Here are the WBO Asia Pacific rankings, they didn't have anything about the WBO Oriental super middleweight title on their website. Could be interesting if it is someone from these rankings...

Pawsey fought at Star City last year...

[iceman]

i dont think pawsey would fight pittman, most people avoid southpaws specialy a tall one , was thinking sherrington rematch but he is already booked in ...

The Kariuki Pittman fight is still on the Boxrec schedule. Could Kariz have changed his mind?

[Hounddawg]

Thats farked, Pittman either needs to up his level in challenges instead of going for c level, issue a challenge to B or B+ level fighter that won't pull out of the fight.

There's plenty of names for him in the supermiddle division....oganov,Bika,Sherington,Woods,Bolling,Hamden,Taliepai...the list just keeps going.

well pittman knocked sherrington out , woods is not b class ogonov lost 2 talipou and woods and nader lost 2 kariuki , so it leaves bika , talipou and bolling and i agree on them 3...

[Hounddawg]

Agree, but the statement about B and B+ fighters that i was referring to was his level of opponents are quite ordinary, the list i gave didn't mean i thought they were at that level, just that any of those fighters would be suitable opponents.

I think he would of shut out Kariuki easily, good come back fight, but not the fight i was hanging out for.

Hamden still makes your record look prettier, which Pittman needs, although he lost to Kariuki it was only over 5 rounds...still a win though.
