Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

Tyson Fury could perhaps be described as a Julian Barratt-looking motherfucker, except he has shaved and is, like, six foot nine.

Rob McCracken! Whey!

"Hennessey Sports in association with Brady House Hotel, Ireland, Golden Palace.com, The Sun newspaper, and Hooters of Nottingham..."

Poll?

And Fury pops him in the belly and it's over in just over two minutes. That was not very interesting at all.

So now there's how much time to kill before the main event? I hope that prelim was scheduled for, like, 3 rounds.

BTW, I am not watching this. Just seeing what you post.

Now signing off. Have fun. I hope it's a barn burner of a fight.

I missed the second fight cos that lasted one round too. I am not sure what they're gonna do now. Gabriel Clarke has just interviewed Tyson Fury. Again. Now he's talking to his dad.

Gabriel Clarke looks remarkably like a Tory MP who's about to be found out for something.

Okay Hannah's letting me have the boxing on now. This one looks promising.

Carl Froch fight is on ITV at 10.45pm

This is looking like a very good fight, actually, that last round the momentum seemed to keep on swinging...

Davis showboating like crazy here.

David

Boris Becker talks about poker, I turn to ITV1 where they're giving an award to David Renwick. Good on them, If You See God, Tell Him is class.

Olivia Colman with the Twiggy-style haircut - good look.

Referee's calling him Davis too, to be fair.

This is a proper fight eh? Some mental shit from David, he's asking to be knocked down if he keeps blocking with his head like this.

His posture is remarkably similar to Titus Bramble's.

Great fight. Wright looks remarkably together considering the pummelling his face just took.

Better right hand than Titus, though. Cracking knockout, that.

And there's a match going on now that they're not showing.

And here's Boris.

Drop Dead Gorgeous beats Skins to Best Comedy Drama. Sid from Skins - unimpressed.

HERBAH HIIIIDE!

This might read odd, but Jon Thaxton's face takes up the entirety of the front of his head. It basically looks as though the rest of his head has been weathered away to leave only his face.

loldley Harrison has lost again.

I think I basically mean that I can't see his ears.

Gabriel Clarke is not really a man who knows what he's doing, it would seem.

I know Becker's got a lot of bills to pay but pissing his cash up the wall playing online Poker seems like a bad idea.

Is he actually playing poker or just fronting an ad?

Given I could only see that feller's tie, I almost thought it was Phil Brown.

Lawton is a former victim of Amir Khan, btw. Stopped in 4.

Eek, that is a horrible, horrible cut.

Froch looks a lot like a mate of mine who is also from Nottingham.

Really, really cold eyes.

Khan's done his feller in two. No idea if he looked good in so doing.

Man, Rawling and McKenzie are wearing some awkward specs there.

Re: Pascal's entourage - does Montreal still have a baseball team? I thought the Expos got shut down?

Froch looks focused as hell.

First round to Pascal tho I reckon.

Oh, this looks like it's gonna be good. Froch edges it for me, but he's looking nervy. Pascal has, I think, taken to this atmosphere better than him.

Don't go asking if people can become the next Davey Hilton. No-one wants that.

Couldn't call that round. Don't think this is going the distance.

And a quality ending to that round, probably give it Pascal, but I think Froch is bedding in a bit.

This is making up for me being too tight to pay for De La Hoya-Pacquiao

Good fight this

Froch takes the 3rd maybe.

Froch takes that one, I think he's landing harder than Pascal.

lol one of the corners has HOOTERS on it

Believe this is what Dom would refer to as a slobberknocker.

And Pascal gets that round back, HELL of a last minute there, and you could tell Froch was rattled at the end. Back and forth all over the place, this fight, marvellous.

If I had a gun at my head and I had to put money on this right now, I think I'd bet Pascal.
