I am currently fighting to keep anything in my stomach for longer than 30 minutes, so I’m not sure I’ll be watching this one. Since I know at least some of you will be watching the card, have at it.

I don’t really get this fight. Matthew was doing well at a higher level than Belge, and if Ricky wants to move him onto a world title shot, he’s surely better off fighting better – rather than worse – opposition. Not that he beats even the second level of world titlists, but still. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing Quigg, who is always very good viewing and has a lot of talent.
Such were the days, still, hot, heavy, disappearing one by one into the past, as if falling into an abyss for ever open in the wake of the ship; and the ship, lonely under a wisp of smoke, held on her steadwast way black and smouldering in a luminous immensity, as if scorched by a flame flicked at her from a heaven without pity.

Well, the broadcast is starting
I’ll have it on in the background, but probably will be focusing more on work.

Ricky looking in much better shape – comeback is on. (I imagine!)

Belge isn’t quick, and he has feathers for fists. Matthew’s trying to knock him out with a really agricultural right hand; just needs to calm down, and it’ll definitely come.

Pathetic mismatch, Hatton by KO 3 via body shot.
