HW Chris Burton comeback at cruiser

[funso banjo baby]

Hightower seemed to lose interest after his impressive run in the second HW Prizefighter (losing out to Sam Sexton).

Can he do anything at cruiser? Theres certainly some good fights at this weight.....Askin, Dawson, Turba, Dickinson, Dolan, Ibbotson.....

So he is coming back as a cruiserweight?

[TheCobra]

He's gona have to shed some weight bloody hell, 6'5" and was fighting at around 230 pounds when a HW.

[R7TKO]

Heard he's fighting 1st boutback at 14st 10lb few wins & a crack at Dickinson for the Northern area title would be a exciting match up.

[dondada]

Aye, saw Chris about six weeks ago and he told me this.

I was going to do a bit on it then but he said, "Nah, wait until September. People will just think I'm talking sh1t."

Blimey, if he could get down to cruiser safely, he'd definitely be a force domestically, in what is not a very strong division anyway. Big lad though.

[Final round]

I thought he'd dropped out after the prizefighter loss which was a shame because he looked a good aggresive hw.
Sexton boxed very well in that Prize Fighter and looked in better shape than he did for the Chisora fight if my memory serves me right.

Dropping down could bring him some success domestically. He is a big strong lad that can punch, so could end up an interesting division for the brits following a poor time.

havin been watchin my old gym mate train he in awesome shape mind he weighted 15 stone soaken in swet on tuesday wen i was there so 14 4 doesn t seem to far away he fightin on the martin ward bill 6 weeks time then onto more meanin fight heeeeeeeeeeeeee s back alright

[clintonmcphilbin]

I think the division is better that what people give it credit for. The problem is the British and English title are not being fought for on a regular basis if u look at the top 20 there is some feel talent. Also stop feeding cruisers as bait to the heavyweights .

[warmachine]

I am surprised at this cause he is a big lad

[Bob Wright]

Do you fancy a drop to Cruiser as well Larry??

[the truth]

He would be dangerous if he made the weight but I think he'll feel weak at 14.4

[Bob Wright]

Was only joking, he'd have to lose a limb to make 14st 4lbs!!!

[warmachine]

don't think I could make cruiser if I had my leg cut off,lol

I think the cruiserweight division can have quite a few decents match ups in the next 12-18months at British level...
