Lyndon Arthur vs. Richard Bolotnik | CH5 - OFF

[Ruthless-RKO]

I read this fight is being confirmed.

Friday night on Channel 5..

We got a card already on 25th, so this will be good. 2 nights of boxing.

Card will be taking place in Bolton.5

[maverick23]

Really good fight. I quite fancy Bolotniks.

[margaret thatcher]

ya good one

[THEBUTCH]

Lyndon Arthur...Great !!!

[margaret thatcher]

ricky bolotiks is a warrior though , maybe he can bring out the battle in lyndy

[gregregegg]

Amazed how 1 sided this pole is. I’m backing Lyndon by points if he can trust his jab.

Edit: wait fuk all have voted yet,. So hardly conclusive…

[quickeyg]

That day will be great.

[a force]

I think the first Yarde fight flattered Arthur & I don’t think he’s anything better than British level & would expect Bolotniks to win this especially with a decent amount of time to prepare.

I’m going for Bolotniks - good fight

[jameswilson]

10 rounds or 12 rounds?

Some of the body shots Bolotniks sunk into Buatsi would have had a lot of light heavyweights over.

Is it just me, or do Pat Barrett trained boxers not throw enough punches?

Zelfa does doesn't he ?
I think it's just Arthur - he's big at the weight and not really a duracell bunny type. His style basically.

Hopefully we get another decent scrap on the undercard.

Decent quality fight. Well done C5.

[mickey1975]

He was on about a South American opponent in an interview I saw.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Shame.

[margaret thatcher]

rich vs rick is good too though

"Not approved"? By whom? Can't be a quality issue, given his record, so surely can't be the sanctioning body. Is it an injury (although Boxrec lists Bolotnik fighting on 1 April against Craig Richards)? Maybe he's failed a check weigh, if they are done for IBO titles? Anybody know why it is off?

Bolotniks is now fighting Richards on AJ card.

I get that. But my point was about the Everythingboxing tweet which said the fight was "not approved". That's a bit different from him deciding to fight someone else a week later, which is why I was wondering what it meant.

Amazingly I think the IBO have a rule whereby someone has to be in their top 30 or something to challenge for their title and Bolotniks wasn’t in there so wasn’t approved.

Yeh, you'd think that IBO would want their 3% commission and put him in there.

Thank you - interesting to hear that. Rare days indeed when a sanctioning body rejects a pretty good challenger.
