i believe thomas costello has moved up to middleweight (sure i read it some where)

Thomas and his team was offered it, but have other plans at present up at Middleweight.

It would suit him perfectly IMO, if you look at Prizefighter, pure boxers win it most of the time, the tough guys commit themselves too much to please the crowd and end up getting caught, sometimes stopped, can't see Nas being beaten over 3 rounds, it will take longer to get used to his style.

Is Nasty a 'pure boxer' then ?

PIGG

Still here ?

SAF will you contact Hearns... £32,000 can go a long way let along the publicity

Would love it MCATO but, Nas is on the verge of a title around the same time, may know more within the next 2 weeks. 32,000 thousand will certainly help him, no doubt, it will help anyone, the line up looks great so far, great mix, you have the brawlers, boxers, experience and novices, if the title shot is not available, will call, if it is will wait for the welterweight one, which will suit nas to the ground, bought time Nas was showed to the wider public.

I'd like to see;

Mark Thompson (looked good against Culcay)
John O'Donnell (been in title mix, local lad)
Steve O'Meera (local, really finding his feet and power!)
Robert Lloyd Taylor (defending champ)
Kris Carslaw (distance man, Scottish interest)
Matthew Hall (Relentless, Manc interest)
Erik Ochieng (Local, like him, last 3 fights all credible opponents, chancer)
Joe Selkirk (Scouse interest, good kid, going places IMO)

What a line up that would be! Selkirk & O'Meara are FW boys so I dont think that could happen, however Selkirk really needs something like PF as his career has slowed up many times. Did you see Heans Twitter page...Even BJ saunders was interested

Not a good line up IMO, the fighters are all good fighters, but Prizefighter is better with a mix of novices and experienced fighters, underdog V the fav, though I would love to see Matthew Hall in it for his style, Ochieng for for his skills and Selkirk for his power.

Saf would do you think about Ochieng vs Emmanuell Da la Rosa in London. I am not saying this fight is happening i'm just asking what you think would happen been as Nas has fought him

He can be outboxed as Nas showed and Nas hurt him a couple of times, so he can be hurt, but he is very strong and hits hard to the body, he is a big light middle, so Ochieng does not want to fight off the ropes which he likes to do, but has the skills for the job if he takes the centre and fights at range, if Nasser fought Della Rosa in Britain he would win it hands down, after all Nas really won it in Italy, Della Rosa used his elbows and headbutt's to good effect, something he will not get away with over here, it is winnable for Ochieng, but bear in mind Della Rosa only lost by a split decision for the WBC World Silver Title up at the higher Middleweight against ZBIK in Germany with a bad injury and was a nightmare for Zbik when he pushed him back on the ropes. Ochieng has nothing to lose and it all to gain.

Your welcome Mcato, it will cost a lot to bring him over, don't know if he will come even then, they are trying to get world title shot for him at light Middle, funny enough a Promoter was talking to us the other day about trying to bring him over here for a rematch, but they won't put him against Nas again, I already spoke to the WBC, when he was due to fight in the states this summer, his fight fell through, so we offered to step in, with no response. All the best to Erick though, hope he gets a big title shot soon.

I think he is down as a reserve

Will definietely be an interesting Prize Figher.

Anybody who has seen Valentine box (especially his horrible mauling or Ryan Aston) knows that he has gruesome power. Used to knock people cold while he was still in a headguard. He can be out-boxed though, which will be a problem.

Peter Vaughn could be the dark-horse for me. He's a quality lad, has uprooted to Birmingham to train, and fights with tenacity and one hell of a work rate.

I think Terry Carruthers could be in it too. He could def spring a shot

What about Adam Etches he can lose a couple of stone

Line up is

McEwan,Valentine,Vaughan and Mansour,karslaw, carruthers,ryan toms, larry euunkdayo,,,

Ive heard through the grapevine that Ryan Toms deffo in it and wouldnt be surprised if Jamie Moore is in it !
