Fight fans the 2011 season begins here!

Next biiigtime fight: Devon Alexander v Tim Bradley. If you’re not familiar with these names yet….you will be by Sunday morning! Somebodies ‘o’ must go….and the winner will complete things by taking on Amir for the undisputed championship. This is bigtime!! Tim Bradley is 27-0. We remember him best from literally ending the career of Junior Witter back in 2008. He’s the WBO light welter champ and every fight he’s been in has been ‘smash-mouth’. He’s said he’ll beat up any of Alexander, khan, Maidana, Paqman, Floyd, Berto - he’s called them all! With a couple more big wins he’ll be in everyone’s pound4pound talk. Devon Alexander is 21-0. If Bradley closed the coffin on Junior witter….Devon Alexander definitely laid him 6 feet deep and rang his bell. He’s the WBC (and should be IBF) light welter champ and he’s beaten all the top names in the division. Like Bradley, he can both box and brawl. This is could be a classic! Rudi Lorrai says: It doesn’t matter what I say, or think. I’m relegated! I smell a Bradley KO though…

Cannot leave without mentioning the return of the most controversial man in the sports since Tiger, Gray and Keys – Mr Eddie Brock. Welcome back! I’m all about forgive-n- forget, no grudges no stress. But it’s so hard to erase the scars of the Wittergate scandal of 2007. I shudder as I speak…
