Banks has supposedly pulled out of Macca fight (supermerged)

[Dioufy]

Probably a step up, but only just. Rogan is tough and gritty but lacks any skills and doesn't really have a defence. He can hit a little but he has little arms and I can't see him getting anywhere near Audley's chin. I would love to see Roggie win but he won't.

[leforge]

The Froch card much weaker as well originally Elcock was on and Mutley. Least its got the main event.

Elcock is off also?

[Dioufy]

Barker's replaced Elcock against McKay.

[Asterix]

Yeah but that's nothing special - I expect Audley to break Rogan down quite easily. If David Dolan (now a cruiserweight) nearly stopped Rogan in the last round of PrizeFighter then how can anyone expect Rogan to win. Audley within five rounds for me.

I don't remember that. I was there and Rogan was too strong for Dolan. I don't remember Rogan being in any trouble.

Just watched it again. Rogan took tonnes of shots but was in no trouble.

Actually a better replacement - is the Commonwealth belt on the line?

[Dioufy]

I think it's a British title eliminator, so in essence, I am glad Elcock pulled out.

[leforge]

No thats on a separte bill the following week with Magee v Mguire fight.

[dondada]

What a total load of shite. If I had time I'd really go to town on this. Shocking.

I can't believe some of you lot are still weighing up which is the better British bill.

[Dioufy]

Asrerix, I think Rogan was hurt a few times by Dolan in that last round. Me saying that he was nearly stopped is a bit of an overstatement looking back but Rogan was definitely in trouble against a crusierweight - I still expect Audley to stop him.

I respectfully disagree. Rogan's legs looked sturdy throughout, even though he was exhausted.

We can still have babies together, though, Dioufy. ;;-)

[Dioufy]

As long as we can see still do that then everything is dandy for me.

I just think he was a little in trouble - he took loads of shots and when he bulled forward he landed very little. It was his determination that got him through that, and against a bigger puncher, and him walking forward like that could cause a knockout.

I'm going to be watching the ITV 1 bill while recording the PPV- I'm getting the PPV purely for DLH vs Pacquiao and a decent US undercard.

Froch is the better bill. But this bill sufferred too.

Oh aye, Stu, fair play. But there's not much of a contest on the British side, hey?

Unless you are rabidly anti-Khan and Harrison and want to cheer the away corner on...

[Autobarn]

Froch bill is way better, as we have a fight between 2 unbeaten guys for a world title. With the promise that the winner will have to fight 2 pretty good mandatories after (Taylor and Murat-Johnson winner), i.e. no gimme opponents. So a good fight, that leads to something good afterward.

I think I'd rather watch Gethin and Barker in relatively easy fights than Mac and Cook in routine bouts dressed up in WBO wrapping paper. Main event pisses all over Khan v Fagan (unless the fights somehow prove different, which they can) so the Notts bill is the one to go with.

Apart from the trouble comment, I agree with you. I don't think Dolan was ever going to get him out of there, but against a bigger puncher, yeah, he would have been in trouble.

What's your prediction for the fight? A cautious fight from Audley or a statement KO? (I'm assuming you think Harrison will win)

[Dioufy]

I think Audley's jab will be key here. I can't see Audley taking Rogan out with a left-hand as he will probably be too scared to get caught. I expect Harrison to bust Rogan up and the referee or his corner to stop it, after Rogan's possibly been down a few times.

You?

[leforge]

I thought Barker was fighting on the 13th, thats what Hennessy website says is this the case?

You?

Either a boring decision or a boring fight up until a KO by Harrison. I hope it turns out to be more exciting than it is in my head. DD

nope its a disgrace.... I wasn't looking forward to Cook vs Foster Jnr much - joke it was a world title fight, only banks vs Enzo Mac was worth something.

[whicker]

Has anyone bought tickets for this and regretted it now? It is sad, because the card as first put out did look really good. Two world title bouts (one a genuine 50-50 clash), Khan, Harrison-Rogan, Smith-Bendall (?) plus some interesting undercard fighters.

[leforge]

This makes boxing become a joke imo. Bill like this will kill the sport, two years ago this was the same story.

[hitman_hatton1]

allegedly has become a joke.

Been told Woods got offered the Job with Mac
