    Cash just can’t seem to stay healthy man. It’s a shame because I think he can be a player at 160.
    He's definitely got the ability. I really liked the Madiev fight (wasn't he very highly ranked with a governing body?), this Alexander fight seemed like a step down. Wonder if Boxxer want him?

      I was really impressed with the way he dispatched of Bentley. I rate Bentley think he’s definitely a guy who can go beyond domestic level and Cash just destroyed him.

      I was thinking the same mate, he’s made a few comments about Hearn which makes me think he’s potentially going to Boxxer. The Eubank fight would be a big pull too.

        Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler is very close to being agreed. Essentially up to Team Inoue to make the fight happen.

          Have seen a little bit about Galahad-Hughes on Twitter. Any chance that'd be chief support to a Warrington-Wood card at Elland Road or something in November/December, if Wood can't get LSC (doesn't seem likely)?

          Benn-Eubank rumours back into overdrive again.

          Is there a deal in place for Buatsi to face Bivol, or is he going to have to look elsewhere?

            Bivol has a mando that got called. The Buatsi fight ain't happening now.

              Makes perfect sense, not sure they’ll be able to do Elland Road in the winter though. Galahad and Hughes have been in talks for a while, it’s a Yorkshire Derby so despite a potential styles clash, I think it’s the right fight to make.

              I don’t believe the Benn-Eubank rumours at all. Just don’t see how it’s possible. I also know Boxxer have reserved several rooms at the Hilton in Liverpool for September 2nd-3rd so they’re definitely planning a card for that date. I still think Smith-Eubank is next.

              As Mammoth said, I think the WBA mandatory situation has put a spanner in the works. I imagine Bivol-Zurdo will now be next. Unsure where that leaves Buatsi. I’d like to see the Callum Smith fight as you mentioned in another thread. Think their styles would really gel.

                Good point re: Elland Road. Didn’t think of that. Is Warrington-Wood really viable in the winter then? Galahad bypassing 130 completely then it seems.

                  I think they’d possibly do it in Manchester, that’s not too far from Leeds or Nottingham so it’s accessible for fans. Might be better to hang on until the Summer as it probably fills Elland Road.

                    The UK kinda sucks now. Too many promoters like in the states.

                      Is there a way of finding out the winning promoter & the value of the purse bid for each of the fights the BBBoC ordered - most of the purse bids are today at noon I believe - or do we just have to wait for that info to come out?
