I'm pretty sure Eurosport have O'neill Bell & Rothman on tonight then next week they have Carl Froch & Henry Porrass or vice versa

On Tuesday nights show I think they said they were showing the Froch fight tonight.

To confuse issues further their (usually most reliable of their sources) website is saying tonights action is Peter vs Sykes.

All ways it sounds like an interesting bill.

I've just checked my cable listing for tonight and it's up as Bell v Rothmann :lol: I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Damn Peter will get owned by Wlad unless he hits him hard enough.

Thanks Max, just caught it :TU:

That's the first time I've seen a full Peters fight - he's nothing special really is he?
Hard puncher, but pretty crude. The over had right looks a bomb, but someone like Wlad should be able to avoid it easily enough you'd think, unless he panics that is.

Holdsworth, who sounds more like Basil Faulty everyday, calls him overrated, and that looks about right.

Shows how poor the heavy division is these days, when a guy like this meets the already exposed Wlad, and it gets everyone talking.

A few years back, a quality fight like Tua/Ibeabuchi hardly rated a mention in the run up....

Missed the fight but have it on DVD somewhere anyway so will watch it later, glad i saw the light and picked Wlad in the prediction league, it was a real pick 'em which way to go but i eventually sided with the big fella.

If Wlad doesn't fold from a clean shot he should be able to own him easily. Peter looks like he has a punchers chance but thats it, he is mostly a big wild swinger and looks like he can lose a few pounds.

Audley would batter him again if they ever fight.

So say Wlad loses on Saturday, he either gets poleaxed with a massive right hand or more than likely runs out of steam like against Brewster and Ross Puritty where does he go from there? Retirement?

If Wlad cant beat Peter he should retire.
