About time it had its own thread.
Any how, ITV4 tonight 8:30pm Carl Froch Vs Jermain Taylor
Cracking fight treat yourselves.
How this fight didn't get a UK station to pick it up live is quite disgusting, we get subjected to Amir Khan fighting nobodies but when an English World champion taking on the former undisputed Middleweight champion in the USA, it doesn't get a live showing.

It's on ITV 4 now and highlights on bbc 2 later tonight.
You used to get it in your fishnets,
Now you only get it in your nightdress,
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness,
Landed in a very common crisis.

Taylor looking a lot better than he did at the start.
"Reminder of the score with 89 minutes on the watch, Newcastle United 5 Sunderland 0, this will hurt, this will hurt..... technically this a breach of human rights"

I'm gonna roll out with my hole out....
David Haye has been forced to pull out of his proposed heavyweight title clash with Wladimir Klitschko through injury.
The British hope suffered the problem in training ahead of the eagerly-anticipated bout, which is to be screened live on Setanta.
It will be a heartbreaking blow for Haye, who championed long and hard for the opportunity to shake up the division by taking on the best in the business.
His controversial tactics in goading the Klitschko brothers into action caused a stir but, ultimately, it secured him his crack at Wladimir on June 20.
An independent verification of the injury is required before a decision on the future of the fight can be confirmed and a new date fixed for the Schalke showdown.
The event was a sell-out in Gelsenkirchen and more details will follow on the breaking news when available.

Former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, was found dead in a hotel room in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas in Sao Paulo, Brazil, early yesterday.
Police investigator Edilson Alves said the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered in his hotel room at the tourist resort, where Gatti had arrived on Friday with his Brazilian wife, Amanda, and 1-year-old son.
Alves said police were investigating and it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died.
"It is still too early to say anything concrete, although it is all very strange," Alves said.
A spokeswoman for the state public safety department said Gatti's wife and son were unhurt.
"There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," she said.
Gatti first captured the junior welterweight title in 1995, when he defeated Tracy Harris Patterson in Atlantic City. His brawling style and natural charisma made him a fan favorite.
RIP

So who do you think is going to win between Khan and the other bloke? Whenever I see Khan, which isn't often, he looks the part except when the opponent sticks one on him. Then he just goes down quicker than a prossie with a £50 note.
Khan vs. Hatton would be interesting.

I can see Khan losing tonight if he isn't careful, he's moving up in weight and in class against a naturally bigger man, Khan's chin will always be a worry for him but it makes his fights more exciting for the viewer.
Khan will probably win by late stoppage or on points but don't be surprised to see him knocked spark out like against Bredis Prescott.
