Frampton class above. I see him busting Quigg up actually, stopping him in about the 8th round.

Not really in either camp for this one, just hope it's a great fight.

Thought Quigg got his tactics wrong and started to late. Frampton deserved the decision but it should have been unanimous. Don't know where there judge got that score from in favour of Quigg.

Had a great day/night in manchester.

Met tyson fury. He wanted my jacket

Quigg got his tactics all wrong, frampton worthy winner.

Onto london on April 9th to watch AJ.

Had a fiver on a draw at 25/1 for lasts nights fight, but Frampton was the better man on the night. Called out Santa Cruz and no mention of Rigo. Regarding the AJ fight the title fight i think is a bit early for him but he is facing probably the easier of the champions in Martin.

Within 3/4 rounds yes. Hyping it again to sell it.

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #188 on:** March 31, 2016, 01:40:23 PM »

i wont purchase the fight i always get a decent stream

M666EYS · « **Reply #189 on:** April 08, 2016, 01:03:41 PM »

Cant wait to get down to london tomorrow.

I think AJ 1st round. Might stick a fiver on it.

Atomic · « **Reply #190 on:** April 08, 2016, 01:22:51 PM »

One of the worst "world title" fights ever. There must be about ten heavyweights for sure who are better than both Martin and Joshua.

The Sky hype is not only incredibly irritating but also largely unjustified given that there are several world titles for each weight nowadays and this is easily the weakest of the heavyweight ones.

Webby · « **Reply #191 on:** April 08, 2016, 02:47:22 PM »

Hoping it lasts to rounds 3-6. Then big money is won.

Joshua will get 8m for this if he wins, Martin is getting 6m (considering his highest pay day before was probs about 50-100kish). Madness! Nearly 1m PPV buys in UK they're expecting.

A few no doubt will be hoping for a good stream

Kodi is your friend, don't think this'll go longer than about 5 minutes though, if they walk to the ring quickly might be over before Match of the Day starts.

Close enough, took about 4 minutes and was finished in time to see the final whistle at Vile Park on MOTD!! Tremendous stuff. He'll beat Fury and Wilder before the year is out.

Martin has never beaten anyone of note, not a top 10 heavyweight, he was a ridiculous "world champion". The best he beat was Glazkov and he's just about number 15 or so. Joshua has such power he will always destroy weak fighters but when he comes up against class you'll see how one dimensional he is. Fury, Klitschko, Povetkin, Pulev, Wilder, Ortiz, are all too much for Joshua right now.

He can box as well as bomb - I think you are wrong in calling him one dimensional. Fury has the potential to make it awkward as he can move quite well and vary his game - would still back Joshua against him though.

Had a fantastic weekend in london.

Witness to history.

The only people who will trouble Josh is Fury and Klitschko. Once that right hand lands its game over.

FallOutBoy · « **Reply #199 on:** April 11, 2016, 01:10:50 PM »

Part of me thinks that if Joshua gets a big fight against Fury, Haye, etc, then he'd get found out. But then he's never had a test like that - it could be that he is that good, he'd knock them out too.

It's a catch 22. Until he fights them you'll never know, but you don't want to stick him in there before he's ready.
