Ive just watched the Appleby v Simpson fight and it was a cracker,Appebly is unbeaten now and a champion at 20 years old.He's got a great future imo.I also see Mayweather has officially retired from boxing.....again!

Watched that fight as well, Appleby looks a real talent and just seemed too busy for Simpson to cope with. I really like the look of Paul Truscott as well, another young featherweight who won the commonwealth title on Sky a few weeks back.

Just been watching M'Baye v Ngoudjo on Eurosport and they bloody lost the connection just after the 12th round finished with both fighters celebrating and they never got it back so I haven't got a clue who won! Pretty annoying!

Ngoudjo won unamimous points decision,he's now mandatory challenger to Paul Malignaggi's IBF title.Ive just read the report but didnt see it,he won after a thumb in the eye in the 3rd virtually closed it.

Cheers, the Eurosport commentators seemed pretty convinced M'Baye had done enough to win the fight so I'm surprised it was a unanimous decision. I can't see Ngoudjo beating Malignaggi really, well so long as he cuts his hair before getting in the ring this time.

Lockett v Pavlik tonight, I can't see an upset happening but it should still be worth a watch anyway.

I read in the paper this morning that there is talk about the possiblity of a Ricky Hatton v Oscar De La Hoya Superfight in September now that PBF has retired. No idea what weight that would be and it doesn't make alot of sense in boxing terms, but financially it makes alot of sense.

Unsurprisingly Lockett got his backside handed to him by Kelly Pavlik, who I reckon is going to boss that division for years to come.

Especially when Joe Calzaghe retires. Be interesting to see if they fight each other or not.

Not going to happen. JC has too much to lose. Roy Jones is the safest option and thats whom I expect him to fight.

It's on the BBC Sports Ticker at the moment, saying it wont happen, but there's no story at present.
