Ermmm, I can assure you the Welsh use the same alphabet as English. There are more letters but they just involve extra letters, for example c and ch, or d and dd are different letters.

Edit - Actually I get what you mean now. Wales having different names names for places etc.

Yup, I'm actually Welsh mate so I know a little bit about it But yeah, it is virtually the same, although there are some differences, the point being it's impossible to exactly translate when the alphabet is different.

I'd normally let it slide, but this PPV is boring enough to allow pedantry

Would you agree this isn't an 'abomination.' I repect Boxing prospects opinion and all but there does seem to be some kind of motive behind what he is saying. In my opinion he is a bit 'It's Wake. If it's anyone else outside the top 5 it's not acceptable.' I mean it went from 'oh the fights announced over here, but not in Japan, it isn't happening.' To 'Oh it's announced over there now, it won't happen tho Quigg will fight a late replacement.' To Otake arriving and now lasting into the 6th despite taking a lot of shots (which we knew he would have.)

Yeah admittedly the opponent could be worse. Saying that though it still is very one sided in the sense that otake just doesnt have the firepower to make this interesting aside from being a tough bastard who keeps coming.

Yeah agreed on that. More a case of Hearn and the matchmaker being smart enough to find a guy with a high ranking who has the style to suit Quigg. I know you think otherwise but I think Martinez's style would play into Quigg's hands. It will be the guys who can box and move while also having enough power to keep him honest that will beat Quigg.
