Re: Craig Watson vs Lee Purdy April 16th
Who else could Watson fight? Vassell fighting on 26th March. Jennings is injured. He just fought O'Donnell. Hatton has just fought. Brook wont be allowed to fight on that bill.southpaw7 wrote:think the watson fight is a bit of a miss match he doesnt even have a top ten ranking im surrprised sky and the BBBC have alowed this one to go ahead!well i for one will be holding back my money till there is some more compeditive fights added to the card :(

would have thoght mcintyre who beat haughen for celtic title would have been best option and is a former british title holder who has beat the likes of anderson and docherty and pushed thompson all the way in a great fight last year! or lynes who just got a good victory over pryce

U talk poo. No way Macklin would fight Murray. Not when hes fighting for a 'world title' in the near future..... Too high risk for too little reward.ryan917 wrote:Wanna bet?Ben Carey wrote:Martin Murray is not fighting Macklin.
Re: Craig Watson vs Lee Purdy April 16th
I Agree, Theres an interview on youtube with murray from yesterday (type in Martin murray on john anderson) its posted by boxing ireland dotcom, saying he got the phone call friday to fight macklin he was up for it, but then recieved a call few days later saying macklin had choose to fight gevor instead, feel sorry for murray he needs a big fight soon as hard to get as motivated for these opponents weve never seen before or are not well known,gmanji wrote:U talk poo.

Well there was talk of it but I hear that Murrays team turned it down even though Murray wanted it.gmanji wrote:U talk poo. No way Macklin would fight Murray.

There are two video interviews on our YouTube channel that we put up yesterday and both fighters talk about each other.
