Erm, excuse me for being a bit slow.
I only just found out that curtsie is 5'4"!
Isn't dwarf bashing illegal in the UK?
No wonder you lot are going off about this guy being a soft target. He is also 37 years old, which in middleweight terms is 65.
That is pretty sad.

He seems fairly fresh and has bashed up two much taller, unbeaten prospects in his last pair of fights. He could've easily been given the decision against N'dam as well, though that was several years back.

He knows how to make his lack of height work for him, and I don't think most are 'going off' about him being a soft target; I think he's generally recognized as a guy who, while the underdog, can give BJS a tough night.

He's also 5'4 wide, find his last fight online, BJS will beat him if he's in good shape, if not it could be a very hard night. He's a very tough guy.

He also battered Khomitsky's body and made him quit; GGG is the only other guy to legitimately stop SK.

BJS on form should win, but it's hardly a 'sad' fight...

The 'vor's' are some of the most respected and feared criminals in the world. He must be very serious to be involved with one.

It's been awful, but you really can't blame him for this.

Or maybe he call AL Haymon a call who is allegedly the most powerful being in the universe.

I wish he had done BJS at the press conference. Vors are the toughest, staunchest of crooks in Eastern Europe

Can't blame BJS for this but shouldn't he really be having fights way above this level as WBO champ? Terrible reign even for a WBO and they should have been much firmer with him if they still want to be taken seriously, he's gone nowhere since beating Eubank Jr, has he really been that unlucky?

September ffs.

His career's turned into a joke. He may as well retire. You can't put it all down to bad luck.

i'm disappointed aswell, as I'm sure W@rren is. I was looking forward to this fight and it had a nice build leading into it.

He needs to headline a big show the same night as GGG vs. Canelo, ideally with Tyson Fury as co-main to maximise exposure.
Personally I would go for Lemieux but Brant and Monroe jr are good options also for US exposure.

The GGG/Canelo winner has to be the next fight unless there is a rematch clause...

So in recent weeks Warren or others connected to the various fighters have all said "September" for fights... BJS, Parker v Hughie, Flanagan v Verdejo... Could Frank be building a monster card?*













*Which will almost certainly fall apart.
