Honestly though, Kimbo reminds me somewhat of Ernie Shavers in his style and power.

Can't find any information to say that the fight has been postponed or cancelled, but have Sky lost the rights to Price v Sexton? It's just today been removed from their schedule

I can't see anything that would indicate any cancellation. It should be on Sky as they're paid for the rights for a number of Price fights, I believe they have this one and the next two.

Ortiz-Berto has been cancelled after Berto tested positive for Steroids!

Berto test highlights disturbing trend - Yahoo! Eurosport

Looks like the Ortiz will still be fighting though, GBP have said they should have an opponent in the next two days.

Price was perfect tonight I thought, definately time to move past domestic, I wouldn't think a World title shot should be too far away, certainly 2013.

As awesome as that would be, there is the difference in weight classes. Unless they go for a catchweight.

Read one report where Ortiz said he will fight anyone GBP have instore between 140 to 150. If he was to drop down to 140 then that would be possible.

Maidana has been mentioned for both but wants an end of July fight. Ortiz doesn't want to move dates and Khan wants mid-July, possibly because Ramadan starts around July 20 and he wouldn't want to fight then!

Good question, and on the subject of which...

Seen Price mention he'd love to get on the undercard of the next Khan fight, would give him some great exposure and I'm pretty sure the US will take to him straight away. How about Seth Mitchell? Would be a risky opponent but if Price could put him away he'd really get the attention of the US fight fans!

With regards to Khan, either Ortiz or Maidana(part II) would be fantastic! Hope one or the other happens, with Price on the undercard I'd be tuned right in for that one

Would have preferred Ortiz or Khan v Maidana II but never mind.

Only seen one fight of Garcia(against Morales) and personally wasn't impressed after the hype, I thought Morales won that fight.

Still, will wait and see, hopefully be a decent match-up.

Danny Garcia is good
Has an unbeaten record wouldn't want to lose to khan
But I think khan wins this unless Garcia is calm and collected could nick it

Bute vs froch Saturday can't wait

There's been alot of talk from Froch about how the home support could intimidate Bute, but from the weigh-in it was the Bute fans that were the vocal ones which was a little surprising.


Of course don't expect it to be that way around tomorrow night Can't wait now!

WOW what a performance. I fancied froch but not that early, Best british performance on the world stage i've seen since hatton's v tszyu. Think i agree with barry mcguigan that bute won't want a rematch, bring on kessler. Well Done The Cobra

absolutely agree - top class stuff - Bute never got into the fight and Carl gave him an absolute schooling - no way that rematch will take place - far to 1 sided.

Fantastic fantastic performace! What a night and what an atmosphere there aswell, I was there for my Birthday and couldn't have asked for a better day

I said the same thing last night about the rematch, really can't see Bute wanting it, as McGuigan rightly commented, he just got ripped to shreds last night!

Kessler rematch next defiantely

Kessler or ward

Bute hasn't really fought great fighters
And froch with super six he's learnt a lot

I see Malony is considering Fraudly for Prices next opponent, I hope to God that's a joke!

What on earth can Harrison bring to the table, one touch of Prices glove and he'd clam right into his shell for the remainder of the fight. No chance of being tested for anywhere near 12 rounds!

Price is right for Harrison | Sky Sports

Honestly I hope they look past oppoents such as this, Price needs to be moving up with each fight from here, the Klitschkos aren't going to be around forever.
