I'm buzzing about tonight.

Isn't it nice to have a proper 50:50 fight for a proper world title in the UK.

Its a rarity.

Isn't it also nice to get American posters (from this and other forums) complaining that they cannot view this fight. Its usually the other way around. Although, the more I am hearing about Raheem, the more I want to see Morales vs Raheem - alot of posters from the other side of the pond think an upset might happen there.

This Woods vs Gonzales fight though is such a tough one to call, for the prediction league though I have gone for Woods on points. Not confident with the pick, but I'm just going on how Edrei beat Gonzales and the WBO champ has looked since.

Me too, really looking forward to it. I had the chance of getting my dick wet tonight but I passed it up to watch the fight!

well, it's not a 'proper world title' as Woods is not the proper world champion, but it should be an interesting fight.

There is such a thing as multi-tasking y'know mate, if she's got any kind of respect for you she'll understand. Just chuck her a walkman.

Couple of beers by the river for me then home to watch the season kick off! Clinton is such a geezer he's impossible not to root for. Only his fight with Hoye and Jamie Moore's war with Michael Jones have had me shouting at the tv so far this year.

My own shaky prediction for a Woods points win has just gone in. Really looking forward to this, especially after the summer break.

Ah yes, looking forward to the atmosphere at the Arena tonight.

Agreed - I think Woods has slighly too much for Gonzales, but only by a whisker.

Woods is such a genuinely nice bloke - great advert for the sport.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 09 Sep 2005, 07:18

You'd never have thought the night that Woods came a miserable second best to David Starie that we were looking at a future British, Commonwealth, European and IBF champion.

Against Hoye we did see Woods at his best ever, he looked more than happy fighting at a hard pace for as long as he needed to. He looked like an athlete. Before that I'd have picked Gonzalez to outwork him but now I see it the other way around.

I assume because this guy is potentially a tricky customer? Because I don't know many fighters prepared to dig as deep as Morales does. No matter how hard or how many times he gets hit he always hits right back, standard.

Never going to happen. She'll keep!

Kilburn - agree comlpetely with your analysis: whoever has the best workrate will shade the fight.

Yes, thats what they are saying. They think that Raheem is might have the speed combined with being of roughly equal size as Morales could give him problems.

They generally see Morales winning, but think its a possibility.

I've only seen Raheem's last fight (on Sky) and frankly don't think Morales has much to worry about - but these guys have seen him more than me. He has a questionable heart though, apparently he wanted to quit vs Juarez.

If it was Calzaghe v Ashira I'd be on her like a rat up a pipe but I cant see how this can be anything but a good fight.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 09 Sep 2005, 09:45

Has anyone seen the cover of Boxing News? They're some pretty hefty knuckles Gonzalez has compared to Woods.

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 09 Sep 2005, 10:12

Does anyone know the crowd?
I think its going to be great.

I going to watch Rothman v O Neil ppv before. Does anyone know if this was a good fight?

I think its a 6000 capacity tonight, not sure where I read that but I did.

the atmosphere should be good. It really sound good when he beat Hoye.

Hatton wanted to quit against Vilches
