Woods v Hoye June 17th - another "proper" fight

Post by Kilburn »

June really is looking great. Calzaghe, Froch, Magee, Harrison and now Woods all in genuine tough matches.

Is Vanzie v Murray II happening on the Skelton undercard or was that just a dodgy rumour?

Ever since Calzaghe & Hatton were announced as sharing a double bill I haven't given a shit about who Hatton fights on June 12th.

That night is all about Calzaghe v Johnson.

Yes, and rightly so. Joe has detractors, but he is far more of a proven fighter than Hatton is. At the moment, despite creditable victories over Phillips and Tackie, there's still more questions than answers with regard to Hatton's ability to fight at world class level.

Calzaghe on the other hand has won convincingly against Brewer, Mitchell and even his win over a faded Eubank is impressive, considering how green Calzaghe was at the time.

If Calzaghe play's his card right this year he could be up there with the best, so will proberbly be a cock up then :wink: , Will Tarver travel over here or will Calzaghe conquer his fear of flying and go to the usa, they could stage the fight on the Hatton vs Spadafora bill :P :P

I never really understood how Joe could be scared of flying yet still (i) always manage to go on holiday after each fight and (ii) fight in Denmark.

Yes, Calzaghe-Johnson is a good fight, the first genuine title fight Frankie's staged since Ingle-Botile I think. But it can't hide the fact that Hatton-Vilches on the same bill is another gimmee for The Hit Man (Vilches has been stopped in all four of his losses) and that Sports Network's recent matchmaking has been substandard in general. Arthur-Kizza, Mitchell-Virdee, Gomez-Juuko and Hatton-Pedersen were shocking.

think Witter vs Judah was the last match he had a IBF belt at stake.

Four years ago (June 2000). Makes you wonder what kind of shit we've been served up in the meantime.
