I've had a few sessions at the sports bar in Haymarket, where we'd go to (say) 100 Club for a gig, grab late beers at the bar then head to our booked booth at the sports bar where we'd be until 7 when the fight was over ie. Hatton v Mayweather.

Then down to a club in Vauxhall.

Bugger that !

I'll not even get out of bed this eve and hopefully will only need to be awake for 90 mins or so if I'm lucky with timing !

I went to bed early for Mayweather Hatton, and got about 4 hours sleep before making my way to a friend's in Crystal Palace. That was a good night, and DC I seriously recommend you try and get some shut eye.


The fight is scheduled for 4am our time, which means it could be any time between 4 and 6.

Mayweather totally owned Marquez, to the point of making him look almost amateur.

Marquez is the only guy who's (in my view) equalled Paquiao during their contests in recent years.

So, for me (and I know you shouldn't use such simple maths when comparing like this), Mayweather will let Pacman come in and defend as usual in his perfect style.

Floyd's not going to war until (if) he sees Pacman hurt or slow.

I have just tagged Quids and Otta on FB. I once had a school fight with Eamon Loughran, who went on to be world welterweight champion, one of the titles up for grabs tonight. :)


He said to me do you want to fight or do you want to box, I warn you that I'm the best boxer in Ballymena, so I recommend you don't choose to box....I chose fight and it didn't last long but at least I didn't box and I still have a nose and head.


Ps. There are regular photos of Eamon and Liam Neeson on FB. Liam Neeson fought at the same club as a boy.


Local heroes.

Almost identical except rounds 9 and 10.


I watched last night, and it must have been so frustrating for Manny. But Mayweather's reach advantage was so obvious, and Manny couldn't get in on him.


He did hurt him a coule of times though.

Anyone watch the domestic boxing at the weekend ?

Skeete, Mitchell, Buglioni.

Good British contests.


Then in Germany, Felix Sturm actually lost hit title to a non-German (a Russian) on POINTS !!

Then in USA there was Alvarez v Kirkland (good first upper cut, the boy walked right on to it).

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
