Having been away, I've not been able to comment but Margarito v Cotto - What a fight! Two absolute warriors delivered a stunning fight. I'm a fan of Cotto so I was disappointed to see him lose, but Margarito is hard as nails and hit some huge bombs in the fight. Cotto apparently broke his nose in round two and as a result struggled to breath throughout the fight due to internal bleeding. He practically passed out at the end, so it was a great effort from him.

Margarito though, respect. You are one tough SOB.

Still not seen this fight, eventhough heard it was a bit of a belter. I need to have a look at thos one, especially with your write up I want to see it evenmore.

Nope - £15 or whatever it is to watch two relative nobodies? Not for me thanks.

I'm going to Manchester to watch it. Mainly cos a lad I went to school with is fighting earlier on the bill.

Agree with that. The guy obviously needs help, maybe a spell contemplating his actions will do him good, who knows?

As for Khan, not a chance. Hopefully it'll be on the radio and if so, I'll probably listen to it, but I wont be fussed if I miss it.

A bit random i know but did anyone go to the Hatton/Mayweather fight and actually get tickets for inside the arena?

I wotched it on the closed circuit in the MGM but wondered what it was like inside.

(sorry as it will probably been mentioned before but i cba to read 40 pages)

Go to a well known video site, type 'COTTO V MARGARITO' and click the 'date added' option. You'll see it further down the screen with 6 or 7 parts to it.

Not the worst undercard I've seen, some relatively interesting fights such as Matthew Macklin vs. Francis Cheka, Audley Harrison vs. George Arias, and of course the real marquee fight of the evening: Alex Arthur vs. Nicky Cook. Still, £15 is, well, £15. If Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis was part of the bill, it would've been a far more attractive prospect.

Will make do with Munroe v Matirosian and UFC 88 instead.

Floyd Mayweather Snr to train Ricky Hatton for the fight with Paulie Malignaggi in November.

A good acquistion in my opinion, will hopefully get him back to his best.

Agree, should be good for him.
