That would be an ideal time to settle down with a cold beer to watch a big fight.
I'm going to make the effort for this one.

[THEBUTCH]

F*ck ! I can't believe this fight is taking place tonight

Almost completely passed me by

[Ruthless-RKO]

Starts on half hour

[KiwiRider]

Bloody heck these heavies are slow!
I keep thinking my Internet is running slow, but no, its these guys

[Cask]

Taylor gives me Trevor Morgan vibes, scary guy for a prewatershed soap chatacter

Gravy just looked a bit told 're fifteen twenty-five seconds in the microwave.

[mickey1975]

Compare that chief support to Johnny Fisher….

[Redback Rasta]

Keen for this to kick off. Hopefully there won't be too much messing around to get through before they get it on!

[KiwiRider]

About ten minutes to go!
Josh says he will be really hatting him. I'm sure Teo prefers a sombrero to a cheesecutter

[Redback Rasta]

About ten minutes to go! :box:
Josh says he will be really hatting him. I'm sure Teo prefers a sombrero to a cheesecutter :OhYes:

Just hope the hats aren't too heavy on their heads. Wouldn't want any Wilder-like excuses afterwards.

[Manchester Hitman]

Can’t stand Taylor - as unlikely as it may be, I would love Lopez to land a haymaker on his chin

Before the Catterall debacle - big fan.
After the Catterall debacle - smash him Teo!!

[Redback Rasta]

I too lost a lot of respect for Taylor for the way he handled his 'loss' against Catterall.

[Redback Rasta]

Sometimes you just wished there was a fast forward button.

[Redback Rasta]

Both in the ring. Taylor looks like he's already done 6 rounds in the change rooms.

[bigped]

Good start , Taylor landing well to the body

[ironbeard]

48-47 Lopez

[REAL_DEAL]

4-1 Lopez so far. Lopez looking Sharp and Taylor can't figure out the speed
