When Will Romanov be Back on These Shores...

I notice we have some terrific names at light weight. Romanov, for those that don't know, won the EBU crown in his last fight, by means of an awesome KO of talented Spaniard Juan Diaz Melero.

Will he continue beating up our best?

Jon Thaxton? - absolutely fantastic against Meager, the Norwich man said he'd like a European title shot. Thaxton is suited to 135, IMO. Winning the British title may lift him, because he was always considered a talented nearly man.

Or how about Graham Earl 2? - what if Earl's WBO chances cock up? Ironically, after Earl beat Romanov in 1 of the best British fights of last year, Romanov went on to win the EBU. Romanov didn't look himself the night he fought Earl. He looked like he just wanted to take breathers and pot shot over the 1st half, and IMO rust had a LOT to do with that fight.

IMO Romanov's a future world champion. Come on Yuri, get back over here. How the eff can British promoters let this guy disappear halfway across the continent?

Rumour is Tontchev in Monte Carlo next for Romanov

I second the motion to get him over here again

Great KO. The guy just went limp. It's getting hard to find his fights so for the sake of accessibility, bring him back!

Is that fight on the world boxing video archive? The guy who sent me it - from Spain - is very angry that someone's uploaded it on the internet.

Thaxton's experience could help against Raminov.

Tontchev vs Ramonov isn't bad. Tontchev proved last year he still has something left.
