^ just yes

ps... Facebook status from yesterday:

Just watched Pacquiao v Margarito form last week... Margarito and Harrison are worlds apart in terms of going down with pride... end of the tenth.. Margarito has taken a beating one eyes nearly swollen shut and he's shouting MORE! MORE!.... and Harrison... well he's a joke

Did anyone actually have Jean Pascal winning that fight? Thought Hopkins had it personally.

Wladimir Klitschko's decided to re-schedule the fight against Dereck Chisora for April. I don't know why Haye's getting mad for because Chisora deserved to have this fight re-scheduled.

Haye could've fought Wladimir at the time when he decided to fight Fraudley for a pay-day instead so f'ck him. I like Haye but dude is stupid as f'ck.

In the meantime why doesn't Haye schedule a fight with Vitali and then, should Wladimir win as expected, schedule a "super-fight" with Wladimir later in the year. Should Chisora win then organise a Battle of Britain-esque fight.

Boxers nowadays are comedians.

@ Simon - When i said Chisora deserved a rematch, i didn't judge it by Chisora's boxing ability.

I merely think 'Del Boy' should have the fight with Wladimir re-scheduled simply because Wladimir pulled out at the last minute which was pretty harsh on Chisora. I was quite sceptical about Wladimir's "injury" as well.

I'm expecting Chisora to lose comfotably but the guy has absolutely nothing to lose and this is his best shot at winning a world title ever simply because there's no pressure on him.

The Klitschko's are good but both are vastly overrated, the Heavyweight division is a joke and has been since Lennox retired.

Boxing nowadays is more about the financial & technical side of things rather than proving who's the best. Too many 'knit-picking' boxers out there worried about facts & figures rather than getting into a ring and fighting the supposed best.

The only exceptions i'd say is the Light-Welterweight and Light-Heavyweight divisions.

So Klit/Chisora is off again. Has to be Haye now, has to be. Gonna be awesome.

Hyped for the Haye/Wladimir fight in june/july, hopefully it goes ahead.

I think the fight's actually gonna come off this time, thankfully. I'm not ruling out Wladimir pulling out and Vitali taking his place though. But what if Vitali grows old overnight, Solis beats him and then Wladimir pulls out? I think it's likely, and would damage all parties involved.

I reckon Haye's gonna have to keep the pressure on Wlad from the start, his punch output is awful and he's also terrible at finishing a fight. He'll spaz out and just start throwing haymakers trying to get the guy out there but will take way too long, it was shocking how long the Barrett fight went on. If he plans to box on the backfoot with his shitty punch output and look for that punch on Wladimir, I think he'll only be playing into Wlad's hands. He has to find the balance between not letting Wlad get into his game and jab his head off and not bombing on him and making it hard work for himself. If Wlad isn't intimidated by Haye like some people expect, it could be a hard nights work. Still, I don't see Haye getting knocked out despite his suspect chin unless Wlad comes to throw down, and in that case I think it's more likely Wlad has his chin shattered.

Also, Martinez will kill Cotto for those who watched the action this weekend, and I think Margarito would still beat him too. I would much rather see Mayorga vs. Margarito than Cotto vs. Margarito now. That'd be fireworks, I just can't bare to see Cotto hurt again. He's got a better chance than last time, but I was expecting his defense to be much improved after working with Steward, it isn't.
