Really hope this isn't true now. Just read that the fight will be at 147. Ridiculous if Katsidis is going to try and fight at that weight. He is too small for light welter.

What makes you think Hatton will be any better than Katsidis is now when he returns? Katsidis has stayed in shape, stayed busy and fought some quality fighters while Hatton has done nothing but get fat.

Surely Burns can't be much longer for the lightweight division? or Broner for that matter? Division above looks a bit more interesting: http://www.wboboxing.com/wp-content/pdf/WBO_Ranking_as_of_Sept_2012.pdf

No sign of the jakey yet. He must getting a few purple tins.

He's only had 8 fights and lost 1. Was stopped by Kieran Farrell, KO'd by a body shot.

They only confirmed his opponent today so I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

Confirmed as Joe Elfidh today I think.

Nah, I'm not too hopeful about what he might be like after 3 years of booze and beak.

Didn't realise it was SECC this time. Did they sell out?

What the fuck is with that guys pony tail?

Quality is a bit better on boxingguru.eu

Just went on youtube to find some footage of the young Emile Heskey at Leicester but got distracted by this.

Mitchell can be a great boxer to watch and I hope he can find a way to make it pay against Burns. He looked brilliant against Murray last time I watched him. Murray is very much a 'go foward' kind of boxer though which suited Mitchell perfectly, Burns is an altogether different prospect. Somehow I just can't see Mitchell getting around that Burns jab. Burns points or Mitchell jabbed to death going for broke late on I think. Nothing against Burns, he seems a good guy. I'd rather watch an on-form Mitchell though.

Also well done that guy who got the kids to swap sides when walking off the pitch. That was some quick thinking right there.

Johann Cruyff smoked shitloads. Didn't Berbatov get clicked smoking?

It was only the 'Always the victim...' ditty. It's not even a Hillsborough song.

For the most part, it always was shite. Tim Lovejoy was and is an unfunny prick.

I've been having a look through some of the documents that have been released, this one makes interesting reading: http://hillsborough.independent.gov.uk/repository/docs/HOM000003170001.pdf The Police Officer statements seem to stress the 'alcohol' influence a little bit too much for me. Seems like they were sticking to the 'party line'.

Should be interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19560216?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Best goalkeeper goal. Best pitch invasion. Best footballing moment. Ever. What a day.

I know it's been said a few times above and I could easily just google it but... ...who the fuck is Dario Conca

Who is the other Annan player they have sponsored?

Given the discussion and events of the last few days, it is amazing that members of this forum could post a Sun article and start discussing it like it's fact.
