Warren won purse bids.
looks like Vanzie really needs a knock out to draw this time!!
Vanzie v Earl 2 in March
The best fight will be the exchanges between Vanzie and Warren beforehand. I felt Sports Network were out of order in ridiculing Vanzie after he lost the first fight in Dagenham, claiming he hadn't sold one ticket for the show, then dropping him.
Okay, Bobby turned up late and forced the Barnes-Vincent fight on first, but entertainment-wise, that actually made the show. Let's face it, Earl-Vanzie was a bit dull.

Does Earl train with Lear?
I reckon they could even be the same guy - non-descript, dullish, steady and workmanlike - the antithesis of my kind of fighter.
Vanzie on the other hand - exciting, fast (annoying at times) - whether he wins or loses this - he'll go down as wasted talent IMO.
He wasted alot of time with that Jock promoting him (Gilmour?) IMO - talked alot but never actually produced anything passed Euro stuff.

Stuff Vanzie, never cared for him since he cheated his way to 'victory' over Stephen Smith.lightsoot wrote::) Fantastic news! Bobby Vanzie is a top bloke. He beat Earl last time for my money (by 2 points). Earl's not improved. Bobby beats him again, this time decisively.
Poor mans Naseem Hamed, I hope Earl finishes him off for good.
Yes, Earl and Lear are both trained by Johnny Eames.Lugh wrote:Does Earl train with Lear?

Whoa Gosnold that's harsh. Smith did get the rough end of the stick but your anger should be directed at the ref as well. Bobby's honest about his abilities, not every switch hitter should be labelled a poor man's Hamed.Goz wrote:Stuff Vanzie, never cared for him since he cheated his way to 'victory' over Stephen Smith.lightsoot wrote::) Fantastic news!

I hope super Bob tanks Earl in the rematch after getting jobbed the first time. Bobby's just a normal family man, it was his 30th birthday on Sunday. I always think SKY go out of their way to stain his character and are guilty of portraying him as a lippy Yorkshire Naz clone when he's a good guy.
He doesn't do himself too many favours when he opens his mouth!lightsoot wrote:Whoa Gosnold that's harsh.

I think the reason he's portrayed as lippy is because he is lippy!!!!!
I've never labelled any fighter other than Vanzie as a poor mans Hamed. Which he is. Just never liked him since then.....lightsoot wrote:Whoa Gosnold that's harsh.

More show than substance.
