Mark Thompson - Next fights on the 13th June Maloney SKY show in Portsmouth against Gilbert Eastman.

Mark Thompson - Gilbert Eastman

Mark Thompson - Gilbert Eastman

It won't be a bad fight for the undercard mate. I haven't seen Mark fight live before.

[Old bones Ian]

Eastman took big punching George Katsimpas the distance last time out.

[Poncey]

Why don't you come, Ian? I can pick you up at the ferry station. I won't be able to sit with you, but you'll get a free taxi service in a girly car.

[Wales]

Its a cracking fight Emerson! Okay, Eastman has lost 3 on the bounce but you cant ignore the fact all 3 defeats have been against very very good opposition at a weight above Mark. Locket is fighting Pavlik next, Woolcombe had a cracker with Ryan Rhodes last time out and the Kastimpas fellow is supposedly a huge puncher.

If mark can win this the board must be looking at him to fight for the title once his ban is up. Oh, and everytime ve seen him live he's been value for Money mate, probably about 7 times now.

[Poncey]

I'm a little bit sceptical because of Eastman's inactivity, but Shaggy said that Mark is good value for money. I can't remember the last time us country bumpkins had a really good card in our area.

[Old bones Ian]

Why don't you come, Ian? I can pick you up at the ferry station. I won't be able to sit with you, but you'll get a free taxi service in a girly car.

I might take you up on the offer mate, but i may also be going to the Isle of Wight festival. which clashes. Depends if i get the offer of a days work for a weekends pass.

Cool. Let me know, pal. But check with me before you buy a ticket as I've just been told I need to go to the States for a workshop and sod's law it'll be then. I'll send you my mobile number on Facebook.

Now that the Brook fight is off, Dirk might come hopefully.

Surprised no one has commented on this:

Looks like Moore vs Baysangurov is a go-ahead in September. This should be a brilliant fight.

Baysangurov is fighting on the Wlad-Thompson undercard on July 12 (about a week after Moore fights a tune up vs Ciaran Healy for the Irish title). The Wlad card is on Setanta so we should all get a look at Baysangurov in action, before the Moore fight. I've seen him and rate him highly.

[Max Molyneux]

Who's Baysangurov fighting? No opponent seems scheduled for him yet.

[Wales]

I have two of his contests on dvd, he looks good, beatable, but very very good.

[Autobarn]

I have two of his contests on dvd, he looks good, beatable, but very very good.

Have you got the fights with Rubio & Bayram? If so, I think he looked superb vs Rubio but a tad patchy vs Bayram (a tricky operator).

[Wales]

I think they're the only two that are floating about. Its the fight with byram that makes him look beatable. Isnt that the one with the blatent fouls?

shocking fouls weren't they? using the left glove to hold Bayram's head while he clubs him with the right, knocking him down with the foul.

Baysangurov could have got DQ'd. He's a bit hot headed.

MARTIN MURRAY v MICHAEL RECLOUX
BRIAN ROSE v KOBE VANDEKERKHOVE


TONY QUIGLEY v AYITTEY POWERS
GARY DAVIES v SUMAILA BADU

PAUL KEIR v HASTINGS RASANI

Some good opponents here- excellent! Belgian Kobe has a good record- twice as many wins as losses, never been stopped and has experience going 10 rounds. I'd say this is a real " 50-50" fight against Brian Rose.

Michael Recloux, also Belgium, has a good record too- Similar- 10 round experience, never been stopped. A real test for Murray.

Powers and Badu have slightly more limited records, but seem tough.

sounds like a decent set of fights- especially the Belgians- I look forward to those bouts- a real test for the home boxers, genuine competative bouts.
