As all the talk is about hatton, how do you think the following fights will go at weekend,

Arthur in with foster.

And undefeated Barrie jones 15-0 going in with gary young 18-1

Young V Jones is off!

how comes, who has pulled out?? every fight gary seems to get is off for some reason.

I don't think Arthur vs Foster is a great fight - I'm not sure what Foster has done to deserve a shot either.

I know we got a few mancs on here who think Foster can do the business, and I would like to see it happen if I am being honest, but I see this as just one of those easy matches for SN to throw together and bring a few shillings in.

Doesn't look like a decent undercard at all. I wonder which fights Setenta will show.

This card is pretty bad even by SN standards. Foster doesnt deserve his shot, he's beat absolutely noone.

As for the undercard, you've got a couple of decent fighters in Ricky Burns and Willie Limond but neither has an opponent only days before the fight. You just know they'll end up boxing a couple of journeymen with losing records. Why is allegedly totally incapable of matching boxers in competitive fights? Its a fvcking joke.

Gary Young is always pulling out injured since McNeil beat him...he only fights if its 100% he wins the bout

wouldnt say that, gary seems a genuine guy who wants to fight, but he does need to prove himself after that mcneil loss.

saying that mcneil is a good fighte only been beaten when fighting above his weight and at late notice

Is AA/Foster on TV tonight, Friday? - Nothing in the paper suggests it is - Sky doing a re run of Hatton/Mayweather at 10.30 - Checked the EPG for Setanta and there seems to be nothing - Can anyone help please. :( :( :(

The fight isn't til tomorrow!! Its on Setanta.

Waylon, it's on at 8.20, so I'll be sending the missus off to the bedroom to watch the rest of X Factor while I tune into Setanta.

Does anyone know what time the main event will be on? Cos im going out this afternoon and im certainly not rushing back to watch the undercard!

Hi Chesh its the kitchen for my missus, for the same show - Lets hope my prediction for X Factor works out better than the boxing - Rhydian just has to win, that all smiles sickly brother and sister act are awful.

anyone really fancy fosters chances? will he be able to cope with the strength and power of arthur???

Chesh, people seem to think the supposedly nasty Simon Cowell is the first to play that role in a show looking to find a new star - Do you remember Tony Hatch, he was every bit as nasty and had the most smackable face on TV at that time - Married to Jackie Trent and wrote hits for Peculier Clark and others, Downtown and the Neighbours theme tune etc etc - By the way Pet Clarks paid nanny also looked after me when I was a young boy after school etc - The big difference was my parents were quite poor and she did it as a favour living nearby.

Yes, I remember Tony Hatch well, Waylon. The original "Mr. Nasty". The show was "New Faces", a rival to "Opportunity Knocks". A 16-year old Lenny Henry got his break there, as did the late Marti Caine. I think it was presented by Derek Hobson who also presented "Mr & Mrs". You're right about Tony Hatch - the type of face you'd never tire of twatting! I think he also wrote the Thames TV theme tune which earned him a fortune as it was played about fifty times a day. Those Pet Clark somgs were pretty good though. My predictions for tonight: AAA TKO 9 and Rhyddian on points.

Have got Billy Smith on in the background here against Burns. Smith looks to be giving him a good little fight. Don't know if he's standing in or if Burns is just ticking over or what.
Go on Billy lad !

How much longer to the main event and is anybody going to be doing RBR or giving updates? Much appreciated!

Yes, VERY much appreciated. I heard they are gearing up now...

Not sure how long till the start, theres an 8 round undercard fight just beginning now though

Oh... then it won't begin before, let's say, about 23:40 GMT...
