Yeah, at the Tokoyo Dome- where Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson- with a 55k crowd.

Happliy a) it's on Sky and b) it's a bank holiday!

Happy days! Nice little bit of viewing over breakfast on a Bank Holiday Monday!

The mega grudge match between Inoue and Nery for The Monster's undisputed titles 12 days before Fury Usyk as well.

Another belting fight! Is that gunna be 10am on a Monday morning? Assume it's in Japan?

Isn't Josh Taylor v Catterall 2 the week in between too?

You're right, it is. What a fortnight of boxing that is going to be! Can't wait! 

Some line up for 1st June.

Deontay Wilder-Zhilei Zhang
Fillip Hrgovic-Daniel Dubois 
Ray Ford-Nick Ball
Ammo Williams-Hamzah Sheeraz
Craig Richards-Willy Hutchinson

And that's even before the undisputed main event, Beterbiev v Bivol.

Fury v Usyk 18th May and then this 2 weeks later. Can't wait! 

Knew it! 

Think there was a bit of a commercial decision in that decision too. Be a lot of clamour for a rematch.

Shame not to see a winner after they both gave so much, but on the other hand neither deserved to really lose either.

Brilliant fight. Draw would be fair imo.

Agreed. Absolute war! So much blood on the canvas and both fighters absolutely dead at the end and gave it absolutely everything. Think a draw would be fair.

Decent scrap this so far not best in quality though!

Agreed. Becoming a proper scrap this. Wardley is a bit erratic, but has that wildcard element to him. Fraze the better technically.

If anyone is not going today and isn't able to sell their tickets, so seats are going empty, would appreciate a shout as I've got tickets but in Lower Dolman and the rain is not going to do us any favours there! If there are any unused seats elsewhere with better protection from the rain we will happily keep the seats warm for you! Thanks.

Went to Cow and Sow on Queen Square last night using First Table offer (50% off food bill). Was bloody lovely! 3 course meal for 4 people, including loads of sides, £5 supplement for steaks and service charge, came to just £140. Saved over £100 with the First Table app. Brilliant offer. And to top it all off, on a Monday they allow you to bring your own wine for only £5 per bottle corkage charge, so that saved us a fortune on drinks too!

Have you got a link please?

Dhgate

I used a seller called ul080512 and was very good. Paid £11 per shirt, with free delivery. Delivered in about 2-3 weeks.

Mine arrived from China last week! Nice shirts. 

Anyone been to Cow & Sow in centre? Any good?

Encouraging signs for Tuesday with the Southampton game yesterday? Yes they won in the end, but by all accounts didn't play well and Huddersfield really took the game to them. Huddersfield were 2-0 and 3-2 up, and Southampton needed three late goals to get the win. Shows that they are not completely unplayable.

Surely the acts already announced are the 'bigger' acts too, who will be on the main stage, which means that the other acts to be announced will likely be 'smaller' acts for the small stage? Can't see any of those already announced doing the small stage.

Yea decent line up tonight. Should be a decent fight between Buatsi and Azeez.

Anyone interested in Conor Benn in Vegas too? On at the same time right?

Bivol v Beterbiev on 1st June too, with the 5 Matchroom fighters v 5 Queensbury fighters on the undercard.

Fury v Usyk rearranged for 18th May

Anyone know if the game is scheduled to be broadcast by any overseas channels?

Perfect. Thank you.

I think your childs view will be restricted given that everyone stands so the rails will be the least of your issues.  

Thanks. Not bringing child with us to this game, but just not sure my dad (over 65) will appreciate the standing etc!

Can somebody please confirm which blocks in the South Stand form the Singing Section/Section 82 with the rail seating? Is it S25 and S26, or just S26? I have managed to buy tickets for the Leicester game in S25, but not sure whether we want to be in singing section as with an Over 65 and standing throughout game may be an issue. Might consider moving seats, but wanted to double check first. Is there likely to be standing in S25? Thanks for any help.

Based on that I'd be more concerned about the replay than what would follow.

Agreed. We've got a better chance of beating United at home than we have of beating Forest away.

Gutted for Maidstone. Almost had the dream draw against Man City.

Definitely police advice there and so then can fit more chat in before the one sided Liverpool game .

Yea maybe. Although they'll be kicking themselves if Brentford win the replay! It's all due to tv companies getting what they want. As you say, more time to talk about Liverpool! Kicking off before noon is ridiculous! No thought for the fans or the players.

Is the West Brom game seriously kicking off at 11:45am? Ridiculous!
