Shame the Macklin - Barker fight didnt go ahead, aswell as the Rhodes fight. Should be a good night of boxing though. ( Especially with Mosely , Alvarez and Ortiz in action later on in the night)

A few questions:

Who do you have to win each fight ?
Anyone know anything about the lad Maccarinelli is fighting ?
Anyone know the start time of the event ?

Cheers.

So looking through boxrec, Matthew Hall has took Rhodes' place to fight Konecny for the Euro title.

I've never seen Konecy fight, but i had a look through his record and he's only lost 3 times, a MD to Dziniziruk, pretty wide UD to Piccirillo (but had him down) and a split decision loss in a Euro title fight.

This could be a bit of a banana skin for Matthew Hall.

Is that on the sky BO broadcast?

I got Chisora by KO
Brook by KO
Clevery UD
De Gale to win - never seen his opponent before so dunno if KO or UD but Frank isnt gonna put him in with someone who can beat him yet
Macklin UD (Guesswork again - havent seen his opponent)
Enzo fight - who knows, he'll either win by KO or get KOd. Im going with Enzo to be KTFO
Hall UD - Unless Konecny just had a bad night on the only fight i watched of his (v Ionut Trandafir Ilie) Hall got this by UD

Think Mosley ect is gonna have to be an stream job mate. Be nice though if SKY stuck it on one of there channels since there earlier fights are on Box Office Il have to check the telly listings actually to see.


Might do a few bets on these, but il probably stay away from the Macarenllie fight..never know what to expect from him.

yeah im gonna do an accumulator on the 6 other fights, Brook and Chisora to win by KO, the rest just to win. Havent checked what odds its gonna be. Might put a few quid on Enzo to get KTFO as a single, he's the favourite so the odds would be alright to bet on that alone, and he wont **** up the accumulator if he wins.

Where's Kevin Mitchell at? I've read nothing about his next fight.

I'm surprised Frank Warren didn't put him on this card against some tomato can.

The Barker fight was the best of the lot so it's annoying it's not on and Rhodes is another a good name gone.
I think all the home fighters/obivous choices will win expect Hall.
Now the Barker fight is off, I'm most looking forward to Sexton Vs Derek.

Yeah it's about time Mitchell picked himself up and got his career going again.

Might be a stupid question this.

But it's not just a PPV for HD tv specifically, is it?

On thread, I have a feeling Jennings is going to upset Brook. I'm not sold on Brook, if he doesn't take Jennings out within 5, Jennings will take over. Brook looks stiff from the shoulders up to me and should present an inviting target to a mover like Jennings.
