You won't be missing out. Along with what steve says, Gonzales is a trier who won't give up easy, and obviously Clinton has a great chin and can dig deep. It could very well turn into a long, exciting, war of attrition... and Woods looked strong in his last fight.

It looks like a points win either way.

the ashes are more interesting than most boxing mate to be honest, but you vastly underate Clinton.

Atmopshere will be cracking, fornicate, wish I could afford the round trip to go, but with hotel etc, just too expensive.
Went to see the second Woods fight with Johnson, marvellous atmosphere, and had one of the best fights I've ever seen live on the undercard in Thompson v Rothmann...cracking.
Was also the fight where I met Mr McNeilly which was a bonus...

maybe, I am not convinced. Gonzalez will be a PTS win because of his home advantage.
But anyway I would prefer the card a wek later in Cardiff with Joe and Amir Khan.

That would not cost more than 150 quid ringside.....

id rather se wodds in his hometown than Calzaghe vs TBA and Kahn vs a knockover (not a criticism at this stage he is just starting out) but thats what they will be.
i shall treat the points, home and win comment as a joke.
plus i see brewster has officially signed to fight krasniq on Max's bday!

I really think that Woods will win on PTS. Every fighter has a home advantage, no matter in which country the fight takes place. Gonzalez won´t knock him out.
Don King, Klaus-Peter Kohl and Luan Krasniqi were on the most famous sport show at the ZDF on Saturday Night. Don King was talking fornicating bullshit and always talking that Kohl is his "brother". Such a fornicating asshole. I don´t want to know what King gets but it will be the biggest payday in Heavyweight this year, by far. I hope he won´t fornicate Brewster and at least will give him a million euros......

Yes, no doubt the judges will be looking to give max a posthumous gift by way of decision for Krasniqi....

King really doesn't give a flying fornicate about his fighters. He was willing to sacrifice Byrd to Wlad by forcing him into fighting Wlad on home turf again, now he's willing to sacrifice Brewster instead by giving him a bastard assignment on Schmelling's Birthday with a vociferous crowd backing their man all the way.
Ask fighters what happens to them when they fight in the other guy's back yard, there's all sorts of jiggery-pokery going on.

i wouldn´t doubt it. there is fornicating much money in the game. but i personally think that Luan will win when it goes to the end. He is the better boxer. But Brewster is always able to knock out.....He is damn tough. But Luan is so damn confident and maybe h will surprise the boxing world again....

yes of course. I always prefer a fair verdict and i am always trying to point objectively. But the home boxer has always a bonus. everywhere in the world, especially when he holds a world title.

yeah of course mate, otherwise no one would be bothered about home advantage. Just dont like to intimate bias before the fight has happened.
tho on the same note i see Reid is in the papers today maoning about his treatment in the US. Hopefully this will make him angry and inspire him to a decent performance on Sat.

I'm a little worried about the moaning coming from Robin before the fight, I wonder whether his confidence has
Robin seems to think judging by what Brian Hughes was saying that he's not getting enough respect, but it's lacy who is the champion, not Robin.
