It's great news that this could be happening. I'd also argue that Khan has earned this fight in that this is a fight people want to see happen and will pay good money to watch. Money makes fights and we should give Amir Khan credit for getting himself into a position to receive what must easily be the biggest pay day ever for a British boxer.
I don't share your enthusiasm mate. I can't get excited about someone getting an opportunity that they don't deserve. |

Bit harsh, Mr Shoelace. He was ok on Strictly.
Oh you mean his boxing?

He also got a Full Tilt Red Pro deal, back in the day. Fair play to him for it all though. I actually interviewed him once and he was super nice - which probably explains why he had such a problem hitting people. |

Who want's to see this fight ? Other than to put your net on Mayweather, I see no point in this fight. |

Well I did when I thought it would take place in the UK, cause I could see a big blonde gathering for boxing, drinking and maybe some pokerz,err nah more drinking... But now it's in Vegas sigh, not all that fussed... Mayweather will get another KO on his record that's all... |

i would like to see mayweather khan but it has been denied all over the place
khan doesnt deserve a shot but in boxing deserve it doesnt really come into it
mayweather has been know to throw out a fake name to test the water see how it goes does down then improve on it.
i know khans chin isnt too clever but mayweather hasnt had a legit ko since hatton headbutted the ringpost got to be points agai

Wlad is solidly on the drift today. A crooked points decision aside can anyone make a case for Povetkin?

any thoughts on joshua points win 6/1
i just think the priority in joshuas opponents early on will be for them to be feather fisted and they wont mind him getting rounds in rather than blasting out a string of stiffs

Povetkin was 8.0 on Betfair now 4.0, Vlad has gone from 1.17 to 1.40 by all means that was an enormous drift.
On paper Povetkin looks outmatched. He's a good all round boxer but Wlad specialises in utilising his size and beating smaller men. Since he regained his title vs Peter you've had to have something about you just to avoid being stopped by him.
Yesterday's layers obviously know something we don't and a home points bias is well known to everyone.
RE Joshua on points it's similar reasoning to Ogogo who stopped both fighters on his sky card but won on points over in the USA. Never underestimate Eddie Hearns ability to find an opponent to make his own fighter look surprisingly good.

It's a helluva move. I mean Wlad keeps him on the end of his jab all night, Povetkin doesn't have the tools to trouble him. Strange goings on. I'll be surprised if Joshua goes past the 3rd round. The opponent will have been selected to make him look good. I think Quigg's opponent is being overlooked a tad. 300+ amateur fights and from the footage I've seen he looks capable. Quigg has also been on the floor against indifferent opposition, so has a questionable chin. |
