Carl Froch vs Robin Reid should be an entertaining encounter tonight at 10pm on Sky Sports 1. Froch has an impressive record but this should be a decent test for him.

I like Froch. I'd expect him to win pretty comfortably.

Love watching the Haymaker fighting, hes a warrior!

Ditto - he's an exciting prospect in the Heavyweight division, he has world title potential, no doubt.

I'd tend to agree. Again, a potential British World Champion. Would be interesting to see him go to the States and fight someone like Winky Wright/Jermain Taylor - not sure if he's ready to move in that company just yet.

Great win for Haye. I thought he was loose and slightly outclassed early on, but to pick himself up from the knockdown in the fourth and come back like he did showed class. A cracking finish as well. The British boxers march on. :tu:

Didn't see the fight i'm afraid but i'm a big fan of the Haymaker also. Just has everything in his locker and is such an exciting fighter. Probably little too arrogant if anything but if he doesn't win a world title at Heavyweight i'll be amazed.

Impressed with Haye. Thought he was taking unnecessary risks with his low left-arm stance, and he very nearly paid for it. Great comeback after Mormeck had him wobbling. Always surprised by Haye's agility - i thought he moved very well. Awesome power in some of his body shots, and a couple of devastating hits to finish the frenchman.

Just a couple of hours to go until Cotto vs. Mosley on Setanta. Looking forward to this - should be very interesting indeed.

It did not disappoint. Pretty much went exactly as expected, very entertaining to boot.

Hope Ricky knocks off Mayweather then gets a shot at Cotto. I'd love to see that.

Wondered what Hatton said, as they kept refering to it on Fighting Talk. Joe vs. Bernard won't happen as Bernard, like almost every US based boxer, will wimp out of it and yet spout off about how they're the best. Mayweather is a ___ but at least he is willing to face a European fighter.

You gonna tell us then? Or have I missed something?

Is anyone else going across to Vegas for the Hatton fight?

Gav mentioned earlier in the thread that he was hoping to talk Debs in to letting him go....

Is Johnny Vegas hosting a boxing party as his that night then? I'm in!

I had teh misfortune of being stuck in an airport lounge with Vegas the other week. A more objectionable and unpleasent human being it has never been my misfortune to meet.

If he's having a party, then go and set fire to him and his collection of St Helens memorabilia.

Looks like I'm going to miss this as I'm supposed to be in Lincoln next weekend. To say I'm gutted is a huge understatement.

Hatton to win on points...but it's going to be one helluva fight!!

I would have thought if anyone was likely to win on points it would be PBF. I think Hatton will have to finish him sooner - and I think he will.

Posted

Should be a great fight, though unfortunately I have Mayweather jr winning it. I see him outboxing Hatton and winning on points, using his speed, defence and mobility to frustrate Hatton for 12 rounds.
