I actually don't think Carslaw is a terrible opponent as a voluntary, what I don't like is that Hall and Webb, far more worthy opponents, are having an eliminator (and in Hall's case a second eliminator) and Carslaw has gone the blind side to get the shot.

Carslaw is okay for a voluntary defence, once Webb and especially Hall have been dealt with.

Everyone predicted Rose's last fight with Maxwell and the same with Carslaw. This match up is very poor

have you read the posts above? the eliminator hasnt happened yet so there is mandatory yet and until there is you are entitled to make voluntary defences

Hall Vs Carslaw was an eliminator, but the loser gets the shot

Very true, typical, like the English title where 4 fighters were initially involved, then 6, then in the end none of the other five to Ochieng gets a shot, instead Lowe who was not even chosen before gets the shot.

There is obviously other names out there aswell but Carslaws name has been floating about being mentioned since Webb and Aaron were both holding the titles. Obviously he has lost since then but i know hes had at least one fight after the loss with another tune up due in the next few weeks.

From a personal point of view i hope Carslaw proves people wrong but some of his performances in the past have been poor. I thought he was lucky to get the nod a few fights ago in the kelvin hall aswell (against i cant remember who)

Although i agree its a tall order for Carslaw, i hope he wins this.
There are plenty other fights at world level etc that should never take place, i wouldnt class this as a mis match of the degree we have seen elsewhere. Carslaw aint the least deserving guy to ever challenge for a british title and for that reason, if he pulled it off then it wouldnt be the biggest upset either.

That was against D mitchell a few people thought D had nicked it

Completely agree mate. Carslaw is nowhere near as bad an opponent as people think. There's good fights to be made domestically at 11st. Hall and Webb is a very decent fight so your still getting that as opposed to either of them going straight in with Rose.

I been asked to suggest opponents on twitter by frank any suggestions?

Cars low probably best available having researched it bit.

No one was willing to change their plans to get a British title shot?

Carslaw is way down the list for a shot at the British title.

Yeah Erick Ochieng...Frank knows him well

Bradley Pryce v Steve O'Meara is a British eliminator aswell, O'Meara probabl;y cant take the shot as he needed to headline the 1st Box academy but Pryce who beat Patrick Mendy would jump at the shot
