rubbafish Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/6928397.stmEvander Holyfield is facing Sultan Ibragimov for the WBO Heavyweight title in October as WBA Chagaev has pulled out of the unification fight. Wow, this is almost like Rocky Balboa.Ibragimov AND Matt Hardy? Man is really out there to slay the big guns!Been confirmed that Felix "Tito" Trinidad has signed a fight contract to face Roy Jones Jr. No confirmed date or venue but it is expected to be January at MSG. Should be an interesting one. For those with an interest in the European scene, check out the Bernard Dunne fight next Saturday (25th) on Setanta against Kiko Martinez. I tell you, this kid can bang and is a great prospect. And then it is only 2 weeks until the Witter fight... bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbafish Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 And now Carl Froch has been confirmed to fight Robin Reid in Nottingham on 2 November. I might travel north for that one as I like Froch. And before that there is Oakey Vs. Magee as well. Should be a good run to Xmas on the boxing scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylin_and_Profilin Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I also like Froch coupled by the fact that Robin Reid is one of the most arrogant and dislikeable people there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheP Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 What time is the Witter fight scheduled to start? And is Holyfield-Ibragimov going to be on British TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbafish Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 What time is the Witter fight scheduled to start? And is Holyfield-Ibragimov going to be on British TV?I don't think anyone has picked up the Holyfield fight yet and to be honest, I doubt anyone will. Setanta or Eurosport might if it is cheap enough but can;t see it myself.The Witter fight belltime is about 10.15 I think. Either way it is going to be a cracker! I am really looking forward to this fight (although not as much as Froch Vs. Reid which has the potential to be a belter!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickfan Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Anybody know if a Nicky Booth comeback is on the cards? Know all about Nicky's troubles but as a big fan of both brothers just wanted to know if a comeback was on the cards which has been mentioned.

Know all about Nicky's troubles but as a big fan of both brothers just wanted to know if a comeback was on the cards which has been mentioned.I haven't heard anything really since he got out of clink. I am not sure if his application for a boxing license was turned down or what but he has completely vanished off the radar.Great result for Witter last night. ANOTHER step closer to the match people want but won't hapen unless Hatton loses against Mayweather and wants a draw to win back the public. 7 years unbeaten, he really doesn't get the respect as a world class british boxer.

He was entertaining on the mic aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryboy Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It was a very good fight. Unlike most, I don't dislike Jermian Taylor, he hasn't had roaring success or been particularily exciting as middleweight champ, he he took on a lot of tough fights in a row, and except the second Hopkins fight, I thought he deserved the win in all of them. But I think Pavlik will be a nice antidote to the effect Taylors had on the division, and with an exciting slugger on top, the division will recover form it's recent slump.

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Is Pacquiao v Barrera anywhere on UK TV next week? That should be immense, looking forward to it for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
