Warren has been going on about Joe’s next fight taking place in July (when no big names are available). I’m assuming this is because they have a HBO slot or he’s already booked the Millenium Dome (02 venue).
If Joe could wait another couple of months both Taylor and Kessler would be available and we’d have a proper fight on our hands. But if Warren is already committed to a show at the 02 in July, can he pull it off without Joe? I think he can if he’s creative with his matchmaking and takes a few risks….
Maccarinelli Vs Bell – O’Neil Bell is ranked 12th by the WBO (a bit low but whatever) and would provide the first real test for Macca. I think Macca would get a lot of respect if he beat the iron-chinned Bell and I reckon he is very much capable of it. Macca is pretty good at battering shorter boxers and I don’t think a stoppage is unrealistic. Plus of course any fight O’Neil Bell is involved in is usually exciting to watch. Macca should bring a few thousand fans over from Wales
Nicky Cook Vs Luevano – Cook is the local lad who thoroughly deserves a shot at the title and Luevano is a good opponent. HBO were interested in showing this on the undercard of Cotto-Judah, and I believe this is still being negotiated, but if Warren wins the purse bid he could stage the fight in London where Cookie is bound to attract a big local crowd.
Alex Arthur Vs Gogaladze – If Guzman beats Katsidis to vacate his WBO superfeatherweight title, Warren is trying to put on Arthur – Gogaladze for the vacant title. I don’t know nothing about Gogaladze, and I’m sure Scots would want to see this fight in Scotland. But then again, Warren probably doesn’t give a **** about the scottish fans so could stage this fight in London to guarantee another 3000 or so seats sold to Arthur fans making their way south.
Kevin / Vinny Mitchell Vs Anyone – Local favourite bros, should sell a thousand or so tickets alone
Amir Khan Vs Anyone – The Khan fanclub will certainly turn up thousands strong
Could the above lineup sell out the 22000 capacity venue and get HBO coverage, or does Warren need Joe?
