Hes fighting Tony Thompson in 2 weeks. Between boxing and UFC theres some good fights coming up. 

And yeah, Frampton/Quigg is a must watch.

Really can't see that being a good fight. Thompson is too old and past it. Not fought anyone of note since 2012 and has lost a few since then.

I think it's likely the only reason Martin has agreed to the fight, and the fact he's agreed to it in London is because it's a bigger payday than all of his previous fights combined and he doesn't believe he'll get another shot at it. 

Been wrong before mind! 

Well there is no doubt who the draw is between Joshua and Martin. If Martin was seen as the next big hope, there's no way he would be in London.

Damn. first I've heard that. he took a pummelling. still, if Eubank Jr wasn't being such an arrogant bellend it would have been over by round 6.

Kell brook made short work of Bizier, take note eubank, as against people who hit back harder that tactic could have possibly backfired.

I have watched the whole fight twice now. I don't think Victor did much wrong if anything. Blackwell was losing the fight on points no doubt. But he's still throwing punches and still defending himself. Whilst he's doing that it's very tough for a referee to intervene.

Very easy for people to criticise with the benefit of hindsight.

Sounds like good news on the Blackwell front - out of his induced coma, conscious and talking. 

Good news.

Anyone see Callum Smith on Saturday? Impressive.

AJ this weekend. Looking forward to it. Oh and Hayes upcoming opponent. Errr, who?

Yes, but still unconvinced he's proved anything as yet. Looks very easy to hit and in with someone decent he'd need to vastly improve his defence.

Unsurprisingly easy. 

The fight showed why you should take titles and unbeaten records with a pinch of salt sometimes. The difference in class was huge.As for AJ he can do what he wants in this division. He has the ability, the looks and the personality. He is a promoters dream.

Yes, this may have been mentioned before the fight...

Yes in theory it's early for a title shot but this is the IBF title that's not worth a w*nk.

Ability and looks I'd agree. Promotor's dream? Yes. 

Personality? That we don't know. He's been media coached into a marketing puppet. He's boring, every interview is the same, he has no personality. At least not one his advisors want you to see.

Yes personality is probably the wrong word. I meant more the way he conducts himself in the media, interviews etc. I can see him being the poster boy for UK sport like Jess Ennis is the poster girl

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
