    Taylor appears to have loaded his guns,..those coils are puffier than usual, it should be enough to get rid of Gary Lockett mid fight,.. but I hope he doesnt run out of ammunition and idle late,.. because even though Taylor can win 9 of the first 10 rounds,.. if he loses the last 2, 'da championship rounds!' .. people may cry that Froch was robbed, it has absurdly happenned before.

    Yup, me three. However, this fight is NOT being shown live in the UK for some insane reason. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

    Hopefully, one of you mo-fo's will manage some kind of credible RBR for us Brits... :pray:

    MTF :lol:

    Last nights fight was torture to watch, Latimore had Spinks hurt and on the canvas, only to have Spinks smother him on the inside for the remainder of the fight. I repeat very very frustrating to watch. Latimore blew it.

    If any of you fuckers are watching the fight, a round by round would be appreciated. We Brits are listening to the fight on a fucking radio channel...
