Love the man, but I really can't see this happening.

[purpleronnie]

Well he's got a tv show from it, they'll line him up with a bunch of nobody's and it'll probably draw a huge crowd...all money in his coffers.

They will struggle to match him up against anyone he can beat if he hasnt had a single piece of amatuer experience in his life and he's coming in off 6 months training.

They won't. They will find a few organ donors and pay them handsomely to make Freddie look the business. He'll then "retire" after 3 or 4 fights which will allow everyone to count their cash. Everyones a winner.

It's an odd one, I totally agree and can't see him even beating a low ranked opponent at that weight. If I was a low ranked fighter I would love to fight Freddy for a nice payday and a comfortable night, so he will not have trouble getting a fight.

Freddie Flintoff a boxer . . . . . . . . . what next David Beckham a popstar?

[Corky]

what next David Beckham a popstar?

Would no doubt be an improvment on his wife.

[DJMadness29]

Anyone been watching the documentary on him, From Lords to the ring??

His first professional fight is tonight at the Manchester arena. Hoping to find a box nation feed to watch it meself.

[I am Rod Hull]

I`v had £10 on Flintoff, I think its rigged

Is it over 4 rounds?

[ToeKneeHandCock]

Not seen the documentary but I will watch tonight.

There's a link to Price v Skelton fight on Wiziwig, think he's on after.

[DJMadness29]

The doc had before and after photos from his training and he's lost a load of weight.

From my very little knowledge of boxing he seemed alright whilst he was sparing.

What's the problem? Someone wants to have a crack at something that they may well have a talent for and you want to knock them for it?

[AKCJ]

I saw the second part of the three part series and I though he looked in good nick.

[Guest MattP]

Here's my write up if anyone wants a read.

Had a bet on Freddie at 11/8, if he stands up and makes it close the judges should give him it.

[notnow john]

Hope he doesn't get knocked senseless, wouldn't like to see him like that again!

[purpleronnie]

Wouldn't bet on it TBH, I have no idea how good or bad his opponent is, but (if pushed) I would bet on dawson....hopefully freddy will win though.

[Webbo]

Surely Flintoff's opponent has been chosen because he's beatable?

[AKCJ]

Freddie's opponent has won two out out of two but against shocking opposition.

One had lost all 5 of his fights and yet only lost by something like one point.

[FoxLAD]

i seen on sky sports that freddies opposition is 2 stones heavier!

[Voll Blau]

What time's his fight on?

[Tom17LCFC]

What time's his fight on?

I'd guess not long after 10, after the Price fight.

Can anybody rustle up a livestream?
