I personally hope that he gets the call and tips it bollocks, and the show gets cancelled. Then perhaps this sort of thing might stop. I cant understand the mind games. These sort of fighters are supposed to be world beaters, so why all the silly antics.

Agree with you, I think Gavin is special but having said that Lomax is a decent boxer in his own right and could still manouveure himself into contention for a decent fight with some notice without
having to take a 36 hour job which this fight becomes tomorrow morning. Still guess we will know the answer in about 15 minutes

Thanks for the updates though its much appreciated

i know where your coming from and yes maybe it is unprofessional, but at the end of the day michael only has to make a phone call or two to see whats going on, i did and im just a fan.

He's been phoning all evening and cant get answer from his promoter as no one can get in touch with the main man. Phone seems to be turned off!!!!

Lets hope Barry is on the phone getting him a good deal, be interested to hear when he finally hears mate and whether its an 8 10 or 12 round fight.

Sounds like amateur hour! Surely fight must be going on.

He's just got the call. It's 100% on but not sure about how many rounds yet!!!!!

gavin said earlier its 12 rounds, but tbh i dont care if both the fights are over 10 or 12 and if there for titles or not ! as long as the show happens and gets televised everyone should be happy, and really lomax is to thank for keeping the show alive !

I'd like to take my hat off to Frankie, he has (in the last few months) brought more information to this forum than any promoter has. Maybe it's his age (new tech era etc) or maybe he's just a down right down to earth fella that calls a spade a spade, either way he's helped this forum become a leader in boxing forums. Nomne of the I'm the boxer/promoter/ what do you know interent warrior shite just honest opinions and real ture hard facts everytime. Fair play to you Frankie, you'll wim fans this way too, not everyione goes to the shows many watch online etc.

On the show it has become a bit of a shambles and if it does go ahead it will be a pointless title bout, would we rather see a good area bout etc of a shambles of a "title" fight just to have SKY tick all the boxes ??

Boxing is becoming a SKY viewer only sport now, I have Virgin and don't get Premier sports or pay for SKY sports (2 hours of boxing a week for £25 quid why bother) so where should I get my boxing fix ??? Live shows ? or the internet ?

Will know at weigh in it could be for English but not too sure just sorting sum mat now

Thanks mate will wait to hear if you get a chance to post after the weigh in

While the WBU may no longer be an option, why don't we just go retro and assign a vacant WBO Intercontinental belt to every Sky-televised fight, like they used to in the late 90s-early 00s.

have sky scrapped this card then do we know ?

Last news I heard was that it is deffo on Sky and the English belt may be on the line for Gavin's fight.

hope so.. just upgrading to sky sports ten mins ago !

Frankie can walk through this guy - Lomax couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding!

Just weighed in , the show,s on. Frankie looked well & seems up for the job. Any forum users at the show, feel free to give me some support. I'm sure I'll entertain you!
