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!

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
