Default Freddie Flintoff Fight

Anyone else think he's gonna hit the canvas pretty hard?

To be fair he seems to have developed quite a bit of power bit i'm afraid I agree. The chap he is fighting is relatively new to boxing also though.

Don't under estimate him.
Good luck Freddie.

Flintoff will be able to hold his own.
I also think he's developer a fair bit of power, and he's in good shape
The chap he's fighting isn't, infact it looks like he's carrying his fair share of fat around the belly.

I am frightened for Freddie. I saw a film on his reincarnation as a boxer. That didn't leave me with much hope. If the chap he is fighting with isn't that good, then there's a chance Freddie would win. Let's see what happens.

I'm only watching if it's free. Not paying 15 quid on Sky Sports to watch the ex-cricketer trying to be a boxer. God, I don't know what's got into him. He's clearly possessed.

Hope the other one is really **** at boxing. I don't want the gentle giant beaten to pulp. His missus likes his nose very much.

Sky is such a rip off. £10 on top of what people already pay for Sports, HD etc. W@nkers!

I can think if safer ways to lose the beer belly, maybe there's a pot of gold at the end of it

I know. Terrible.

I only pay about £21.50/month, mind. Even then, I'm not paying an extra penny to watch Flintoff's boxing. No way. Sky might repeat it at later date for free. I can tape and watch it. If not, I'll be happy with the snippets on the news or online.

TBH, I think it's better for me not to watch the whole thing. I'll be on the edge and feel really bad if he gets knocked out as soon as. I think he only trained for about 6 months, and as long as I remember from the programme, he got rejected from the professional membership body the first time round. Hope he wins and never fights again with anyone better.

Funny enough, I do! I never use it, but somehow I feel that I need it to watch old family and work VHS vids, which I never watch.

What I meant was that I'd record it on Sky in the way you do it with the Sky remote control. Tape, record- similar sorta things.

Yeah, but surely Freddy can't be that desperate. He does a lot of round-the-table TV shows, modelling for supermarket etc. He must have earned oaky-ish dosh with his cricket. Why does he need to be knocked about for money ?? That's just greedy and insane!

Money makes the world go round.

I'm no fighter but I wouldn't hesitate to get in the ring with any boxer if the money was right, take a good one on the jaw, drop like a sack of cack, and trouser the cash

Yeah, but perhaps he hasn't yet fought anyone in a professional match, and that's why he is unbeaten. I hope so, anyway. If not, I am even more scared for Flinty now.

Ah. Thanks, Urban.

I think 10pm news should be ready with the result, or may be the 10.30pm one.

.... in a 2 fight professional career

I was going to subscribe to watch it, but there is a £10 registration fee and a minimum 3 month contract at £10 per month. Decided against it!
