Khan may fight Marcos Maidana in April in what would be his first fight in the US:

Story

Likely to be the undercard of Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr

Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr fighting? In 2010? Thats almost as bad as the UFc main event of Randy Couture v Mark Coleman. In fact, it may be worst because at least Coleman is competitive, whereas Roy Jones Jr is so far over the hill he's actually in a valley.

watched a documentary of prince naseem on espn. was about the build up and aftermath of his fight in vegas to barerra.

he comes across as the total nob that we all know him to be. what was it he was in trouble wi the police for recently?

He fled the scene of an accident in which someone was proper f**ked up, and it was his fault.

The blokes a complete c**t, I've been saying this since he was fighting butchers and binmen and acting like the big I am because of it. He fought a proper fighter and got dusted.

He's a right blimp now as well.

Ricky Hatton has lost it now. He needs to give it up. It shows how much of a psychological sport boxing is, most boxers go downhill once they've lost one big fight. I saw him recently and you could see in his face he'd lost something, he wasn't all cocky and confident.

I haven't seen a decent boxing match for ages.

Amir Khan is making his American debut at Madison Square Garden against Pauli Malignaggi.

Malignaggi is very much like Khan in style, very quick hands. He fought Hatton in one of Hatton's comeback fights before he faught Pacquiao, in which Hatton really tortured him and it ended with Malignaggi holding Hatton at every opportunity until his trainer threw the towel in.

I expect Khan to win but it should be an interesting fight.

Its on ITV at about 3am on Saturday night - even though I thought Khan was signed up to Sky?

There's a big boxing match happening in the very early hours of tomorrow (11am!) on Skysports.

The 'boxing binman' Rendall Munroe is fighting for the WBC Super Bantemweight title against Toshiaki Nishioka. He's expected to lose but he was in his last fight (where he started crying dedicated his win to his aunt Julie who'd snuffed it some days previous).

Oy oy the binman!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
