140s NExt Fights Become Clear

Castillo-Hatton - the IBFs officially been dumped

Witter-Harris - looks like WBC will enforce this next, Witters toughest fight to date alongside the Judah fight, sink or swim time. This is a super-fight without the noise a tough 1 but winnable for Witter too. Both are Mr Avoided

NDOU IBF CHamp - mentioned Witter and Tyszu as first defenses

MBaiye-Kotelnik - I think Mbaiye takes this more impresisvely this time

That also leaves Corrales, Torres, DHOPs on the side lines looking in

Things are hotting up and exciting as a British fan.

Hennessey would do well to get Witter-Harris on the PBF-DLH undercard

That sounds intriguing. N'dou has earned his day after a FOTY win over Rabah, and another all Oz fight with Tszyu is too good to not happen.

The problem to that is Tyszu said he'd never fight at 140 again as it was too hard making the weight and if he came back it would be 147/154. I also see Ndou bringing the same problem of constant pressure and Iron Jaw that Hatton did if it does happen.

That does take the shine off it. Maybe a catchweight. I'd like to see this. Lovemore's had a hard career, has risen above journeyman status (Glengoffe style) and deserves a payday.

There's been some intriguing domestic interest Australian fights. Ndou-Rabah, Mundine-Green, Mundine-Soliman 2 coming up. Then again Tszyu has said he want s a fight in Russia.

Has N'dou been made champion? Or must he fight for the vacant? Or has he retrospectively won it thanks to the stoppage of Rabah?

N'Dou-Ben Rabah was only an eliminator not an interim title fight so N'Dou must fight in a vacant title match.

Looking at the IBF rating N'Dou could end up fighting Kendall Holt or Paul Malignaggi for the vacant.

D. Hopkins the natural opponent is booked to fight Steve Forbes in March already so i'm not sure if he will be ready for an IBF title fight.

I was just wondering the same.

Bizarrely, Hopkins (#2, but ahead of N'Dou and Ben Rabah in the Jan rankings) has already had an IBF eliminator. So how the IBF were pressing N'Dou and not Hopkins? Have I missed something? Has Hopkins got other plans?

N'dou is acting like he has the belt.

Witter Malignaggi anyone?

i think that was to be next in line.

i assume he will be made mandatory now.

he'd beat n'dou i think.

but what has D Hopkins ever done to suggest he can beat a top 10 fighter?

i've watched him loads of times over the last few years.

he's an excellent boxer/mover and his power ain't too bad.

he's boring but good.
