The fight I'd most like to see at 175 right now

[Pastrano]

Is Cleverly vs Sillakh. Both are young, very promising and talented and are exciting fighters. I think Sillakh would win. The kid looks very very promising so far. Cleverly has a slight height advantage, but Sillakh punches harder.

Sillakh seems to have some problems making the weight tho, in his last fight he was 179 and his opponent 173.

way too early dude

you gotta think like somebody who makes money off of these guys
(which is the only reason they are out there. i hope you understand that)


both guys have huge potential to be stars
why would you ruin that at this stage?


it costs money to build fighters to paydays that will make the time and money worthwhile

at that point in their careers many fighters aren't actually making any money for their promotors. it takes a large initial investment with a return that may be years down the line (or never come) to build a fighter into a star.
why would you cash out an investment at that stage?


why not wait for a few years for the same fight if it's going to make you ten, 20, perhaps even 100 times the money (an ESPN main event pays 10 grand.... a superfight between the two could be as big as a ricky hatton fight if they let it build and they could easily both make millions if they let this build)



ohh pastrami
thinking.... well sort of.... not hard enough.

Sillakh would walk over Cleverly

Come on, its WBO. These guys tend to give title shots to boxers who are not yet "built up" and Sillakh already beat the highly touted Despaigne and knocked out the once-rated Daniel Judah in 2 rounds. I say that makes him qualified as a challenger to Cleverly. Cleverly ain't USA-based anyway...thank goodness.

Sillakh would eat Cleverly for breakfast..
