Absolutely gutted!
Just heard from a good source.
Jamie has injured his arm apparently and his long awaited big fight is off.
What is going to be the top of the bill for the british leg of hatton night now?
According to someone (thats been offered a fight but isn't medically fit) they talking about good money for someone to step in at such short notice.They need a decent name that people know.

Wanted local lad to fight for light middle European belt...

I wonder if Michael Jennings fancies stepping up? That's if Bradley doesn't fancy it!

Sorry politics might hamper of course.

Jennings is a welter isn't he? in fact, i thought he had a world title at welter?

What light middles are currently around and ready to step in? Alexander broke his ankle or he would jump at the chance i reckon.

He holds the WBU title.

What is your source for the Moore injury?

OK finding someone to top the bill is a bit of a crisis and very important but what about poor old Jamie - Never mind us as fans being gutted Jamie has waited long enough for this chance and for now its slipped away from him - Sorry Jamie, really bad luck.

Ryan Rhodes is ready fit and able.
He's preparing for his fight on the 5th so why not ?

Jennings is injured. Bill will still go ahead

Someone on ESB also claims Baysangurov has a broken nose too.

Sounds a bit fishy to me?
Both fighters injured. Strange.

Ryan Rhodes? He used to be champion years ago! What a comeback that would be.
If he's already fighting tho, how could he box at wigan?

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 16:55

I've heard the same rumour.
So why not put on a British LM title fight - assuming Jamie will step aside.
Rhodes will step up to the plate - will any Maloney fighter do the same and fight him ?
Come on Frank - you know it makes sense. Let's keep the show rolling.

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:08

Think about it BMC !
The fight on the 5th would be cancelled - period.

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:09

Come on, Real Deal. Spill the beans ! 8)

mine was only a guess. Sure Steve Wood will clear it up

Who has Maloney got at LM who could feature in a British Title fight ?

bmc · Post by **bmc** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:38

Do you think we'll now get to see Elcock's fight on sky along with some of the wigan bill if they dont find a good replacement fight?
It's ppv so you would think the show has to feature some names wouldn't you? Jamie Moore's fight was a great appetite whetter for the Hatton fight.

matko · Post by **matko** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:43

ali n craig watson is still a cracker that could be a main event fight itself wit the commonwealth title at stake

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:43

Let's get this straight.
If Frank doesn't pull something out of the bag he is truly in the shit with Sky.
The bill has to happen, and there has to be a headliner - and that will / should be for the British LM title.
Rhodes is ready - make the call Frank.

whiskey · Post by **whiskey** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:44

Jamie could still fight then against someone else.... i hope so...;

Zab Judah is a light middle now !

(...although he fought already last week)

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:54

What u talkin about, Gomez ? Both fighters are injured - that's why it's off and there will not be a Euro title fight.

twenty six · Post by **twenty six** » 29 Nov 2007, 17:56

Matko,
My info is the pressure from Sky is well and truly on.
They asked for 3 title fights and they want 3 title fights.
Come on Frank - make the call.

Good fight.
But no way a bill topper for a ppv event as part of a double leg.
PPv is a huge deal in my eyes.
