Pretty sure the Snooker club regarding Naz was near the Hunters bar roundabout, as that was our go to place for a couple of frames and saw Naz in there a couple of times.
Got me reminiscing about student days in Sheffield now, good times.
Yes it probably is Rileys. Next to the Lescar which is a great pub, opposite where my missus works now if you are ever in town and need to buy a log burner urgently. |

Yes, think it might well be the one near Hunter's Bar. Think I even played there a few times. Been a few years since I visited Sheffield for a night out. Need to address that. Bringing it back onto boxing, Kell Brook - world class, or still not fought anyone half-decent? |

I worked in the NHS clinic just up the hill from there one summer. My job was to input data about blokes with erectile problems and people who wanted sex changes. Wish I worked in the log burner shop! |

The 5/2 Brook points is a ridic price with  , way ool. |

Corrales v Castillo I is definitely worth a watch.
Just remembered what a belter this one was. You watched it yet Monda? That was unreal, incredible fight. |

Watched Castillo v Mayweather after that fight. Mayweather runs fucking good, shouldn't have that 0. Such a joke to suggest he won it at all nevermind by the margin it was giving. (I realise this is all very old news now  ) The stats of the fight and the fact Castillo was clearly the more aggressive shows what a sham boxing can be when left to the judges. |

any thoughts on tonights fights
like last time going for joshua points at a big price 15/2 think im going to stick with it til it lands - sooner or later his oppoenents are just going to turn up in survival mode like true journeymen. butlins said hes had a lot of notice for this fight which is a positive and he isnt a novice like joshuas first fight
bazza already mentioned brook on points at 5/2 that price has gone now i prefer points to stoppage and the only doubt is if sencehnkos face holds up was stopped on cuts /swelling in his defeat. for me this is brooks first test around world level
callum smith points 7/2 interesting one this smith with all the 1st round kos but who he is fighting has only been stopped twice by world level fighters. against this is im not sure how much notice the opponet had for this fight is 35 now and notice he had to strip off to make weight. but he has been picked to hopefully give some rounds to smith. there are some decent prices on overs rounds mite go for that instead
brian rose points 9/4 if hes going to win its highly likely it will be on points. his opponent is favourite to win this by stoppage hes got a lot of kos on his record but fighting at home in argentina. cant figure out if its because people dont rate rose who you wouldnt call chinny or the argie is genuine and can bang. hearn has brought over a few argies with decent looking records to get beaten in the past but hes also made a bit of a mess getting people over at a higher level for burns and quigg and the same level for bellew. i expected rose to be a decent fav and would have backed the other guy at a big price to win. had a few draws around lately on sky could be a chance of that here again maybe.

Maybe being harsh but not that impressed with Kell Brook, doesn't look good enough to beat most of the people above him in his division.
Possibly I'm massively underestimating his opponent though who I know little about.

thought brook looked good tonight saw off his best oppo and an ex world champ failry easily
vast improvement to going life and death with carson jones
quality win for rose aswell i had him winning a close fight a few moaning the other lad was robbed
i might give up on backing joshua to go the distance

I'm no boxing expert, but are they not just hand feeding Joshua pub fighters to bed him in? |

yeh they are not expected to beat or trouble joshua in the slighest its why hes fighting them
theres plenty of big hitters who struggle to put away journeymen who cover up and spoil which is what im waiting for could get expensive tho
