Anyone else going to the show on the 12th November? Really looking forward to it.

Yes I been a few of them this year and last not bad shows and this one is a great bill

Jamie McDonnell in a fairly dangerous fight, could be interesting.

Yeah it used to be called the Stab Inn but they've started doing cocktails.

There is no Hilton in Monaco, try the Hotel De Paris.

Alternatively, dock in Cannes and get the helicopter.........

Trust you to know these things

I remember the first time I stayed at a nice hotel. I was pure amazed at the ice machine

Simple minds and all that

Looking forward to this show actually,McDonnell, Smith and Murray could all have tough nights

I actually haven't seen that much of Ortiz, most of his fights aren't shown here for some reason unless he's on a big card,I only seen highlights of the Jennings and Thompson KO's, he does have real power and could be a major player in the division but he needs to be more active at this age,if he screws about like most Cubans then he'll end up too old to make an impact

I've seen enough of Scott to know he probably won't last 2 round with Ortiz, he quit against Chisora and "misjudged" the count and he blatantly dived against Wilder,I don't think he cheated I just question his heart when he gets hurt


I think Ortiz will KO Scott in a round but I'd probably rather Malik won because Luis is a dirty drug cheating pudendum

Tickets now in hand and looking forward to flying out on Thursday

fly out to vegas on thursday anyone got an idea what time in vegas this card will start cheers

It was a big domestic clash. The Americans don't watch that many of their own, let alone two foreign guys, neither of whom were number one. Only Camp Eddie thought it was the biggest fight in the world.

He does year round drug testing with VADA now out of his own pocket.

Know where that place is me had the missus had a bite to eat there when went to vegas nice little spot think with ortiz been on might get abit more interest from the yanks

I've liked Ortiz for years and he's a beast, but I think Malik Scott has the right style to cause him problems.

Who are the sanctioning body here? Does Monaco have it's own equivalent to the board of control or their own athletic commission or does boxing fall under the French or Italian boards?

Federation Monegasque de Boxe

McDonnell's opponent Solis is a former world Super Flweight champ he also lost a wide decision to Yamanaka for a world Bantamweight title i so imagine its another opponent Jamie will dwarf,I would've like to have seen him fight the real champ Warren ,I thought that was gonna happen next,I haven't seen Solis so I'm not sure if he'll trouble McDonnell but I think Jamie's a lot more experienced at this level,he does have a habit of going through the motions when he looks as if he's not up for but usually finds his feet like last time against Vargas,he's got a terrific engine,hopefull he does the bizz and gets Warren or Haskins rematch next

Be interesting to see Ortiz weight on Friday. He was a career high of 243 lbs last time out. Wouldn't wanna see him any heavier. He was 239 against Jennings and I thought he looked a bit sluggish carrying that mid rounds. He's 38 in March so surely it's this then title shot?

As a side anyone else see a likeness to Riddick Bowe ?
