Re: Any UFC and Boxing fans here?
Not familiar with either of them but I might check it out.
Btw my boxing buddies said that Kovalev is here training in Oxnard. Hopefully they'll have an open gym session
so I can see him do work

This should be a quick fight unless Pascal pulls a rabbit out of his hat.xcfastdude wrote:Not familiar with either of them but I might check it out.

Yeah Pascal is gonna get brain-damaged I feel
Oh well, I'm sure he's getting paid handsomely for it.

Re: Any UFC and Boxing fans here?
Yes, i'm a boxing fan! I used to go and watch Ricky Hatton back in the day before he was a superstar. The first fight I went to was Hatton vs Eamonn Magee at the Manchester Arena. It was the first time Hatton was floored as a professional. I've seen him 7 times in total including the Tszyu fight (where I met Amir Khan), the Castillo fight in Vegas and his big fight at Manchester City's stadium against Juan Lazcano. That was the last fight I went to a fight but I still follow it on TV. I've also seen Joe Calzaghe twice, although they weren't any of his big defining fights (Miguel Jimenez & Tocker Pudwill).

Not sure about Xcfastdude but for me, I'm not a big UFC or Boxing fan and just go with local boxers being on fights like Jean Pascal which is about to fight Kovalev.

Yeah I'm a big boxing fan and somewhat UFC fan (Merlin usually keeps me updated on interesting fights coming up)
Funny enough, but Pascal is from the city Merlin is from, and Kovalev is training out here in Oxnard where I live at, and they're
gonna fight each other in a week or so
Are you from England? Pretty cool that you followed Hatton closely.
There's a ton of pro fighters that either live or train here. Notably Marcos Maidana, Brandon Rios, Sergey Kovalev, and Mikey Garcia.
I know Sergio Martinez and Antonio Margarito have also had training camps here in the past.
I've never seen a fight live in Vegas but I would love to go someday. I've heard it's an incredible experience.

Hey Xcfastdude!
I'm familiar with Oxnard, I remember another fighter from there, Fernando Vargas. He wasn't bad either! Also that's where Robert Garcia's gym is as you know.
Yeah, I live not too far from Manchester. I used to go to Hatton's weigh-ins when they where at the Trafford Centre which was cool because you'd meet other people from the boxing game such as commentators, promoters and trainers. I met Joe Calzaghe's dad Enzo there who was a really cool guy, he made time to talk to me and my friends.
You should definitely go to a big fight in Vegas someday, it's amazing! If Golovkin and Canelo ever get it on, that would be the one to go to!
