Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
That's naw good. Was looking forward to it and thought it was a 50/50 fight! Who's going to replace Rees? Arthur maybe? Mitchell?

Mcalister, Limond. Matthews turned it down. I don't see Mitchell fighting on this.DougieC30 wrote:That's naw good. Was looking forward to it and thought it was a 50/50 fight! Who's going to replace Rees? Arthur maybe? Mitchell?
Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
Whoever Crolla meets it isnt going to be as mouth watering as him vs Rees.
Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
McAllister boxed at Lightwelter a few weeks back for some intercontinental belt so don't think he's on the weight. Limmond is on a show in Ireland soon, I think. Dunno who it will be. Al stick with origanal prediction and say Athur.leforge wrote:Mcalister, Limond. Matthews turned it down. I don't see Mitchell fighting on this.DougieC30 wrote:That's naw good.

Based on the spar Derry gave burns weeks ago hed have a excellent chance against corolla or any domestic lightweight imoboxingfarmer30 wrote:Mathews never his team did,we don,t need this bout yet.leforge wrote:Mcalister, Limond.

Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
He would be a tough nights work for anyone. Would be a good scrap with Derry and Corolla. Am sticking by my first prediction and saying Arthur or Mitchell.billy nelson wrote:Based on the spar Derry gave burns weeks ago hed have a excellent chance against corolla or any domestic lightweight imoboxingfarmer30 wrote:Mathews never his team did,we don,t need this bout yet.leforge wrote: Mcalister, Limond.

Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
Yeah, me too. Crolla's last display was flawless and Mitchell has been so inactive since his defeat to Katsidis that Crolla would have a very good chance at beating him. An even fight imo.Horse wrote:I think Crolla would have a good chance against Mitchell.leforge wrote:No way crolla does Mitchell!
Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
yer mate still fighting for the english , of course i would jump at the chance to box for the british title , i respect anthony crolla hes a top lad and a great champion but like any fighter i beleive he is beatable and give me 6 weeks to prepare for him and id say id come out championShadrachSimmo wrote:There's alot of good names to throw in the hat.

McAlister got cut badly in his last fight but I think Crolla would be a bit too much for him anyway....DougieC30 wrote:McAllister boxed at Lightwelter a few weeks back for some intercontinental belt so don't think he's on the weight.

Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
Why not phone up and offer Limond for the fight. He has the ability and experience and its a fight am sure he could get up for. It could also be the last chance he gets of fighting for the British as he is in his early 30's now.billy nelson wrote:limond hasnt turned it down mate not trueleforge wrote:Mcalister, Limond.

Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
Think he weighed around 63/64kg in his last fight. Think the Lightweight limit is just over 61kg. Can he make the weight? Am sure if he was given notice he would push himself to make the weight. Add the British Title to the mix and considering where he is in his career he would do his very best to make it. I am only saying AA because that's who I want to see box for it. Who else has been linked with the fight?

would like to see nigel wright v crolla

Re: Gavin Rees withdraws from Crolla defence
I can't believe no one has mentioned Gary Buckland
I know he's moved to super feather but has fought big fights at lightweight
I'm sure he'd be interested
