It would be typical if this cunt scored now. I know I'm bitter but I hope he snaps like a twig.

Great display from Mayweather, he toyed with Marquez at will, but left me frustrated that he boxed within himself, his dominance was effortless, a truely great fighter would have finished Marquez. I admire Mayweather but I'm longing for someone to lay him out, hopefully Mosely will get the chance.

Nice little preseason morale booster against my yokel team:

KEVIN KEEGAN HAS EMAIL AMMO FOR TOON FIGHT Court will see messages from Newcastle owner Mike Ashley KEVIN KEEGAN SEEKS £10m FROM NEWCASTLE KEVIN KEEGAN is set to unveil damning emails his legal team believe will prove Newcastle owner Mike Ashley made his position untenable. Keegan's bitter case with his old bosses kicked off last week with the former Toon hero bidding for £10million in compensation. The manager tagged The Messiah walked out a year ago after clashes with Ashley appointees Dennis Wise and Tony Jimenez. Ashley in turn is claiming £2m for breach of contract but sources close to Keegan have revealed he has emails that could blow the Sports Direct owner's case out of the water. A source said: "There are emails people have never seen. If the truth comes out about what went on, then Ashley and Wise will be decimated. The last thing Kevin wanted to do was walk out but his position was impossible." The case is being heard by a panel of three experts at a Premier League tribunal. All parties have signed a statement that they will not leak information. That was as a direct result of Ashley's team turning to the media to defend their position after a vitriolic reaction from Toon supporters when Keegan left. But Sport of the World has learned that Ashley is so determined to battle Keegan he has turned to top lawyer Graham Shear. Ashley's desire to fight the case is a further indication he intends to stay in charge at the club he bought for £134m two years ago. Sources close to the sportswear magnate believe he is "99 per cent certain" to keep the club despite Barry Moat's consortium having assembled the required £100m. Debts are now under control, the wage bill has been slashed to £30m and the overdraft is now manageable for Ashley.

Just pissed the Championship at first attempt, not as impressive as Dave's performance but 100+ goals 100+ points.

Telegraph Sport understands that Moat has financing in place to meet Ashley's price and provide working capital to a new manager, expected to be Alan Shearer. The financing deal should also enable Moat to satisfy the club's bank, Barclays, which is insisting on a reduction in the current overdraft facility of £39 million. The club's borrowing currently stands at around £20 million and ideally Barclays would like that halved. The club confirmed yesterday that it had received an offer of £100 million from an unnamed party and that negotiations had reached the "sale and purchase" stage. Ashley now has until the end of the month to decide whether to accept a deal that will end his unhappy and expensive two-year association with the club.

about 5am would be my guess.

SKY Sports 1 tonight, live 2am. Boxing: Mayweather sees Marquez as way back into big time By Steve Bunce It was inevitable that Floyd Mayweather would end his self-imposed exile from the boxing ring and equally predictable that he would control every aspect of his return to a sport that has missed him. Mayweather walked away after beating Ricky Hatton in December 2007, but he has been training in secrecy for over 12 months for tonight's return against the carefully selected Juan Manuel Marquez. The fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been greeted with relative calm by the punters, but Mayweather's record at the box office and on pay-per-view TV is golden. Tonight is all about Mayweather putting himself back in the shop window and letting people know that he is available at the right price for a fight against either Miguel Cotto or Manny Pacquiao, the sport's premier attractions, who just happen to be fighting each other in November. Poor old Marquez, who is surely one of the top five Mexicans of all time, is just there to get punched and paid a career-high purse. "I have missed boxing and who wouldn't miss a sport where you can make $200m or $300m?" asked Mayweather. "I'm 'Money' Mayweather and that is what I do – and now I'm back." In May 2007 Mayweather beat Oscar De La Hoya and set a series of financial records, beating Mike Tyson at the box office, and even his fight with Hatton generated vulgar sums of cash and left Hatton richer by an estimated £17m. Marquez has held world titles at three different weights, is still relatively fresh at 36 and has never been stopped in 55 fights. However, he is shorter, has a six-inch reach disadvantage and more alarmingly will be boxing at a weight that is 10 pounds heavier than he has ever been. Mayweather has selected wisely. "I see a chess match early," said Mayweather. "I expect Marquez to make the same mistake Hatton made and fight too hard from the start. People forget how hard I can punch and only realise when it's too late. That is what happened to Hatton." Mayweather is unbeaten in 39 fights and has operated close to the fight's chosen poundage of 144 pounds for six years, which will give him a massive advantage over Marquez. It should, however, be pointed out that Pacquiao gained 10 pounds and ruined De La Hoya last year. "That's right," Mayweather said. "But, I'm not Oscar and everybody needs to remember that. I'm not coming out of retirement, I'm just getting back after a break – I've lost nothing since beating Hatton." A stoppage by Mayweather tonight would be a tremendous achievement, but Marquez will have to fight a dumb fight to help make that happen. The sensible pick is Mayweather on points.
