[boxerbob]

if fosters camp really feel that the "virus" cost him the fight should they then ask for a rematch as fegatilli in his interview said he was more than willing to travel back to the uk

fegatelli said that we have atleast 10 top fighters he cAN return to the shores for. so with jnr's illness which was evident to people who have seen him before. i cant see any reason not to have a return as belgium boxing is small & he'll earn better here.

Sykes v Johansson winner could fight Fegatelli. Or Buckland fight him.

He boxed well enough be some good fights with UK boxers.

The Belgian is very beatable, and people will be queuing up to take his title, at least he will get a good payday out of it. Foster would win clearly if he was right

[Finn]

In Fosters defense he seemed to be out of gas after 5 rounds for no real reason, and the commentators said he looked dredful at the weigh in and severely weight drained before he even entered the ring.

I would be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

i agree...i put in my blog that i think the virus might had something to do with foster losing the fight...his best round was the 5th but from then on he just couldnt sustain an attack.

reminded me of the holyfield vs bowe 3 fight where holyfield could only fight in very small bursts and after teh fight said he had hepatitus

Sh!t happens to boxers, always has.

Can't say I like it when fighters come out and say stuff like this. Just accept you lost, virus or no virus and get on with your career.

Rarely do any boxers, infact any athlete, enter the ring 100% fit. If you aint fit or what not, dont fight, simple as. If you go ahead with it (and got paid, which it is the bottom line), then accept it in good grace.

The Belgian won and won handily after being given little chance. Fair play to him. Foster's 'excuse', even if it's true, is just bad sportsmanship, kind of saying,'I lost but I wasnt well and if I was 100%, I would have beat this guy'.

Maybe he is not as good as he and his team believe, or, the Belgian is a damn sight better than anyone ever thought, Probably somewhere in the middle on this last point, imo.

He beats Foster again, to be truthful.
