    Read about this the other night. * shocking for someone to lose there life like that. Hope they catch the * but it's probably unlikely.



    Cheers mate, i'll watch this again later. Burns was excellent.

    Did anyone catch Scott Harrison on the Ricky Burns undercard? He took a pretty comfortable six round decision against Joe Elfidh (7-2).

    Good to see him back in ring making some coin. He's now 2-0 since his return, and considering he never lost his world title in the ring, I'd say he shouldn't be too far away from getting back up into the top 10.

    He's fought twice in three months, so he's obviously looking to get some rounds under his belt and kick on.

    Harrison is too old to go anywhere, remember listening to him win a fight in Madison Square Garden on his way up, had high hopes for him. When I tell you he was on the Lennox Lewis undercard it gives you an idea of how long ago that was.

    Harrison is rattling on about a fight with Burns. I was a big Harrison fan before his troubles, Burns would win no contest and to be truthful Burns doesnt need the fight he will go on to bigger and better

    To be honest, I think he's just looking for a crack at a world title and some dough in the bank. He's spoken of the urgency he feels to make some money and try to make up for his past failings with his family, and he seems on track to do just that.

    He's far from world class, but he can string some wins together and maybe get a crack at the British title. I'd fancy him to have a decent chance against Gavin Rees right now if I'm honest, and I'll likely favour him more once he gets some more rounds under his belt.

    Exactly what I came in here to say. What concerns me is Frank Warren is testing the water on it already.


    It's a lose-lose fight for Ricky, Warren needs to be aiming higher.

    Price will go on to be a great boxer. Not sure if he could beat the Klitschko brothers yet, but either way he will have a very good career.

    I missed the A.Harrison fight thank * he is 1 of the worst boxers ive seen I seen the DeGale fight. DeGale needs to step up the pace a bit clearly had more class but the work rate wasnt there. The Eubank Jnr fight was on as well he was ok a bit cocky bit of a mismatch the wee guy he was fighting had a tight defence but never looked like doing anything

    I watched De Gale aswell, thought he was lucky with generous scoring. He was slightly better and more classy looking but he did take more of a beating than his opponent. Id have given him it by 1 or 2 points, not the 6 and 7 he got.

    Fury V Price would be good, seen Fury slagging him on channel 5 lol

    Aye Fury's bit was quite embarassing, he tried to make out he hated him but stumbled when saying it making it seem fake :52:
