Comments Thread For: Rocky Fielding: I'd Love An ECHO Arena Defense of WBA Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Well done, Rocky.

Always great when a good guy wins some kind of title, especially in a land where the local pugilistic mafia always finds a way to steal wins from the visitors.

Shouldnt be a problem. I can see that being Hearns focal point for Rocky whilst he has that belt.

Local support will always pack an arena for a world title held by on of their own on a matchroom card

It was a really impressive performance but I think it’s all amplified by seeing him getting mullered by Callum Smith.

I think he probably got offered the Zeuge fight because they thought he would get beat easily. Now he’ll be avoided! Turdo didn’t fancy it.

It’s still a bit of a paper belt while Groves is out there

The Super Middle division is stacked domestically, but it is a strange one overall at the moment.

-Who knows if the WBSS final will go ahead
-DeGale dropped the IBF
-Zurdo fighting bums
-Everyone afraid of Uzcategui & Benavidez

When was the last unification? DeGale v Jack?

A 'version' of the WBA title...��

I am pleased for Fielding, but in reality he is a C level guy on his very best day.

Far too many unfair comments here. The Guy's done well. however if he really wants a major showdown to cash in, then it has to be Zurdo or Ramirez in some kind of unification & quite likely not in the UK!

Really hope to see him rematch Ryder in his first defense
