    Slice, I know you'll be delighted.

    Exciting stuff, as DeGale and Groves will meet on 9th April. I believe the fight is at The Olympia, Kensington, London.

    Your thoughts on this much anticipated fight people.

    I'm there. When the clock reads Chunky time, Groves won't know what's hit him

    Groves is a strange man and he's in trouble.

    Been a while since Olympia has hosted a major boxing event, in fact I'm having trouble remembering the last one. To be honest have always preferred Earls Court

    Hamed-Bungu was, yeah. Good shout, pretty sure Lewis-Botha was at London Docklands though?

    April 9th is way too soon, surely they'll push it back?....i'm sure Frank will tell us more after DeGale's outing tonight.

    Fighters staying busy is good. Don't see any reason why he needs 3 months to recoup from beating some scrub. Should keep the date as is.

    Good workout for Chunky, was more like a session on the bags than an actual fight but some of the shots he was pulling out of the hat were an absolute joy to watch :bears:

    It's all signed!! Moved to the O2 on the undercard of Cleverley-Braehmer. UK viewers tune into ringside tonight as both Chunky and Groves will be on the show. Should be a good one.

    DeGale was pulling out some nice shots. Busted his face up badly.

    I know, I was hoping it'd be April. I think it's because it's on PPV and the reckoning will be that Cleverleys world title shot will make it value for money. I dunno.

    No chance I'll be buying a pay per view for non world level fights.

    To be fair I'm not even that interested in Cleverley-Braehmer. I'm gonna go to watch this live, will be a cracking atmosphere

    Enjoyed being at the boxing last week. It's like a football crowd except better looking, better dressed and younger.

    Speaking of which, De Gale brought a fucking HAREM of the best looking birds Iv'e personally ever seen. About 6 or 7 of them, about 4 different ethnicities. Walk-into-a-wall hot.

    Nice stuff! It's one thing I'll give Hypemaker Haye credit for as well, he brings some absolute STUNNERS down to his fights.

    I'm as straight as a die and I imagine I'd get all flirty and giggly if David Haye turned on the charm.

    Yeah you gotta give credit to DeGale for packing in so many fitties, he does look a little bit like a depressed horse :lol:, probably has to try a bit harder than David :lol:

    May 21st makes a lot more sense, it's my birthday for a start. Plus they'll have ample time to promote the fight....they have a lot of ticket selling to do if they are to fill the 02.

    Not sure how the promotional end of it has played out, i thought Caldwell won the purse bids. Perhaps Warren showed Groves, Booth and Caldwell how much money could be made if this fight were to take place at the 02 and probably on ppv.
