Confirmed: Francisco Alvarez vs Enzo Maccarinell *FIGHT OFF*

[whicker]

Yeah, lets stick it at catchweight and have Cliff--- or Billy!

[Deserter]

cliff couser?

Quality.

[gb]

Billy and Ernie Smith, at the same time.
1) They'll be in decent shape.
2) They'll at least come to fight.
3) Most hardcore British boxing fans have heard of them.

Can you make any of the above 3 points about most of Enzo's opponents?

[Abbo]

cliff couser?

I offered it to Cliff on Weds. His phones been turned off since.. ;;-)

[Abbo]

LOL, 30lb in just over 5 months. Cripes, and my missus thinks I'm getting fat!

[gb]

Nice tits though!

[Coco]

Macca will still get paid his full purse whatever happens as he weighed in

[gb]

Macca looked in terrific shape. Shame he didn't bother for the Haye fight. (Not that it would have made a difference)

[Matt Teague]

so seeing him listed against Matthew Ellis on schedule, has this been made??

[jameswilson]

Nice tits though!

Who? Abbo's wife?

[jameswilson]

so seeing him listed against Matthew Ellis on schedule, has this been made??

Yeah been announced on sky sports news. No idea who Chisora will fight now if at all.

[steve689]

Is this whole episode some kind of sick joke?

[Asterix]

so seeing him listed against Matthew Ellis on schedule, has this been made??

Yeah been announced on sky sports news. No idea who Chisora will fight now if at all.

It's crazy stuff. Enzo's Heavyweight debut is happening tomorrow.

[Finch]

Is Chisora not fighting now then either ?

So Cook is off

Enzo's WBO crusierweight title fight is off, as is his replacement, now he's fighting at Heavyweight over 10 rounds against some jounrneyman that's going to get blasted.

Chisora is off

Fraudley isn't on the actual Sky bill, so we're paying 15 quid to watch Enzo smash some no mark up in one round, and Amir Khan's "comeback" when it should have been:

Enzo - World Title
Cook - World Title
Khan
Fraudley
Khan

Then DLH v MP.

I can't keep up.

Whats the bet he says

'Listen ere David Aye, Iv proved now Im the best heavyweight in the World, fight me next like.'

[Coco]

Ellis won't last a round

[leforge]

I read olympians have not got tv deal, sky should not agree to have them, but they will as I cant see any other station wanting anything to do with him.

[steve689]

Warren is undoubtedly Briatin's biggest promoter and has the most clout and it's not really his fault entirely that everyone keeps pulling out, although the bogus titles and poor opposition is partly his fault (treading carefully here )

So... I really hope the Olympians have thought long and hard about there recent moves to sign, as even though they may not have got the same deal or connections with say Hennessy, he does for his part have a contract with ITV. Primetime ITV or ITV4 for the smaller shows. If ever there was chance of building up a reputation and following on national TV, on a Saturday night, here was the opportunity. With SKY they will be tucked away on smaller bills on a Friday night on a restricted paying service.

Unless they are built up as headliners straight away, but of course Harrison and Khan are both testimonies to the pitfalls of that approach. Leforge states that SKY may not take interest in the Olympians but personally I would have thought the opposite. They must be desparate to get their teeth into the likes of DeGale, Gavin etc from day one to build them up as future stars. After all, what else do they now have left to work with?

[Abbo]

I think we are all forgetting a huge component here, gurning Dave Clarke. The one-grin-fits-all no mark that Sky are plagueing all the best sports with (Dogs, Darts, Boxing).

This is a huge win for ITV.

Gauld, my blood pressure is getting all Alvarez thinking about him.

[whicker]

So, right, wahts the deal? Is it deffo Macca V Ellis now?

[stujones]

Can I ask what is the deal with the WBO....... I'm worried it could be Alvarez say in March on Friday Fight Night.

Watch for Jonathon Banks to slip down the rankings.

[jameswilson]

So, right, wahts the deal? Is it deffo Macca V Ellis now?

Afraid so.

[stujones]

Alvarez failed a medical due to High Blood Pressure... looks like High Collesterol to me.

However, odd he failed on BP - cause I didn't think he had a pulse.

[steve689]

Enzo looked in great nick too, shame that solid physique is wasted on TBA. Well the opponent changes so much at the moment not even TBA is sure of the job!

[stujones]

Actually - as bad is this sounds, Ellis is a big improvement on Chubby Checker. Dare I say, might even be a little intriguing.
