Ha, that kind of makes me chuckle cos that's the same kind of padwork Rick was taking the p!ss out of Floyd for in the 24/7 in the build up to their fight.

It's strange cos I'm more confident in him stopping Manny than I have in any of his more recent opponents. I just can't see Ricky not winning and winning well too.

Something I thought about too TBH

Floyd Snr isn't shy about the fact that he doesn't rate what Billy Graham had done with Hatton up to the point he took over, even mentioning that Hatton "nearly put him out of the gym cos he couldn't even hit pads at first".

Big respect to Billy Graham for taking Hatton as far as he did, but I get the impression that going under the guidance of Floyd Snr is the best thing he could have done because the guy is a master of technique - especially defensively.

Another thing is I genuinely think Floyd Snr's confidence has rattled the cage of Freddie Roach and Michael Moorer is a bellend anyway - one of the worst examples to follow in terms of a boxer.

Absolutely shocked that the Froch fight isn't been shown live on telly! Unless im wrong?

Its available PPV on the net for £9.99 at http://www.frochvtaylor.com Not sure if Five Live are broadcasting the commentary but it is live on BBC Radio Nottingham. Why ITV signed a deal with Mick Hennesy and are not showing this one I do not know as even an ITV 4 airing would be better than nothing. Not sure who the blames lies with but it's a shabby way to treat a rising star who is after all a World Champion.

Someone said it was to be shown on ITV4 at 8pm on Sunday but ive checked and its not.

Either Frochs promoters wanted too much or the TV companies wanted to pay too little.

Either way its dogsh:te and a bad move for Frochs attempt to make a name for himself.

hatton v's pacman.

i.m.o hatton will get hammered! both have similar fighting styles so it could well be a 'classic'? but pacman is far quicker than ricky! hatton has not been cut badly for ages but i fear he will be during this fight


i hope i'm wrong..

it was in the paper (times or independent - i forgot) that ITV4 will indeed show it at that time. and itll be on later on ITV1

good stuff

Not on the sky planner last time I looked, hope your right as with a bit of planning can avoid finding out the result

It's on the planner now 8.30 on Sunday Night ITV4.

Didn't think Froch had it in him, Well done Carl
