It's a shame because it would have been a fight that would tell us a lot. I obviously haven't seen the Borg fight but if indeed he did get screwed by the scoring then it's a shame that it has probably robbed us of a decent fight.

Saw the fight; he definitely got screwed by the scoring. It was competitive but he was a clear winner.

X2.

Shame this July fight isn't going to happen, it would have happened in March had the Borg result been a fair one

Hope's leaving the UK in late September, he's packing early if he doesn't fancy a fight in July

I wouldn't give Hope much chance of beating Blackwell,I'd maybe edge Eubank to beat him but he'll need the performance of his life

I think there is probably some truth in this & Hope is holding out for more money.
Lets face it Kerry is the perfect opponent for any prospect, non puncher with a decent engine.
