That forum seems more than a little biased to me.

That's the guestbook.
Go to the actual forums, and you'll see it's alright.

It's funny (or not) that arguably the biggest fight of Joe Calzaghe's career gets postponed because of a defence of Ricky Hatton's WBU title against what will undoubtebly be a grossly-overmatched 'challenger'.
On the one hand I want to be postive in that you must think they are actively trying to get a good opponent in the other corner for Hatton hence the postponment. But on the other hand they are messing Calzaghe about and he is at least challenging for the IBF Light-Heavy title.

Real Deal beat me to it but i thought from Sunday that Hatton was either wearing a tight suit or he was looking a tad bloated. Seems it wasn't the suit

I'm trying not to imagine how ugly he's going to be at age 60, and I know I'm failing (at the trying-not-to-imagine thing) because a voice in my head keeps saying "Jabba the Hutt... Jabba the Hutt..."

Silkov, I would like to ask you how heavy is British Light middleweight contender Ricky Hatton in weight of fatness who avoided fighting any top fighters for a real World Middleweight Title? Please help me and find out. ;)

Michael Acri said he’s still waiting to hear from the Hatton camp.
Remember he said Spaddy would be ready in 6 weeks after his fight April 29th. 8)
Could that be the reason the fight was moved back a week?
Naaah…Just a dream.

I am quite positive Ricky will not be fighting Spadafora as the last I heard Spaddy was on an attempted murder charge. So I dont think he will be allowed to the U.K.

this is a total farce, Im not even in the country no refunds and have fronted 5 of the seven tickets, at least my mates are understanding and will either go / pay the money otherwise Im 550 quid down.
all for wanting to go and see a good boxing match.
as far as travelling to future shows outside London.
Finis.
we all know who is killing this sport and its not the fans.

J - you will defintely be able to get your money back. It is a clear fundamental change in the terms of the contract to move its date.
If Sports Network say no, let me know, I'll remind them of the basic principles of contract law.
