Joshua out of fight Saturday.

[bigB]

The card looks terrible, so bad that the fights on BN might hold slightly better value, meaning switching between the two until Froch-Groves, which when I've paid £15 to be changing channels is very poor indeed...

Bedsides that Pacquiao fight what else is on? That fight will be shown alot earlier than the Froch one on allegedly I presume due to the time difference in Macau which is 8hrs in front it will be shown around early afternoon

Right. Decent as its for a purpose rather than just a workout.

Where's the purpose though? He won't learn anything from the fight and there's no intercontinental titles on the line so it will do little ranking wise, it's just a keep busy fight, he would have been better off fighting Sykes, then leaving.

It's for the WBC international title even tho it isn't listed as being so just yet and the winner faces the WBC Silver champ. So actually it does a hell of a lot for his ranking.....


Go on have another go.

It's the first step to getting Smith a WBC shot next year.

BN are showing the card from Germany featuring Hernandez v Alekseev and HW's Boystov v Leapai.

Pac v Rios starts at 1.30am UK time on BN, the card is live in China at 9.30am!

Just looking, 5 of the fights on the Froch-Groves bill are 12 rounders, might not be very interesting but could be a long night for your £15

Joshua was scared of the other guy, so he faked an injury and ducked him.

Stop defending Haye. He's a disgrace.

Please explain why having an MRI scan on your doctor's instruction and having five hour (and possibly career ending) surgery is a disgrace?

And can I just say, as well as being a Fury fan, I actually bought a ticket and was going to cheer him on. Did you buy a ticket Horse?

A lot of people predicted Haye would find an excuse to pull out of the fight and he did.

Will anyone be surprised if he fights Vitali later this year?

I'll be surprised if it's later this year but not at all surprised if it's anytime next year.

If it was a reasonable amount of time for the shoulder to heal then why not?

If Fury had five hours of reconstructive shoulder surgery, would you class that as an 'excuse' for pulling out of the fight?

[Horse]

Fury had more to gain and less to lose than Haye. He also hasn't pulled out of three fights with three different injuries in the last 7 months.

I'd be far more inclined to believe Fury's pull out reasoning than Haye's.

Answer the question Horse. Yes or no?

[lefty]

I'm going to jump on one of the conspiracy theories for a minute. I have to say, I wouldnt be 100 % shocked if the whole shoulder surgery thing was a lie. The reason I say that in all seriousness is that for a guy with his money and connections he's made over the years, how hard would it be for him to visit some kind of tv set/film set ala casualty or the like and be done up in a gown and all the other attire? Now im not saying that did happen and it would be mad if he did do that but is it out of the bounds of being possible?

Not as hard as it is for me not to throw my computer across the room.

Haye could have paid off the Dr Who people and got a picture of him on Mars with a space suit on and said he'd been kidnapped by aliens, now that would have shown some balls.

You didn't answer the question. And I'm not worshipping anyone. As I mentioned before, I bought a ticket for the Haye-Fury fight and was going along to cheer Tyson in the hope he could pull off an unlikely upset. I'm a Fury fan. It doesn't stop me commenting on Haye's injury.

Did you buy a ticket? Probably not.
