And is stripped of his 'belt' still think he wins his fight though, he should be to fresh and too fit for Rivera

thats not good though, he can't afford to slip up and maybe Jones pulling out has made him slip a bit in training

Was Lynes offered this fight when Jones pulled out?

Will there ever be a rematch?

Silly - how much was Purdy over? I like his no nonsense style but hope he's taking this seriously; a loss could really set him back.

Who is Nandos Frank? It sounds like an unbeaten Argie that Bellew will end up fighting

I've never been to Nandos; is it good? (Is it worse blowing a big televised fight over?) :(

Good but overrated if that makes any sense. A bit on the pricey side for what it is and their chips are muck too.

Nando's is the nut's. Extra hot is the way forward. I used to date a girl from India and her mum said she didn't know how they made their chicken so nice and she was an expert.

Anyone think Purdy could lose tonight? I've never been overly impressed by purdy and his opp has fought and beaten decent company. Admittedly I haven't seen him fight - has anyone on here seen Rivera fight? I know he defeated James Hare but never seen the fight!

Mightput a small stake on Rivera and maybe the draw

Agree with the first part of your sentence but keeps the riff raff out? Can't agree with that its full of them, its where they upgrade to for those "special" occasions when cottage chicken just won't do!

As for Purdy that's disappointing he didn't make the weight - doesn't look very professional at all.

Rivera coming in at a weeks notice might be the difference here, he might not have the fitness to push Purdy fully. Rivera is tough as they come and a better than expected subsitute for Jones on such short notice.
He's an awkward boxer , not the biggest puncher but did floor Berto in 2007. Purdy should win this one on points, or maybe a late stoppage if Rivera's fitness isn't there.

I've had cheeky go on Rivera at 3-1. I fancy the upset....though as you say Ian it depends what shape/how fit Rivera is.

It's no Wok One :shame: (should that worse be worth palooka? That would make some kind of sense :o ).

I live on Isle of Wight, and people here talk about Nandos like its nirvana. We don't have one here.

Rivera is more than capable of beating Purdy. This isn't a bad fight I will have a few quid on old Cosme for the win. 3/1 is not too bad.
