love him or hate him....if this bill holds up..its going to be awsum

maybe a little statement of intent from nice Warren

macca v banks will be exciting

foster v cook a real scrap

anthony small is alway good pantomime

ditto aforce if he threatens for one minute to stink the joint out

derek chisora who looks like a good hw prospect

and stephen bendall as well

Its not a bad bill don't get me wrong, but I suspect a hint of sarcasm in your post, funso?

Small vs TBA isn't exactly mouthwatering......

Audley?

Cook vs Foster Jnr is an Okay domestic fight.... but its a joke that a world title is on the line (doing a great disservice to the WBO champions of the past) and given how Cook outclassed Arthur, its very much a 70:30 fight at best.

Banks vs Enzo Mac is a fine, acceptable fight - toughie for Enzo to come back for.

Good to see Khan come back, but he shouldn't have any problems.

He certainly doesn't deserve a pat on the back for this. Don't forget it's PPV so he has to stack the card with quality or people won't buy it and then he doesn't get paid.

Every other show he puts on with the tv cash already safely in the bank, we get served absolute shit with established top fighters up against last minute journeymen.

The only time we get more than one or two competitive contests is when the quality of the bill will directly affect how much money he'll make.

I just got an email through about the event. No mention about Macca-Banks on the card even though it's on the fight poster.
And talking of the fight poster, one of the best I've ever seen :lol:

I'm looking forward to most of the fights on the card.
Hopefully the Walsh brothers won't be shown on TV.
Will Rogan allow Harrison to stink the place out? That'll be interesting to see.
Bendall vs Smith will be interesting. Smith must win to move forward.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Khan fight again, after all that's happened since, and during, his last fight.
Macca vs Banks should be good.
Small - I found him boring last time out. He needs a challenge or he'll be boring again (for me).
Cook vs Foster - I'm not sure whether this will be a great fight or not. Funnily enough, I haven't seen Foster box before.

It's hard to argue with this post, Mario.

Anyone going to Nottingham for the Froch show on the same night? I'll be there, but it's it's quite annoying that I'll miss the Excell show.

I didn't know it was pay per view. F that. What is also frustrating is that it is a direct clash with another very good look bill, from Nottingham, Carl Froch's world title challenge, which has a very competative undercard. I mean, for fucks sake, there is so little decent domestic boxing on at the moment, then they feel the need to run two very good bills on the same night. Surely this is counterproductive?

That is a terrible poster.

The photoshopping stinks and as for the tag-line, I see where they are coming from, but its hardly catchy is it!

I think that is a good bill though.

No mention of Sports Network. Anyone know the status of Setanta v SN?

FW seems to be pretending the company never existed

I did find it amusing that Frank was forced to advertise 'Ricky and the prizefighters' above the ring on the Kell Brook bill last week

Oh to have been there when Sky uncovered that little beauty to our favourite promoter :TU:

I didn't think much of the Excel

Might be related to the fight I watched there (Williams - Harrison 1)
