I wanna see him in with mckinson. Great rating in the WBO, No power (a connor benn prerequisit), domestic and a hard fight to predict.

No, they will keep feeding him more or less Van Heerdens as long as it puts bums on seats- which it does. No point in paying over the top for title fights, they can all be called out on twitter. And then another has been or never was can be rolled out again until a vacant title comes along. :roll:

Cheaper options.
If Van Heerden fills a hall, headlining - why pay more?

Was disappointed Tommy ran out of gas after 5 rounds though.

I could see a ray robson, with a claim of wanting more southpaw rounds.... I think its a good progress fight (Id also do it in the USA for that experence), but a few on here might have a stroke..

I sort of get that CBS is bound to be a domestic fighter. And I don't care because he, well both of them actually, are entertaining.
Sure CBS may get a chance at a higher lever but seriously, I don't think he has what it takes despite his obvious dedication to train, and his courage to dig it in.

Sadly I loved his Dad as much as I don't like him.

He's gonna have to test that chin again someday. And the handspeed of a twenty something.

36, 1 win in 5 years and only boxed 3 rounds in the last 3 years, no power.......i like ray's chances lol. they can do the 'still learning vs southpaw' schtick

although mo hooker was lined up before and then got injured (i think that was it), so can see that being the one

tommy was european champ when smith beat him first time rd , he needs to rematch Riakporhe, its a strange division tho , sometimes fighters look good i mean i thought bivol was going to be next big thing than he is strugling against Craig Richards

It feels that way dosent it... but na, i just hold connor to a standard fair to what i think he is...

Ray would be better than Bootses last opponent, Way better than avas last opponent, way way better than Custio Clayton last opponent. There are plenty of guys getting a way with worse with very little complaint...

I had ray beating Kelly, and he has always been tough.
