Anthony Small?

Rocky Balboa · Post by **Rocky Balboa** » 18 Sep 2009, 10:50

Haven't heard much in respect of who he's next fighting & when he's next out?

He needs to keepp the momentum going. I know its unlikely, but I'd like to see in with the winner of Rhodes-Moore!

Ranked #5 with the WBO - I would try and entice Konecny over.

It might sound unambitious but, I would like to see him attempt to avenge his loss to Bradley Pryce.

After Pryce's last fight, I would love to see this. Pryce looked back to his best and I think Small has improved since his loss, so would be a good fight.

Pryce only fought a journeyman....

He needs to find himself a Promotor first.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 18 Sep 2009, 13:22

Small???, 26? Has he left his previous employers?

Small vs Pryce wouldn't do his WBO ranking any harm - Pryce is still ranked in the top 15 there. Although, I think with Pryce at Calzaghe promotions - there is a snow ball's chance of the fight happening. Unless, Small has left his most recent promoter.

I'm suprised that he hasn't got a romotor sorted since his fight with Hall. He seems to have almost everything a promotor could possibly want out of a fighter, he's entertaining, a bit of a showman, he's got knock out power and he's slightly fragile to losing. Should be quite easy to market.

I think a rematch with Pryce would be a step back in the wrong direction, maybe a fight against the winner of Moore v Rhodes would be good or old man Verno Phillips to raise his profile a bit

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 18 Sep 2009, 14:29

Does he sell tickets, lets not forget for the most part his fight with Hall was a stinker.

The winner of Moore vs Rhodes is the WBC mandatory challenger, so the winner is not going to fight Small.

Small is the British and Commonwealth champion, making a defence against the only fighter to have beaten him is not really a backwards step.

I enjoyed it.

Compared to most Hall fights, it was dull. It was hyped (not just be Small) to be a fight of the year contender... never fulfilled that.

That was Hall's fault. Small beat him with ease and blasted him out.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 18 Sep 2009, 14:45

Small did beat him with ease, but did alot of holding early on. Hall took the fight to Small. He hardly "blasted" him out - it went 8 rounds. Small had the power to take him out earlier.

When Small felt Hall had weakened sufficiently he finished him in style. In my opinion Small had Hall under control from the start and although Hall took the fight to Small, he did it inefficiently.

i agree

Small is without a Promotor that's for certain.
Agreed with your comments ourkid - so work it out for yourself why they ain't flooding to sign him.
As for a rematch with Pryce simply can't see it.
I don't think Pryce with fight at LM again.

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 19 Sep 2009, 12:07

I would also like to see him fight Pryce again I like boxers who avenge their defeats but if he doesnt fight Pryce I would like to see him fight the loser of Rhodes vs Moore

Coco · Post by **Coco** » 19 Sep 2009, 12:17

I didn't know Small is without a promoter? I presume his contract with FW has expired and they can't agree on new terms?

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 20 Sep 2009, 16:13

You can't agree terms if there's no offer, Coco.
He's doing the rounds to secure a deal.
However he does have a stumbling block - Wazza is still his Manager !!!

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 20 Sep 2009, 17:05

Can't he sack his smug manager?

forcefraser · Post by **forcefraser** » 21 Sep 2009, 04:53

Ryan Rhodes or Jamie Moore should be his next big fight, after a tune up.

I really rate Small, he has a bit of class about his boxing, decent power, chin and speed. I would take him over rhodes, but Moore would prove a tougher fight.

Small is the type of boxer that could do a Honeygan if given the chance. I could see him pulling off a major upset if he gets the chance against a big name stateside.

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 21 Sep 2009, 12:52

Leforge,
Have you ever heard the word Contract ?
No he can't sack him.
On what basis anyway ?

So Small is in a really bad situation then?
