Golovkin did say'I respect Brook, but he is no middlewieght'.

Something I, and many others could have told him when they first agreed to fight.

Oh gosh no not full contact back on tonight at 8pm. Please put the show on talkSPORT 2.

Erm, no it wasn't. Full Contact with Brian Moore has been cancelled - instead we got a three-hour version of The Press Pass with Ray Stubbs between 6-9pm and then it was Danny Kelly's Trans Europe Express show about European football, which Danny hosted with Mark Langdon, between 9pm and midnight.

talkSPORT 2 has launched a new rugby union show though. The Rugby Show was broadcast after their live 3pm commentary on Exeter Chiefs v Saracens from Sandy Park with today's commentary team of Andrew McKenna and James Simpson-Daniel hosting directly after the game had concluded. It looks like 3pm Premiership rugby union commentaries followed by The Rugby Show between 5-6pm will be the order of the day on Sundays on talkSPORT 2 this season.

Strange thing happened just before the 5am news. The TalkSPORT European football expert (one of many, l might add) was discussing with Russ Hargreaves the Italian football results at the weekend when he was cut off in mid sentence by an advert! When this ended, Hargreaves didn't apologise for the aburpt break but just gave out details of the upcoming breakfast show!

This shows how amateurish a radio station TalkSPORT really is!

Well it would make a break from more Premier league chat...

Mind you the European show is good although maybe 3 hours is too long?

I just need to correct myself Mou Mou one judge had Brook in front and the other two had it level I either heard Eddie Hearn wrongly or he said it wrongly at the time.

Danny Kelly was hosting the Trans Euro Express show while midnight last night and is back again this morning covering for BigAl on the breakfast show what is up with this guy is he suffering from addictions and in bad need of the cash?.

He makes Abraham and Danter look like a pair of shirkers.

Where is Brazil? I'm sure I heard a trailer yesterday saying he was back today after a 2 week holiday.

Don't know where he is today, and he's only been away for one week. He returns on Wednesday.

That's OK Billy.

I did like the idea of Hearn's idea of fighting Khan - as he gleefully said 'boxers who hate in real life always sell more tickets'.

When Stuart Pearce was a manager, this station & their presenters used to rip him to shreds, like they do most managers unless you are a friend of the station.
Now they hang on his every word & we are suppose to believe that because Stuart says it then it must be right.
He was a good player (full of passion & I loved that).
As a manager not so good.
As a pundit only time will tell.
He is now doing a betFred advert about Sturt Pearces betting academy. Why do our heroes & I include Goughy in this have to sink to unneccesary lows.

Great win the Glory Hornet Boys. The world is our lobster.🤔🤔😀

I guess they like the way Pearce mangles the English language. He is usually a cert for clips of the week. I don't mind him by the way, but that is probably because of his playing days. Like you I loved his passion for the game.

To be very honest I do like Amir Khan more than I do Kell Brook even though Kell is from around here, some people I know don't like Amir but I just think he's a great guy and very good boxer.
However should they meet up in the ring if ever they sort of the politics I would have to put my money on Brook winning simply because Khan's history shows he has that dodgy chin which Kell Brook with his heavy bombs punching would surely exploit.

Does anyone on here ever listen to Matt Forde on this station?, I just ask because month after month [maybe year after year it seems] nothing is ever written about him on these pages it's as if he doesn't exist.

I don't listen of course I'd sooner stick knitting needles in my eye sockets than suffer him and that ridiculous laughing and giggling of his but I bet somewhere someone actually listens.

Nothing says Jim White better than his comment this morning: " David Gold is a friend of mine"! From David Gold in London to Dave King in South Africa, I bet he's never met a multi-millionaire he didn't like.
Not as much talk about "Rangers"/Sevco yet. Funny that.

Ah, yes I just heard the ad again and he says he's been on holiday for two weeks and will be back Wednesday.

It has the tune "Alan? Where where the hell is Alan?" Instead of 'Alice'.

I'd be happy if the Sunday night schedule had remained as The Press Pass 6-8pm, Full Contact 8-10pm and then you had Trans Europe Express going out between 10pm-midnight - what with My Sporting Life moving to the same timeslot on Saturday nights now that Danny Kelly's live radio hours having been pushed forward into the earlier Full Time Phone-In timeslot and them needing a replacement for his old show The Season Ticket.

But having two three-hour shows is clearly the cheaper option; for a start they no longer need to pay for Brian Moore or any producers/guest bookers unique to his programme. It's not as if they don't have the rugby union audience catered for given this new development on talkSPORT 2; clearly it's much less costly to do a magazine show immediately after a live commentary seeing as it looks like they are going to be covering Premiership games on Sunday afternoons regularly. The commentary team can stick around to host The Rugby Show and it's also playing to an existing audience who have tuned in for the live coverage. Also Andrew McKenna will be contracted to the station, as opposed to Moore who was only involved in one show per week by the end of last season.

I think with the launch of talkSPORT 2, talkRADIO and Virgin Radio, a lot of things both on talkSPORT and now six months into the new stations' life have been scaled back and downsized in off-peak timeslots. Think about the end of having live overnight newsreaders, talkRADIO simulcasting talkSPORT overnight, them re-running Two Mikes shows overnight when they are covering for other people, talkSPORT 2 phasing out much of their weekend and overnight continuity and relying on a lot of pre-records in off-peak hours and talkRADIO broadcasting mostly pre-recorded content on weekend afternoons. In this context, the cancellation of Full Contact and also Up The League shouldn't come as a surprise, and probably don't reflect the quality or popularity of those programmes.

I bet Durham will try to diminish Celtic victory. It will be Celtic beat a team in transformation, so what? or some other sneer.
He and his mate Gough were bigging up Barton big time last Friday but that will be forgotten by know it all Adrian.

This has been doing the rounds up here mate !

its a belter

Apparently Murray is going back to Fighting Talk again.

Give up now Mr Forde.

Beauty sleeps!
That has gone to a few currants I know

Kell Brook?

A good big 'un beats a good little 'un every time. Jumping two weight division jump again the best in the world. Madness.

As you said! Reduced discussion of the match to putting Celtic's fans into the head's gone slot for getting excited at beating a newly-promoted team etc etc. Thicko said nothing much- well, obviously!

I liked it when Johnny Vaughan was host it was funny back then, after he left it's never been as funny in my view. I'm not sure what you mean about Fordey was he after the gig?.

I know very little about boxing. But I think Khan will never live this down:

And I think also people think he is guilty of hubris, saying that he'll fight Mayweather when he's just not in the same league.

Personally, I respect anyone who will let someone hit them over the head at any level. I accidentally shut a wardrobe door on my head once, and that was enough for me...
