Having a look round today and just seen a piece on Pickering at http://www.britishboxing.net. Its worth a read

How does everyone think Pickering will get on?

Yes good questions

i hope pickering wins, its a great title and should lead to bigger things

i say pickering on points or late stoppage

Tough fight to call. I've not seen Gigliotti. Maybe home advantage for Esham will carry him to a points win. It would cap an excellent career turnaround.

Esham seems like a great lad, im sure we are all going to be supporting him next week...Ill do another interview when he is the European champ!!

Good interview Martin, couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you associated with a Winconbank lad!!!

Hard fight for Esham, the other guy is expereinced at this level, and Pickering will have to be at his slippery best to confuse him. I reckon with home backing, he'll do it though.

LMAO, im just waiting to see Beagles reaction!!!!

At least now if I go to Sheffield and Witter, Nelson and co decide to beat the shit out of me Esham might lend tacid support!!

Glad you like it anyway, I thought I needed to make it clear that I thought he was going nowhere a few years back, adds a bit of honesty to the piece

You think Esham would help??? Have you seen the size of Nelson!!!
And if you wear your 'Ricky Hatton will starch Junior Witter' T-shirt, I doubt Junior will be all kisses and smiles.

My presence at the camp would be as unwise as it would be unwelcome!!!

Ive actually discussed this with Esham, ive explained the reasons that im usually pulling against the camp...funny thing is he wants a fight with McCullough, another reason for me to back against the stable

I give up!

You can run, but you can't hide

Spoke to Jess Harding today and he says Gigliotti is aggressive and a particularly hard body puncher. It should make for a good contrast with Esham's sharp boxing skills.

Whenever you're ready.

Happy to do one whenever....

So does that mean you are finally accepting an invite to a show ?
When Rhodes next fight is agreed, you'll get an invite - and Johnny will be there so an interview can be lined up.

I could well be coming to a show sooner than you think....

Cheers anyway...look forward to it
