Miguel Cotto becomes a 3 weight World Champion stopping Yuri Foreman in the 9th round. I've not seen the fight, but an expected result for me.

It was a right fight. Cotto vs Rhodes next?

Khan set to fight Joel Casamayor on July 31st by the looks of things. I think Khan is probably catching Casamayor at the right time. He's 38 now, but he's still got power (he's KOed Katsidis), so he'll still be a tough oponent for Khan.

Froch-Abraham looks like its going to be held in Montreal (Canada) in September.

Seven British boxers through to the quarter-finals of the European Championships and only one win away from a guaranteed medal. Great effort by Rob McCracken, would almost certainly have been eight if Bradley Saunders hadn't been stopped on cuts when leading comfortably in his fight.

Rather than warm-up in his dressing room before his next fight, Haye is going to take on Harrison.

The walk to the ring, the introductions and then just enough time for Haye to say "boo" and Fraudley to run away and hide should do it.

I love how Harrison is blasting Haye for facing washed-up Americans. Who's on your record again exactly Audrey? Losses to Dominick Guinn and Martin Rogan FFS.

Apparently Jamie Murray wants Khan too, not sure it'll happen mind.

It's all about the money by the looks of it, both Haye and Harrison's stock have never been higher at this moment in time so it makes sense for them to get it on now before either one of them takes another fight. Haye would wipe the floor with him.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:15 pm  

I can't believe the fight is even being discussed to be honest. David Haye would knock Harrison out within 2 rounds.

Murray in straight sets for me.

Just watched the Fury/ McDermott rematch .....good battle, low on quality, Fury deserved the win for his better standard of work.

More importantly, at such a young age and with such inexperience, from last night's display it looks of massive importance that Fury finds himself a half decent training set up....It is his obvious raw talent that is getting him through at the moment, his family training set up is bringing nothing to the equation.

I'm not suggesting he is set to be a World Champion, but with his natural size and speed, combined with a bit of brains in his corner, Fury could become a very good heavyweight.
