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.
Allegedly may have a bit of a problem here...whilst the undercard in Vegas is pretty decent there was supposed to be British interest as well!

Gutted about this I always look forward to Moore fights - never in a dull one Jamie - and also gutted for Moore though I'm sure they can reschedule.

This is all assuming Jamie is willing to drop the british title, isnt it?

Can somebody clear this up once and for all?
Is either boxer injured, or both?
Three title fights? Simple - Nuumbembe-Watson, Edwards-McDonnell and... get a feed from Switzerland FFS!

that's settled. I'm recording the Khan and Francis fights without feeling guilty now.

I understand both boxers are injured, but it wasn't Jamie that pulled out first.
There will not be a European match up as a consequence, but there is no reason why a British title fight cannot take place.
Oliver - not often we agree, but I think you've got this right.
Woolcombe v TBA.
TBA can be Rhodes - no problem.
So come on Frank get on the phone.
Sky want their 3 title fights.

It would make sense - Woolcombe and Rhodes are both in shape, Gary for tonight and Ryan for Wednesday. I'm sure both would welcome the shot.

Arent there rumours Setanta are in negotiations to pick that one up, especially now there is further added interest with Williams and Norton (is it) on the bill.

Jamie's not injured is he? Just the Russian with a broken cheekbone?
Can't wait for Ali v Craig, be a stonker that one.
If twentysix wants to feed Rhodes to Moore than I'd like to see that as well, but's devastating for Jamie, he really deserved this shot....
Let's hope it gets sorted asap..

So Moore either takes British title shot versus a late sub, unless he's injured, at which point he has to vacate to save the show.
Woolcombe v Rhodes?
Woolcombe v Facey?

Jamie wont be fighting on the 8th December
jamie still has the british LMW title so that title wont be on the line on that date (unless he drops it to save the show - which I cant see him doing).

Don't worry, if they did, it would be part of the Box Office show, which you can get regardless of having Sky Sports or not.
