be the Finnish guy who got a gift over Del Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah Haye vs Povetkin sounds good, Helenius is awkward and not very pleasing to watch. Â So Haye's fight, Price vs Thompson 2 and UFC: Silva vs Weidman all on the same night. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lawrence Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Robert guererro has been arrested for trying to board a plane in new york with a gun. It wasnt loaded apparently. But gun laws in new york are apparently quite strict and he could possibly do time judging by what some yanks are saying and the mayweather fight could be in jeopardy.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 What an absolute plank. On the verge of the biggest payday of his entire career and he tries to get on a plane with a gun. How painfully thick must he be to think that would end well?
