taken from frank warrens site

However there was a set back for team UK with the news that their most experienced campaigner, former British, Commonwealth, European and WBU light-middleweight champion Wayne Alexander, has been forced off the show with an injury.

His replacement has yet to be confirmed, but prospect Colin McNeil is in the frame, subject to team USA approval.

looks like colin might be fighting at lt middle again against k9

Sound! It's good Colins got a fight coming up at least. This will be an interesting one that's for sure, especially if it's against K9. When is the show anyway?

FFS.

It's March 30th.

Don't be so negative hitman, we have Paul Smith and Ross Minter.

Also Robin Reid versus Jesse Brinkley seems to be added.

Plus we will get to see Anthony Small in a real test with Walter Wright.

Looks very promising for us IMO

Any chance of half the UK side dropping like flies? It is a Franny Wazza bill after all.

Robin Reid? thought he was finished - probably more interested in the limelight than anything else.

Colin Mcneil's a good fighter - I think he'd beat Jennings and Minter!

Oh didn't realise this Reid vs Brinkley fight was going to part of this in the UK. Just thought it was in America.

If Reid wins, does the likihood of Reid vs Calzaghe II come into the fore - 7 years too late.

Does this mean Rob Reid is a SN fighter?

Anthony Small's got a real test here, Walter Wright has definetely looked like one of the better fighters on the contender and is way better than anyone Small has been beating. Should make for a good show though, pitting the mouthy showman types together.

Can putting together highlights of every round, showing the same shot from different angles, using sound effects on punches etc actually make a recent Robin Reid fight entertaining??? It'll be a tough job for the editors

Paul Smith's opponent for the Contender show is now Jonathan Reid.

Instead of Miguel Espino.
