    gets me a bit p*ssed off when Shumenov says it should be in Vegas out of fairness when we KNOW he lives there. Eejit.

        not THAT p*ssed off at it, just that it's a bit annoying for Shumenov to be a little blatant in playing the whole "capital of world boxing" schtick, it feels a bit petty to pull that AND not to mention that it's his hometown. I wouldn't mind one bit if the fight got made for Vegas, btw, just wouldn't mind Shumenov being a bit more up front about it. Would probably make more money in Vegas, too.

            Yes, Vegas would be "fair," like it was for Campillo when he beat the tar out of Shumenov and "lost" a decision

              Cleverly should definitely take the opportunity to fight Shemonov in Vegas. Headlining in Vegas at 24 years of age in a unification match up will be a some achievement.

              It'll raise his profile far more than a unification in Wales, it's a more than winnable fight for him and he can then have his homecoming in Wales with his profile both sides of the pond far bigger.

              With far greater coverage for his homecoming with American audience and TV as well as far more bums on seats in Wales.
