Am I the only one that lets out a sigh of relief when fighters make weight in a fight I'm looking forward to? :boxing:
Not alone. It always show's a lack of respect and professionalism for the sport. It's a shame, coming in over is becoming a regular and unpopular trend!
Inoue vs. Gonzalez would be awesome, cannot wait for that to come to fruition! Gonzalez has tested the water at Super Fly, against Valentin Leon in his hometown earlier this year?
Enjoyed the read this morning Cliff! Great analysis and research on Finito, loved the comparable stats to Chocolatito! Looking forward to seeing Gonzalez this weekend and hoping for the Estrada rematch later this year :)
"Vie for the right to tackle Guillermo Rigondeaux"? At least you recognised he is the division's number one fighter. Quigg moves up to 126lbs regardless by fall of 2015. Frampton's team steer him away from Rigondeaux.
Great article Cliff Rold.
Roman seems to be getting more recognition this year, glad for him, really hope we do see him on bigger networks in 2015. Relishing if/when Gonzalez-Estrada comes to fruition, would consider flying across the pond for that!
As for Floyd & Manny name dropping; i've come to ignore pub banter with locals when they get giddy and blind with excitement that this 'is going to actually happen this time'. Unfortunately, not everyone gets this!
Brits does degale have a big following? Who's more liked him or groves? DeGale has become of a liked individual; this was more so to do with Groves i would say personally, he didn't represent himself too well with his fights against Froch.
Seeing as the WBA strap isn't an 'official' world title (just 'regular'), the WBO will not allow for there belt to be part of a 'unification'. That aside, there are also promotional differences. Is a shame.
A non title fight? It's been a while since anyone has seen that belt in public. Im starting to think that Ward lost it in a card game.
Haha; Too funny!!!! Not too impressed with this option. Great opportunity/experience for Smith i guess.
DeGale wins in a close fight in my opinion (i hope), which will hopefully set up a big domestic rematch with Groves in the latter part of 2015!
HBO needs to pick Gonzalez-Estrada up before Chocolatito decides to move up to 115lbs....though a potential bout with Inoue makes me giddy.
Damn all cause roman is pricing himself out wants like a mill FOH. Moving to hbo and fighting stumblebums Gonzalez wanted 1mil in total, to split 50/50 between him & Estrada, confirmed earlier this year on this site.
Great breakdown! Albeit not an all time great, hall of fame worthy is good enough and deserved without question. His time in the ring was throughly enjoyed and his back-to-back top level opposition cannot be matched to any other active SMW in the current division!
Yeah, although i'm not sure what's happening with Chisora at the moment as he seems to have parted ways with Frank Warren and on bad terms too.
Anyone know if he's signed with any other promoter?
Chisora has signed with Sauerland.
