Sunday morning NZ time (tomorrow) at 7AM.  Burns vs Crolla.  Sky Pop Up Channel 56

Does any version of Tua lose to current day JP?
Would David blow through him like he did Shane? I dont see Parker having enough power to KO even the Tua Ustinov came up against
How would Joes chin hold up against prime Tua? His lack of footwork and head movement would be tailor made for David
And while Im at it does any version of Shane beat JP? remember that right hand he landed on Barrett? could he have put Joe to slepp with that shot?

at only 33, very underated fighter.

What's going on? This really shouldn't be allowed.
Nik the Greek in his last fight fought(and stopped in one round) a debutant, in his next fight on Saturday he's fighting another guy on debut. The week after both Cairo George (13-1) and Not Beauchamp (14-1) are fighting debutants and then next month Gunnar Jackson (25-10-3) is fighting a guy on debut, Somebodies gonna get hurt soon.

Haye is 6'3"



Hughie Fury 6'6"



I think haye probably had a bit of a footwear advantage in that pic but what height we got for Joe these days?

Yep, Sky is showing the Horn/Pacman fight on SKY, starting at 1 PM tomorrow.  Unfortunately, it's on PPV and costs $40 in NZ, $60 in OZ, and is free in the US.

This Sunday (NZ time)

Yep, this fight will be on at 1PM with a replay at 6:30 on Sky Pop Up, Channel 56.  Free.

I set up a separate thread for this as I wanted to make sure everyone saw it.  Enjoy!

after all the hype it looks like we are going to get a fight. How is this fight going to look, once the two get in the ring? How interested are you? and will this become the biggest PPV event of all time
just the pre fight alone should be epic levels of fuckery

Now the Butcher has hung up the gloves, lets have a closer look and discuss your thoughts and memories re his career
My favorite stretch of his career was from 2011-2014, in that part of his career he fought Kerry Foley twice, Blake Caperello, Trent Broadhurst, Joel Casey, Serge Yannick and Daniel Mckinnon. The only fight in that bunch Ive never seen was the Caparello fight, has anyone in here seen it? Ive heard it was close
The McKinnon fight was pone of the best undercard fights Ive seen on a NZ card, just a brutal fight and typical of a vintage Berridge peformance. The second Foley fight is also a great bout
That was Robbies level I believe because you just have to watch what kovalev did to Caparello to realise Rob would have been eaten up by elite level competition. Eventually it would all come crashing down with Vasily Lepihkin who dismantled him in a US showcase, possible Berridges worst showing.
As his career began to wind down he didnt take any easy fights and one of his best showings came against Eider Alvarez where he went the distance and landed heavy shots throughout. Honorable mention also to his fight with Sam Rapira which was a great local matchup
The biggest letdown for me was the Tahia Berridge fight, with all the anger and build up it ended up stinking out the ASB stadium as Adrian put on his running shoes and Rob looked slow and unable to cut off the ring
Anyways let me read your memories and thoughts on the Butcher

Anyone see this fight?  Sky usually tapes fights on the weekends for during the week.  I really like Russell, he looked good.  The Dirrell fight was the one where Dirrell was hit after the bell, his opponent was disqualified, and Dirrell's opponent smacked the other fighter with a great combination.  Too bad, as I thought Dirrell was losing the fight:
