Better than Madison Square Garden.
I assumed he would fight Jack Catterall again, even with the injury.Quote:

Hope it doesn’t do as much damage to the pitch as Elton John did.
Pity he's patching the Catterall fight. Will hang over him for a long time. Either way happy enough to take in a fight at Easter Road. Pitch is a **** mind.
Might relay the pitch with the money since its the end of season. Will be 10x the international interest in this fight compared to Catterall.
Wonder if season tickets will be valid
Can I get my usual seat before a general sale? 🤣

Mad eh. The chance of bother here on a Saturday night or a Hibs Ross County at 3pmQuote:

Take it you'll only get in if you don't have a COVID passport?
I see what you did there 🤭Quote:

Hope it isn't at Easter Road, pitched looked pretty poor against Dundee United and any kind of event just makes it worse.
In May/ June the pitch will be fineQuote:

Get the proclaimers at ER in the same week. Has to happen.
Then re-lay the pitch!
Good extra revenue for the club.

Prefer this to having to endure another fight v Catterall. It was a crap fight, their styles didn't really gel and the only reason anyone wants to see it again is because of the totally OTT 'robbery' stuff.
This is a Top Rank fight its the American Bob Arum and ESPN, hence they will have no interest in Catterall. Lopez is still big business in the US and Mexico, winner will get another big fightQuote:

Are we not meant to be laying a brand new pitch this year. It was put off last summer due to the tail end of Covid.
Surely only the unvaccinated or the right wing conspiracy theorists he seems to constantly retweet/agree with on Twitter?Quote:

Catterall would have been better off making other fights before now, shame he never (tough titty). For a guy of ambition, he's been too inactive
I'm sure the next phase of stadium improvements is a new hybrid pitch and this summer was earmarked for its installation.
So any events in late May/ start of June should tie in well with the plans.
Fight can only go ahead if all woke LTN measures have been removed around the surrounding area too.Quote:

And he knows he's nowhere near as good as some think. He had his big chance and knows his one big payday is the re-match with Josh. There's a reason he's not interested in Prograis or Ramirez. Would be nice to see Josh shut him (and his English fans) up but also funny if Josh decides to take another route.Quote:

i just don’t think he was motivated enough by the Catterall fight.😞
I don’t think it was a motivation thing. When we saw him on the big screens before he walked out he didn’t look in great shape, making the weight had maybe taken too much out of him.Quote:

He came back into camp much heavier than usual, and struggled after Covid and a chest infection. I honestly don’t think he will have more issues with the weight providing he comes back into camp healthy.Quote:

He had covid? I thought he was a “Pure Blood”. Surprised he contracted anything with him being invincible.Quote:

Then you get tits like Kelbie and Hughes further down the chain living great lives whilst supposedly being bankrupt. Scotland is corrupt as f***.

Probably loosely related but I’ve got sympathy for professional sportsman who don’t want to take vaccines. These guys have dedicated their lives to their bodies and monitor closely what they put into it. For them to be told just to trust the government and put whatever they say into it, when the government have been so untrustworthy I can understand the scepticism. That message of support falls down for the likes of Taylor when there’s been accusations of him taking coke but as a general point I get it. Probably stands more true for the likes of Djokovic than Taylor but even still, seems relevant.
Which is fair. But JT is constantly telling other folk not to, as well as ripping into those who do.Quote:

No doubt he is just a young man that believes every conspiracy theory and political propaganda piece he reads on the internet without question. There are millions of young men just like him.
Wouldn’t open my curtains to see him fight.
Anyone agreeing with GB News and Dan bloody Wootton needs their head severely examined.
At first glance I thought that read "head severed".....:greengrinQuote:

Best keeping his opinions to himself.
I know he's a Hibs fan but i'd very much enjoy seeing Taylor get knocked out.
Thankfully, I go to watch him box, not listen to his political views and social commentary.

Great fight for Catterall. I agree Prograis will win. But I thought that when he fought Taylor tbhQuote:

He’s a friend of a friend but never actually met him. Comes across pretty well in the documentary I seen of him (but I guess people often do).
Glad I’m not on Twitter. But I know plenty people that can talk utter ***** but aren’t really bad people. I reckon it’d be easy to dislike a lot more people I know if my only experience of them was their tweets.
The anti vax stuff annoys (and baffles) me. But again, I know one or two others who have come out with such havers that aren’t bad people.
We’re aw slavers, that’s fine. We’re no aw racists though [emoji2371]Quote:
