[Barry Halls]

Did Banks-Mitchell get cancelled? I thought it was just postponed.

Did Banks-Mitchell get cancelled? I thought it was just postponed.

No, it's on for May or June.

A date will soon be approved by HBO.

Banks wants to avenge his loss to Adamek, so if he beats Mitchell again, Loffler will try to make Banks-Adamek II.

[Weltschmerz]

Banks-Adamek II would be real cool.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman says they will probably make Krzysztof Wlodarczyk the WBC manadatory at heavyweight if he decides to move up. The WBC has a policy that permits any world titleholder to become the mandatory challenger at the next highest weight division if he moves up.

I wonder why the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Francesco Pianeta fight has been removed from the BoxRec schedule?

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...7035&cat=boxer

I realize BoxRec isn't always correct, but it would be unusual for them to remove it unless they were told it's not happening.
