Hopefully JMM gets the winner of Hatton-Pacman

Only if its Pacman.. JMM is a better fighter but too small for Hatton, he has only just moved up to lightweight.

He would beat Pacman for the 3rd time!

Big time, no case for anything other than a John win, it was a shutout in the first 7 or so

Marquez was sublime. Man, that number 1 and 2 P4P spot is getting closer all the time.

Big thanks to buncey & Setanta for giving

I thought the production of the show was the best yet,
smooth all the way through.

Lets see if AMIR wants to fight JMM if he beats MAB.

If Amir gets into the ring with JMM you have to take your hat off to him for the guts he would have shown.

However, i dont think Amir is ready for the likes of Marquez. Who has bundles of guile, power and skill. Not to mention a great chin. Also, his ring generalship is second to none.

You have to say the MAB fight is a calculated risk, even though MAB is coming off two wins over average opposition and a recent cut eye, which may or may not limit his preparation in terms of sparring. MAB might well show Amir a few things he has never seen before. How Amir deals with them remians to be seen. To survive, Khans defence will has to be markedly better than it was against Prescott.

Lets see how it goes.

JMM was in trouble v Juan Diaz. Marquez is up in weight and quite old. There was a massive tide against him and the crowd and the whole promotion may have been against him as well. If JMM didn't chop Diaz down he may have lost. JMM was so calm in that storm - he must have been massively uncomfortable early, but he is brilliant and he took over.

JMM will move up, he won't be a lightweight any longer. More realistic a big fight is something like Diaz v Khan in a couple of years. Both exciting, have the right image.

There are guys out there to avoid like Guzman/Romanov, Funeka, Moses - hard fights that aren't exactly massive. So you would think a potential marquee fight like Diaz v Khan, that the names would gravitate towards each other.

(I put Khan in the same sentence as Diaz only because a) Diaz coming off 2 hard losses, b) Khane xpected to beat MAB by many and hence make his name at world level.)
