[Horse]

What happened to Kevin Mitchell vs Ricky Burns?

Mitchell hasn't defended his title since he won it over 18 months ago. Do no other British fighters in the division want to fight for the British championship?

What is going on?

[leforge]

I thought that was happening! Mitchell should be stripped Burns v someone else for the title!

[Horse]

Ricky Burns vs Nicky Cook makes sense to me.

The board are being completely pathetic on this issue. They are disgracing themselves in my opinion.

[leforge]

Cook v Burns would be a good one!

[Coco]

The BBBoC are ensuring standard are kep up for the Commonwealth!!!!
King is a soft touch for McCallister and looking at Kotey record, most of his wins have come agaist debutants, the rest having under 3 fights!

[dondada]

Cook v Burns would be a good one!

A text tells me Mitchell v Burns is happening but I haven't looked into it...

Is Cleverly ever going to fight in Wales again

[alexpaterson]

Is Cleverly ever going to fight in Wales again

Once you get out you want to stay out

Once you get out you want to stay out

Ulikely, FW hasn't got enough Welsh fighters to fill an undercard, Macca is likely to retire and then there is only his nephew left, who isn't championship material and was only taken on to stick two fingers up at rhe Calzaghe's

"Build it and they will come"

Does he really need Welsh boxers on the undercard though

If its a decent enough show he'll get the numbers IMO

I'm not saying he'll fill somewhere like the CIA, but there are plenty of smaller halls (around 1000/1500 capacity) around South Wales he could use.

[leforge]

Cleverly should be fighting in Wales, perhaps early in 2009 for EBU belt!

He better get a move on

[leforge]

I notice Hearn won the rrights for the EBU heavyweight title with Snowski I wonder if they will be shown in UK!

[stujones]

Great to see Snowsoski getting the chance, cannot help thinking why Rogan didn't though.

[leforge]

I think Snowsoski will win as well!

[Horse]

Great to see Snowsoski getting the chance, cannot help thinking why Rogan didn't though.

Because he lost to Sexton.

[stujones]

No I meant before when he fought Skelton. Sosnowski got it cause he beat Williams... Rogan wasn't allowed to fight (in a voluntary) even though he beat Harrison (who had beaten Williams).

[Horse]

Oh, right. What was the reason for Rogan not being able to challenge for the title against Skelton?

As for Sosnowski, I think his draw with Pianeta helped to get him this shot, as well as his win over Williams.

Wasn't in the EBU top 15 at the time.

[Horse]

Wasn't in the EBU top 15 at the time.

Why do they bother ranking up to 20 fighters in their rankings, if up to 5 of them are not eligible to fight for the title?

[brian13]

There is some amount of injured fighters on the list.
