I've got a good feeling for Burns.....A vastly improved fighter, I feel he has the skill AND the courage to stand up to Katsidis.....I think he might grit out a points verdict.

Don't like to say I told you so....

Also, Groves looked impressive...Beautiful right hook to put Smith down, he certainly looks the part in comparison to DeGale, who was very average the other week.

got that one wrong! burns looks like he has made the right decision in stepping up a division, nice bloke too so well done too him

great shot from groves, he packs quite a punch, to put smith down like that.

never really rated smith, hes finished now.

Smith is a plodder, but the media went ape when DeFail took him out in 9. Expect the same credit to begiven to Groves. Not.

R.I.P Smokin Joe.

The first man to beat Ali and was a core member of the strongest era Heavyweight Boxing has ever had. He wasn't the tallest boxer but he had great power and energy in the ring. Will be missed by the sport.

RIP - Smokin' Joe Frazier.

Saturday is going to be a top night of Boxing.

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Timothy Bradley vs Joel Casamayor - Bradley returns to the ring after a 10 month absence. Was stripped of his WBC title for the Khan debacle, but defends his WBO title against former two division champion in Casamayor. Should be a mismatch. Casamayor is now 40years old and Bradley has a point to prove.

Breidis Prescott vs Mike Alvarado - Could well be the fight of the night, Alvarado is undefeated and they have 41 KO' from 58 fights between them. Prescott knocked out Khan a few years back but was poor in losing to McCloskey on points. Wouldn't be surprised if Alvarado won this one.

Luis Cruz vs Juan Carlos Burgos - Another top fight. Cruz is Puerto Rican and trains with Miguel Cotto, is undefeated and is seemingly a World Champion in waiting if he gets past this tough test. Burgos is a former world title challenger, defeated just once to Hazegawa on points, but I think his stepping up in weight may be a bit too early so back Cruz.

Looking forward to it - expect Pacquaio to win comfortably, not decided which round yet. Think there is a good chance it won't go the distance, leaning 9th/10th round at the moment but will make a concrete prediction after the weigh-in.
