IBF title shot for one of our lads.

[mickey1975]

GOmez will be right on this one.

[Final round]

GOmez will be right on this one.

I hope he is

[stujones]

Yeah, I would imagine Gomez has nailed this one. The alternative I thought of was maybe a very surprise shot for Liam Smith. IBF title situation at Light Middle is a bit of a mess, Smith has a decent ranking and a nice carrot to maybe get the four brothers aligned to one promoter. I know Liam signed a contract, but are contracts worth the pen they are written on these days.

Eddie said it was not Kell Brook and it would be in the UK ??

What about Smith v Abaraham on the next Liverpool show with David Price coming over aswell ?

I'd be suprised at Abarahm travelling but without it being Kell Brook I can't see who else it is.

[jackukmma]

It's not the IBF title and it's in the uk. That rules out Brook and Paul Smith and Quigg v LSC.mI think it could be Crolla v Abril in Manchester

[jameswilson]

Yeah my money is on one of our lightweights vs either Vasquez or Abril.

[DMA1987]

How about Quigg v Santa Cruz then, now we know its not for the IBF?

Edit. Forget it, doesn't sound like its the case.

Yeah that won't happen in the UK.

Can we not all just have a whip round so Selby gets a shot at the WBC at home, please?

I really want to see Jhonny Gonzalez knock someone's head clean off live & cannot afford to go to Mexico again.

Ta.

I was hoping for that one aswell.

Quigg vs Rigondeaux for the WBA belt

Quigg vs Rigondeaux for the WBA belt

Not in a million years. Hearn and co wouldnt have the balls to make that fight. They know Rigondeaux is the don in the division.

Too right, it was a joke!
Well the real joke is no one at 122 wanting to face the best.

I know Hasegawa DID say he was willing to fight Rigondeaux though I assume the Martinez fight was easier to make from his side. Rigondeaux Vs Hasegawa would have been pretty decent.

[handsofstone]

Any word on Brian Rose's shot at Demetrius Andrade for the WBO?

I enjoyed watching Hasegawa against Martinez. It was my first real time watching him. I know you said he's kind of shot now but I think he still looked pretty good at times in that fight. He still looked fast to me. It was only really when he got involved in exchanges, particularily on the ropes that he ended up a cropper.

He had a lovely style did Hasegawa but he gets in with real punchers & then ships the big one. Never quite defensively adroit enough to get away with doing his thing versus a prime power-puncher, I think, though if you couldn't bang he'd carve you up. Although he beat him twice I always thought a younger, less battle-worn Veeraphol Whateverhissurnamewasthatweek would've done him.

Fernando Montiel broke his jaw & nearly decapitated him & heeeeere's Jhonny:

It makes me laugh. Hearn always says these are boxers that will fight anyone they don't think about avoiding someone... Then constantly ignores Rigondeux questions

[DMA1987]

He doesn't ignore the questions, he said Rigo would beat Quigg. He is pretty open about Rigondeaux, or more the reasons why he won't go near him.

He also says he will be willing to face him if Quigg unifies. To my mind that's fair enough. Ironically I don't see too many people slating Leo Santa Cruz for not mentioning Rigo even tho they rate LSC above Quigg.
