There is no Hilton in Monaco, try the Hotel De Paris.

Alternatively, dock in Cannes and get the helicopter......... :TU:

Looking forward to this show actually,McDonnell, Smith and Murray could all have tough nights

I actually haven't seen that much of Ortiz, most of his fights aren't shown here for some reason unless he's on a big card,I only seen highlights of the Jennings and Thompson KO's, he does have real power and could be a major player in the division but he needs to be more active at this age,if he screws about like most Cubans then he'll end up too old to make an impact

I've seen enough of Scott to know he probably won't last 2 round with Ortiz, he quit against Chisora and "misjudged" the count and he blatantly dived against Wilder,I don't think he cheated I just question his heart when he gets hurt


I think Ortiz will KO Scott in a round but I'd probably rather Malik won because Luis is a dirty drug cheating pudendum

It was a big domestic clash. The Americans don't watch that many of their own, let alone two foreign guys, neither of whom were number one. Only Camp Eddie thought it was the biggest fight in the world.

He does year round drug testing with VADA now out of his own pocket.

I've liked Ortiz for years and he's a beast, but I think Malik Scott has the right style to cause him problems.

Who are the sanctioning body here? Does Monaco have it's own equivalent to the board of control or their own athletic commission or does boxing fall under the French or Italian boards?

McDonnell's opponent Solis is a former world Super Flweight champ he also lost a wide decision to Yamanaka for a world Bantamweight title i so imagine its another opponent Jamie will dwarf,I would've like to have seen him fight the real champ Warren ,I thought that was gonna happen next,I haven't seen Solis so I'm not sure if he'll trouble McDonnell but I think Jamie's a lot more experienced at this level,he does have a habit of going through the motions when he looks as if he's not up for but usually finds his feet like last time against Vargas,he's got a terrific engine,hopefull he does the bizz and gets Warren or Haskins rematch next

Be interesting to see Ortiz weight on Friday. He was a career high of 243 lbs last time out. Wouldn't wanna see him any heavier. He was 239 against Jennings and I thought he looked a bit sluggish carrying that mid rounds. He's 38 in March so surely it's this then title shot?

As a side anyone else see a likeness to Riddick Bowe ?
