Nelson v May - not a barn-burner then?

I keep hearing how this fight is going to totally stink out the joint. Is May really that dull?

Duller than three weeks spent camping in the peak district with five pure maths students who love rambling and discussing the finer points of dry-stone wall construction.

Duller than waiting for a Dean Francis right hand?

Sometimes these dull fights can become quite exciting. Who knows? I'm just glad it's not on the box.

they know each other very well, inside out. They aren't aggressive fighters at the best of times, and the amount of knowledge they have about each other doesn't help. I dont know when wqe will get this fight, as it is happening on a Saturday...a night that SKY aren't keen of showing boxing on again. Maybe they'll show it Sunday morning?

I'd rather watch Sammy Nelson v Brian May.

Sammy? Old Arsenal full back who bared his backside to the crowd in a match.

They used to say a fight between friends or stablemates guaranteed a war. But that was back when boxing was boxing. Still, Nelson and May know each other very well and just might decide to let it all hang out. Stranger things have happened.

Might be better than expected but certainly no war.
