Maybe there will be another one along shortly.
Scott Harrison is fighting soon I think. I just hope it's not pay-per-view on sky.

Harrison/Guzman is gonna be a barnburner. Of course, I won't be able to watch it in the states, almost guaranteed. Ugh.

Busy Williams replaces Harrison

Danny Williams will defend his Commonwealth heavyweight crown in Glasgow on 25 March following the withdrawal of Scott Harrison.

Harrison was due to defend his WBO featherweight crown against Joan Guzman but has picked up a gum infection.

Williams last fought on 25 February, when he took a split decision against British champion Matt Skelton.

Williams said: "I thought I'd be out for a while before a potential fight with (WBA champion) Nikolay Valuev."

Williams outpoints brutal Skelton

The 32-year-old added: "I was delighted when I got the call - I wanted to keep busy to stay off the chocolate bars and cakes.

"I don't care who is put in front of me, but I will knock them clean out because no-one is getting in the way of my second world-title shot."

Harrison is in no condition to take on Guzman, of the Dominican Republic, according to his father and trainer, Peter Harrison.

He said: "Scott's training has been a nightmare from the start.

"He developed a cold in the first week, but everything seemed OK following the birth of his daughter, Maria.

"But then Scott was hit by a gum infection and was forced to return from Fort William to visit his dentist.

"Things have got worse since then and Scott phoned me on Sunday morning to say his neck was swollen.

"When I visited him, I could see he had swollen glands and we got in touch with Frank Warren straight away to advise him of the situation."

For a weird weird moment there, I thought that meant Guzman was gonna move up from feather to heavyweight to fight Danny.

Guzman Pulls Out Of Harrison Fight

I'm disappointed but not surprised. He seemed to be running scared.

Calzaghe fight on ITV now.

That's some atmosphere!

an unbelievable battering that

Next week Joe Calzaghe fights Brian Dowling.

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 7 April 2007 21:57 (6 years ago) Permalink

I missed it, only just finished work. A predictable result though.

xpost Dom OTM, I imagine

― Matt, Saturday, 7 April 2007 21:57 (6 years ago) Permalink

Totally out of Calzaghe's league. Calzaghe won so easy. Too old at 35 eh? He kicked your ass.

Now it's all fights in America I reckon. He destroyed the 2 great american hopes EASY. Manfredo wasn't fit to lick his boots.
Let's hope Joe gets the credit and big fights he deserves now before he actually does get too old.

Manfredo wasn't fighting back and was out of his league. Joe would've knocked him out if it had continued.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Saturday, 7 April 2007 21:58 (6 years ago) Permalink

Calzaghe vs Jermaine Taylor next, then.

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 7 April 2007 22:00 (6 years ago) Permalink

Also Manfredo looks and talks like he's just walked out of a 30s gangster flick.

Manfredo = waaaaaaay too nice a guy

Is Amir Khan due a step up in quality? I note another easy win this evening

I don't think Manfredo with 3 losses out of 26 fights and no punching power to speak of counted as a great American hope. It was a 3 round sparring match with Manfredo getting sacked for not even trying.

Calzaghe's demolition of Lacy got him much well deserved credit and was probably enough to make anyone else think twice about taking him on, that's why he ended up slapping a game show winner about tonight.

Khan's really starting to look powerful. I know they're supposed to be eased along and all that but surely it's time he stepped up a class. Mike Tyson was battering Berbick for fun at that age.

― onimo, Saturday, 7 April 2007 22:25 (6 years ago) Permalink

Khan really needs to fight Jonathan Thaxton ASAP, at least get something around his waist. Although god knows what the money fight is supposed to be for him in the lightweight division. A moved down Cotto?

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 7 April 2007 22:33 (6 years ago) Permalink

ITV using "Party Hard" to soundtrack the fight's, ahem, "highlights".

Pavlik winning was kinda surprising.

Spinks/Taylor is going to suck and Taylor is going to win. You can pretty much change the channel already.

Enzo fight on now. Calzaghe fight must be a late one.

― pfunkboy, Saturday, 3 November 2007 23:59 (5 years ago) Permalink

ahh f--- this is on regular HBO isn't it. You used to be able to order HBO for one night and pay a prorated amount (like, fifty cents) and cancel it the next day.

I'm just thankful we get Setanta now. This should be a cracking fight.

― pfunkboy, Sunday, 4 November 2007 00:07 (5 years ago) Permalink

We pay enough for Sky as it is so, regretfully, fuck Setanta.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 4 November 2007 00:09 (5 years ago) Permalink

We got setanta free this year from virginmedia to make up for them losing sky news/sky one etc.
Enzo just won his fight in 4 rounds.
Calzaghe fight starts 1.30am apparently. Listening to it on radio, Jim?

― pfunkboy, Sunday, 4 November 2007 00:18 (5 years ago) Permalink

I might stick it on unless I've gone to bed, yeah.
