Klitschko vs Leipai is on Eurosport 2 tomorrow, Klit must have sent Bunce to sleep on BoxNation

Looks like my switch to BT Infinity gets me Eurosport as well, just saw the boxing. Hopefully it won't suddenly scramble. This and UFC tonight, great stuff.

A real bloodbath saturday night with Molina vs Matthyse. Molina looked at least 10lbs heavier and Matthyse was knocked down twice, but in the 2nd half of the fight Matthyse went into monster overdrive and battered Molina with brutal shots in the 9th. A FOTY candidate definitely. Even Molina's trainer looked ready to fight with the doctor!

Schaefer says he wants to see Matthyse vs Broner. That fight would be so uncompetitive, Broner's lack of movement would make him easy meat for Matthyse. That has brutal KO written all over it.

Would rather see Broner vs Khan

Looking forward to the Mayweather Maidana fight and also the Khan Collazo fight.

Can see Khan winning if he uses his speed and stays away from a slug feat.

As for the main event, Mayweather will do what he always does, avoid Maidana's punches and stroll to a easy points win.

Sets up a Khan vs Mayweather September showdown, with Mayweather then going on to fight Hopkins next May (just my thoughts, no inside knowledge)

Khan won't fight in september because of Ramadan. It's a difficult fight to call as Khan hasn't fought for a year now and Collazo KOing Ortiz doesn't really give an indication of what level he is at as Ortiz's head is in showbiz and not boxing so that result wasn't all that impressive.

Maidana vs Mayweather... FMJ will win on points, but i'm not sure he will get as easy a ride as most people are predicting,

I can't see Hopkins and Mayweather fighting for one minute because of the weight differences. A fight I would love to see would be GGG and Mayweather.

Ramadan,this year begins at the end of June,and continues til the end of July,so should be not an obstacle for a September showdown.

Khan's on at around 3am right? Going to try and get a stream, I'd be happy to pay for the boxing tonight but BN is far too expensive...

Broner up next.

Just watched the fight with Maidana for some prefight prep, I don't think there has been a fighter more humiliated as Broner was in that fight.

Sounds like a our fellow red over in Las Vegas had a real feast of boxing to gorge on this morning. Didn't realise Anthony Ogogo was on the card as well. Another good stoppage for him.

Khan V Mayweather in London could be on....!

Chino doesn't have the word 'reputation' in his vocabulary. Not sure what fight the 117-11 judge was scoring.

Do you think Floyd won though?

On 1st viewing I thought Maidana edged it, but it was close.

I met Ogogo in the MGM a couple of days ago and watched him train for a while - lovely guy, i hope he goes far. Stopped for pics with me and my mate and just wondered about chatting in between his official stuff.

Shook hands with Amir too, he promised my mate a pic on his way out after his "fighters intro" but he disappeared! Got about a foot away from Mayweather and tried to get him to sign a glove but i just missed out!

Also blagged a VIP booth on friday for the Ishe Smith fight

Awesome experience!

Oh and Broners post fight comments have caused a bit of a stir over here

"Im the Can man, im Afri-can and i just beat the f*** out of a Mexi-can"

Apparently that makes him racist!

I was at the weigh in on friday and he was being interviewed after, i doubt it was shown on tv

Reporter "you seemed to have words with your opponent, what did you say?"

Broner "i told him im gonna beat his mutha-f****** ass"

He also rocked up to the Smith fight on friday night like he didnt have a care in the world! I dont rate him as a boxer and he is clearly a **** but he is box office!

De La Hoya isn't a fan of Broner, they might cash him out to Matthyse or Garcia (in my dreams). He's a first class twot, he'd be the most unlikeable guy in sport if it wasn't for Donald Sterling!

I utterley hate him. He has not one ounce of respect or humility and even the interviewer in the ring was full of contempt for him. Mayweather is full of it but does have standards and respects his opponents. It seems a lot of the junior welterweights are moving up to 147 now so a fight with Matthysse is very realistic and I really hope it happens as I can see Matthysse pulverising him. Broner is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is

Khan would be perfect for Mayweather, anyone think he's ducking him, with Ramadan ruling him out of the next fight and all seems he's set it up to keep him at bay.
