Lucas Browne Next Fight

[bennyaha1]

Even though Lucas Browne was named Mandatory Contender for the WBA Regular World Heavyweight Title he might have to wait a little bit longer for his title shot
Ruslan Chagaev team has run into a little trouble due to contract obligations to Fres Oquendo
It seems that during the negotiations for that fight they had a Rematch Clause
Fres Oquendo Team is taking Ruslan Chagaev and the WBA to court
So in the mean time Lucas Browne needs a fight to keep himself busy
I personally think he should fight for the Interim Title and fight whoever wins the rematch
but thats my opinion
Who should fight Lucas Browne Next?

Lucas Browne,s fb said hes training hard for his upcoming World title fight. l cant see that not happening.

[bennyaha1]

Lucas Brown Been training hard since they made the announcement that hes the challenger in early March while Negotiations are happening between his team and the other team
But since this rematch has come up Lucas said hes not entirely happy with it but if he has to then hes willing to have a fight or two in the mean time while he waits

Sounds like Oquendo has been successful in his court bid and they have ruled Chagaev must face Oquendo again prior to fighting Browne. If that is the case Browne will have to look for another opponent.

He should fight de Mori. Won't happen though.

Thats what i said to him he said it wouldnt be worth it but even if he wanted to he doesnt make the decisions

[bennyaha1]

I had this Idea
WBA Ranked 4 who is Mandatory Challenger Lucas Browne vs WBA Ranked 6 Shannon Briggs for the Interim WBA World Heavyweight Title
Have this happen while Ruslan Chagaev vs Fres Oquendo Rematch is happening

Browne is rattling Wilder's cage at the moment.

Would be surprised if Glazkov gives up his IBF mandatory, unless he thinks he can get more money out of fighting Wilder than Klitschko, but that fight would be huge in the Ukraine....

That makes it look like Browne will get his shot.
As i've said previously, I don't think the fighters get a say, and Haymon will pick one of his own fighters - likely Arreola

[chinarich]

Arreola has fought one eight rounder since losing to Stiverne, not sure how he would get the shot, but I guess that's boxing...

If Browne needs a holding fight put him in with someone like Tony Thompson, I can see the big man pounding out a decision it would be a decent test and raise his stock somewhat. There's no way King would feed de Mori to Lucas, inevitable defeat that way lies...

Tony Thompson would be a bad choice as a 'holding' pattern fight. Just ask David Price about the merits of fighting Thompson.

de Mori would be by far the safer choice and his rating flatters him. So stopping de Mori wouldn't hurt Browne's ranking either. But de Mori wouldn't go near Browne.

[Totalpac]

Demori would outbox Browne easily to a UD, or stop him after the 8th.

Who has de Mori ever beaten that could lead you to think that?

Okay, if Browne really has ambitions to win a world title then he needs to be able to beat Tony Thomspon, and taking a fight with him and winning it whilst waiting for his shot would send out a message of sorts. I don't think Browne fears anyone, he may not be the most gifted of boxers but he isn't afraid of a challenge. De Mori is a poser and there is no point for Lucas to fight him, it's a lose-lose...

I don't think Browne is afraid of anyone either. He just wants to fight and that is why he got very frustrated with Hatton and Co a while back because they couldn't find him a fight. Browne is probably getting frustrated again now because he thought he had Chaegev and a world title shot next up.

Rightly or wrongly Hatton and Browne need to be careful with their next move. Because the Chaegev title shot is still there if they are patient, and Browne doen't lose a fight during the waiting period. Tactically Browne's best move would be a low risk fight. Even though I'd prefer to watch him fight someone who might present a bigger challenge.

I understand what you are saying about Browne taking a low risk fight just to stay busy, but I would rather he takes a statement fight, it is a gamble but if he beat someone like Tony Thompson it really would give him an edge coming into a fight with Chagaev / Oquendo. Whereas if he fought someone like Bowie Tupou or Raphael Zumbano Love what kind of message would that send? Sure he is protecting his ranking, but there is a psychological advantage to be gained when a challenger comes in off the back of a hard fight. It's a risk / reward strategy and maybe one worth pursuing...

The sound risk / reward strategy here is not blowing the Chaegev fight by risking losing one before hand. Even though I'd prefer Browne took a challenging fight, I seriously doubt that's the way it will play out.

Either way, Browne needs to fight soon, it is almost eight months since his last fight and he needs to stay active, I just want to see him back in the ring.

As an aside, it makes for a refreshing change to have a decent discussion on a forum, on too many boxing sites these days one gets abused by some troll five seconds after posting an opinion!

[bogan whisperer]

Browne to announce what will amount to nothing more than a keep busy fight very shortly. Likely to be back in the ring in August.

[lowlefthand]

He definitely needs to get back in the ring. Hope it's a decent opponent, but i'd guess it will be a very low risk fight
He's starting to sound pretty p issed off
