Comments Thread For: Eimantas Stanionis Calls For Unification Fights With Fellow Champions

Barrios vs Stanionis would have happened months ago. Nodoby knows why PBC has no plan of making this fight. Looks like Stanionis is looking elsewhere.

Probably Bankrupt Company

Well perhaps you have a point. However, it still doesn’t make much sense for his team to sign with Matchroom.

If it would have been Hell for him to unify the welterweight titles with the PBC. Then what advantages does he has of unifying them now?

Since none of the major American promoters like to do business with Eddie Hearn; Especially Al Haymon.

At least they got to negotiating with Norman - I doubt that would have even happened with PBC. I don't think Hearn is good at carefully building fighters, it's not his thing. He's all about "if you're good enough you'll win and make good money doing it" - so if Ennis is prepared to step up Hearn can get him on a Turki card - but I think Bozy Ennis is the careful matchmaker and all about the legacy at the end of the career - so that's why they seem infatuated with unification at 147 before they move up. Just my take. But I can see how that can be spun to Ennis is a duck.

Jim Watt would be turning over in his grave if he saw the state of UK boxing now. You guys are sadly reduced to Fury running out of drug money or AJ feeling froggy once more. Boxing in general is sad, but what's more sad is how you lads in the UK clap like trained seals for any carnival show offered up by Fast Eddie or Frank. Have a little more self-respect, it is that asking too much?

Hanging your hat on Eubank Jr. Conor The Drug Cheat is about as pathetic as can be. It really is.

I doubt it. UK boxing is perfectly healthy and has been doing fine since a handful of fighters dropped out of the Kinahan sponsored phase which really is old old news now. We have Dubious, Wardley, Itauma etc etc at heavy which realistically aside from Usyk the Uk have dominated for a while now. Benn and Eubank will make tonnes of money domestically and that has the attention of the uk public due to the rivalry of their fathers.

We don’t clap like trained seals. We fill stadiums and roar. What we don’t have respect for are racist bigots who resort to insults when their tiny brains can’t drum up anything more coherent.

You guys are funny you think bootsy wants to fight stannois? No chance. He going for barrios but Eddie running interference for benn. Trying to set up a “huge” unification of bootsy vs benn the lamest WW title fight of all time

Sad but true

Nobody is spinning anything. Bootsy literally said after his last fight in the ring he was too big for 147 and he wants bigger names and we’ll get better performances. Then he was offered EXACTLY what he asked for and he turned it down. That’s ducking. There’s no spin to it. Calling a spade a spade isnt a “spin”

You drunks are soccer fans, not boxing fans. We don't support frauds here in America like you wee lads do. Fast Eddie can sell you a bottle of petrified dog s**t and you boys would buy it.

UK boxing is dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. To say it's not is the clinical definition of insanity. Who do you guys have besides Nick Ball? Tell me. Usyk is the daddy of all your heavyweights, and wait until Bakole or Zhang get their hands on The Big Doobie.

Nothing racist about what I said. You drunks simply love grasping at straws when you get owned.
