Lol, how are they going to get a replacement ??

LMFAO! This card has been so fu*ked up. Warren should do the right thing. Cancel Enzo's fight completely and put the PPV on Sky Sports 1 for FREE!.

Too late to replace, I think, surely?

What is the rule on this? Do fighters need to weight in 24 hours in advance? Which, technically, could still be done I suppose?

You couldn't make this shit up

Where's boxingchat when you need him ?
Well if this goes on the question should be where's he signing on ?

Cheers for that lads, it's a shambles.

Hide won't go for this, too short notice already when it was a couple of days ago.

Absolute disgrace. I'm not paying for the boxing now, fornicate it.

I'll just watch Froch for free....

No world title fight means refunds will have to be given

Could they blag that the "international" bout on the bill was technically a world "championship?" Even if it is not the highest one.

I'm glad I'm not going, anyway, it would be embarassing to be in a half filled Excel.

You can be sure they'll find a way around that....

I love it that he failed due to high blood pressure, a problem mostly associated with fat people...

Total farce, and a shambles.

I'm in awe of this. I don't think it could go further wrong if they tried.

Is Paul Bonson available? Surely he's worthy of a no12 place in the WBO ratings?

whicker · Post by **whicker** » 05 Dec 2008, 13:26

Am I missing something here? Why not do a medical in Puerto Rico, before he flies over? Seems odd that they take such a gamble.

Surely not at this notice mate

Edited the topic title.

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » 05 Dec 2008, 13:32

Nah there is a Herbie interview on the sky website where he says he will take the fight if given adequate notice. Which obviously isnt the case here.

E · Post by E » 05 Dec 2008, 13:33

I'm enjoying the schadenfraude of this situation. FW must be on the phone having a heart attack right now.

Deserter · Post by **Deserter** » 05 Dec 2008, 13:36

The Excel show has become such a fiasco that I'm almost starting to feel sorry for old Frankie

Why don't we do a check to see who's available among the posters to step in with Enzo - Billy B, given your recent sparring with Boxingchat you could be a prime candidate?

The phrase p*ss-up in a brewery has never been more apt...

Is it just me or does Alvarez look as though he's about to go surfing in that pic with Hawaiian shorts on and a Surf board tucked under his arm
