Well after 4 fights some justice was finally done. Marquez should have at least 2 more wins over Pac IMO, and I'm so glad he managed to get the win in such emphatic fashion. Its clear Pac has been on the decline for a while, probably since the Hatton fight as his punch output has reduceded and he has become more involved in politics. It also seems clear to me that any chance of a fight between Pacman and Mayweather is just about dead in the water, although I've never been that bothered about seeing it because I've always been convinced Mayweather would be just too good for Pac. In many ways it could prove good for boxing as it gives the likes of Bronner, Gamboa, Rigondaux, Gary Russell Jnr, Golovkin, and Donaire the chance to really step up and become boxing's next big star.

On the subject of steroid use in boxing, there was an interesting article posted by a top boxing journo about Mayweather's steroid use. I'll try to find it and post a link on here.

The Brook-Alexander fight is off because Brook has an ankle injury. Hearn hopes the fight will still takes place in February or March at the latest. Its a shame because I fancied Brook to KO Alexander.

Looking forward to a good weekend of boxing:

Khan-Molina (apprantly Angel Garcia will be one of Molina's assistant trainers and will oversee Khan's hands being wrapped)
Donaire-Arce.
Groves-Johnson.

at least the brook fight will still go ahead, if its in new york though he will have to be very good if it goes to the judges cards!

khan should win shouldnt he but said that before..

donaire looks very good

groves should get the win on points, will be hard to stop johnson

next superstar.. how about the young mexican alvares?

Alvarez looks to be being groomed as the next big Mexican star, and he's looked good so far although, he needs to step his competition.

I reckon Groves will stop Johnson, Johnson is now so far over the hill its sad.

Looking forward to the Khan fight. Interesting to see if Virgil Hunter will have any impact on his performance, Roach said last week that he won't be able to change Khan.

Looks like Price is fighting Tony Thompson next in Liverpool in Feb. It will be the 3rd fight in a row Price has fought someone over 40.

On a better note, Fury-Price has now gone to a purse bid.

tony thompson

what a joke, did you see his last fight? soon as he felt wlads jab he didnt want to know, heavyweight division still a joke.

khan can change his trainer but he cant change his chin.

Yes, but he can learn to protect it in a much wiser way - Look at Lennox Lewis. It could easily be argued he had a dodgy chin, but he learnt to protect it and box to his own strengths.

Khan needs to learn he has to use his speed of hand and foot and to simply box, rather than get engaged in Tyson-style brawls which, while entertaining, are suicidal for Khan's long term future.

Personally, I'm not sure he has the brain or the patience to become a 12 Round points win- type boxer.....I would expect a win tomorrow night and maybe a few more impressive wins in the near future, but he is an accident waiting to happen - Makes for good viewing though...

if khan loses this one he running out of people to blame!

fully expect him to win but i expected him to win the last two and he didnt, if he loses its back down to european level.

would of got more respect if he had gone and revenged his losses, prescott etc but instead just picked other easier fights..unlike froch, marquez, pacman

or even get the fight of 2011 back on with maidana!!!! look at pacman and marquez they have rematches... every body wanted to see a rematch but he didnt want to know, thats why people dont respect him like the other true warriors.

the talk of fighting mayweather was laughable.

think he will go for garcia next if he wins but this would be a massive danger with garcias punch power, wouldnt surprise me if he dodges him

Very accomplished performance from AK.
Molina was brave but limited.

yep khan gets the job done against a smaller guy again and someone who shouldnt of been in the same ring really.

but khan broke him up round after round...got caught again which he will at world level.

talking garcia again now.. khan has browen both hands though, wonder how long this will kepp him out.

ward asking froch to make him an offer



groves won on points as expected

....Its obvious from the tone of your posts that you don't rate Khan, but you do make me laugh with this assumption that once he gets hit by a big puncher then he will get knocked out?

The fact is, he has only been knocked out twice, both times against fighters he could be accused of under-rating....The biggest puncher he has ever faced, Marcos Maidana, he outboxed and, despite some scares which were only to be expected, he looked very good and very well prepared.

It seems to me that Khan's biggest enemy is over confidence - The more people expect him to get ko'd, the less its likely to happen, and vice versa when he faces a seemingly easier opponent.

Boxing wise, Khan is a class act....He has fast hands and hits accurately, he just needs to be more clever when he steps up to the top level.
