The Boxing thread
« on: July 16, 2007, 01:09:32 PM »
Anyone see this fight the other night?

A couple of knock downs, broken jaw...ouch. I'd agree with Warren though, I don't think Khan's there yet although he came back well.  happy088

You mean No evil: - You missed it?

Me too. So, we have a couple of avuncular pugilists in the pub  ;)

I haven't seen Khan getting smacked about like that before; the Scots lad gave him quite a run for his money ;D

I find the mute button very handy... as I nip to the kitchen to replenish my glass  ;)

My money's on Macca but it should be interesting.
