How can Peter Oboh still get overlooked.

Post by tonyevs »

Whats the story with Peter Oboh, I mean I`d rate him number 1 in Britain yet isn`t really heading anywhere.
Clinton Woods gets a fourth chance and I honestly couldn`t see Woods seeing the 12rnds out against Oboh.
Maloney manages him and has got Sports Network behind him so whats the problem putting him in for a unification.

I suppose shots for both the WBU/WBO are tied up so he will go knowhere until they become available.

They do seem to be SN favourites, but with Tarver and Johnson giving their titles back and Clinton getting yet another shot it can’t be that hard to qualify.

Maloney said a while ago he hasn’t got long left in the game and Warren said the same in BN recently, this could highlight why.
SN I thought were the biggest players in the game in the UK yet they can’t even get Oboh a shot yet Woods backers do it repeatedly.
Maloney was only ever Lennox’s dancing monkey, now Warren has employed him to do the same job so if Maloney was by his himself I`d understand but Warren I thought could have delivered.

I really like oboh and would love him to get a shot hes getting old so something needs to happen early in 05 and i really hope it does as feel he could win a title, and it be a shame to end a career without getting the chance
