After watching Frank turn red, white, then green while watching Khan on Sat night, I am seriously worried about his blood pressure in the run up to this one.

What colours will he be turning this time, as his prized fighter with delicate chin steps in with someone who can actualy punch. Hard.

Should be a good one, don't think there's any way it can't....

Our lass wants me to paint the hall Warren coloured, I said does she mean terracota?

She said no, more mauve.

[Obviously, I had to ask what that was but you get the drift].

I thought he'd sat on a wet seat in the sixth.

I think Enzo will batter the smaller Braithwaite.

I second that, although not because of size.

What are the odds on Enzo by KO?

Dean Powell has the best colour of the lot, a sort of orange/bronze tantastic look he always sports to the weigh ins. Is he constantly on holiday or just overdoing it with the old Boots St. Tropez cream?

But what about the Khan family on Sat, don't know if you saw it on telly but at one point I thought his Dad and brothers were going to jump into the ring. His Dad actually smacked the advertising board that sits on the outside off the ring and some lackey had to grab it and fix it. Brilliant.

Warren looked worried but not as bad as he was when he was at ringside Naz vs. Kelley.

the big truck is gonna mash the big mac into the road.

braithwaite in 6.

If Mark Hobson, Marcelo Dominguez, Bruce Scott and Lee Swaby can hurt Enzo then so can Braithwaite.

Big Truck possesses an abysmal defence, stupidly keeps switching between southpaw and orthodox, but he's very quick and he cracks hard. If he lands first he'll take Enzo out early - I can't see this going past 3 rounds.

Enzo must keep tight, establish his jab and make use of his considerable height and strength advantages. I seem to recall one time that Braithwaite was considering boiling down to light-heavy.

If Khan was to lose, F rank Warren would have heart failure as it would possibly be the end of his ITV contract. If Calzaghe loses bloody it would send W rren into orbit. If Maccarinelli loses no one would give a toss.

i think that braithwaite has the better chin of the two, big truck has fought opponents that make enzos opponents look hideous.

im going for braithwaite in about 3 rounds, do we have any odds on this ?

unless of course 'big truck' has received the 'big buck' .. !! and i mean before fite nite !

Can Braithwaite take a decent punch.

Braithwaite can blow hot and cold but he has big fight experience, can punch a bit and switch hits. This all makes him a live opponent in my eyes and a significant step up from the likes of Bobby Gunn and Marco Heinichen. Macarinelli will need to come through and look good to make a statement on the world scene. I worry about Macarinelli's punch resistance but hopefully it will be a solid encounter for however long it lasts.

Don't forget Braithwaite has gone toe for toe with Mormeck and stopped Cantatore in Italy, it's an interesting one.

once upon a time big truck was looked upon as the next best thing since sliced bread, he was a long time unbeaten and i remember watching a tv documentary on him, does he still wear the nice multi coloured shorts ?

7/2 Braithwaite with Bet365 at the moment

11/4 with Stan James who also have round betting Braithwaite 33/1 most of the early rounds,

1/5 Arthur against Gogoladze 3/1 the Gerogian generally, again round betting with Stan James.

Hope this helps guys

Yes you could see the Khan family freaking out ringside as well. His dad was holding back a large woman who looked like she was about to jump into the ring!

Would be worth £2 a round for the first 3or 4 on big truck, wouldnt it?

Macca knocks him out then everyone says Braithwaite is shot...

Braithwaite beaten better fights than Macca

I'll say it now.

good. so you can give Macca credit for the win then, on Saturday.

Are you sure yopu don't want to bail out with - Braithwaite is a natural light heavy / Braithwaite lost his biggest fights / Braithwaite is not in his prime?

LOL

I not slated Macca.

Braithwaite lost his biggest fights

He did.

Braithwaite is not in his prime?

He isn't.

Yes, it is DECENT, but Braithwaite's not what he was 2-3 years ago. Solid top 10 and I have no complaints, but it's not the top-drawer affair some are making it out to be.
