Best news I've heard all day. Hopefully Ola brings the heat this is a winnable fight for him but he'll no doubt fall just short as usual. Bit of a sparring partner mentality.

Don't let it slip away this time

He appears a very lazy, languid fighter, which is a shame. He has some serious power

Great news that channel 5 are pushing the boat out again.
Love me some terrestrial boxing.

His power definitely improved as did his technique after sparring the Klitschko's he started looking very promising but seems to of turned into the second coming of Kevin Johnson which sucks.
Seriously hope he makes the most of this against a very inconsistent and often vulnerable Hernandez

Its great, its not a bad wee card either should be some good action fights anyway.

channel 5 could be better if they got rid of the corporate nerd who presents it, get rid of bernstein and put some british boxers presenting/commenting with a sense of humour and who are opinionated.
