Froch, Ward, Groves or Bika.

It's a much better fight. Eddie Hearn and Adam Smith would cry too.

Must be a world title fight, because anything other than that, after the Froch fight, is not big news.

They will announce the fight tomorrow and Saurland says it will be no tune up,they have hinted about going to WBC route if they do I can see them going for Rebrasse who has a high ranking or Vlasov.They could go for Manfredo who some casuals may remember from Contender.

Manfredo falls into the tune up category for me.

Yeah for me too but you know what these promoters are like,they would try sell it as a competitive fight.

Can't see it being a big opponent.

I noticed in the schedule that Steiglitz fights Khomitsky in a couple of weeks George should fight the winner then Abraham for the WBO belt

X3, he has nothing that can trouble Groves in the slightest.

Manfrodo is better than beanpole vlasov or Frenchman Rebrasse.

Gilberto Sanchez is padded as hell, but is a 6'2 unbeaten Mexican southpaw with 22ko to his name.

Love is all hype, Periban is decent stock but always the bridesmaid.

Overall the WBC top 10 is quite mediocre if we are honest.

Gilberto Sanchez Ramirez is pretty good and probably the best and the most promising of that bunch above despite his admittedly unspectacular resume. Overall the quality of the WBC 168 rankings are total shitt though, even by alphabet belt standards.

Take a look at this mess:

Sakio Bika

1. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
2. Gilberto Ramirez
3. Christopher Rebrasse
4. Maxim Vlasov
5. Anthony Dirrell
6. Alexander Brand
7. Derek Edwards
8. Badou Jack
9. J’Leon Love
10. Marco Antonio Periban
11. Hadillah Mohoumadi
12. Peter Manfredo, Jr.
13. Julius Jackson
14. Beibi Berrocal
15. Callum Smith

Isnt Ramirez the only guy to of knocked out Mouton aswell who's got a rock hard head?

Yep, did it in one round as well.

That might actually be his best win considering the nature of it. Mouton is a very durable guy who has given a lot of prospects tough, tough fights.

I thought Dirrell hadn't had a fight in 2 years..

That's Andre, not Anthony.

Anthony fought Bika to a draw a few months ago and is rematching him on the Porter-Brook card.

there was a little voice in my mind after I typed that telling me there were two Dirrells, sorry!

Saurland has posted on twitter about going to Wembley so it looks like it will be at the Arena,maybe he is popular enough now to fill it against an average top 15 fighter I`m not sure.There would be allot of fans who jumped on the bandwagon who have jumped off after the Froch defeat.I do believe it will be someone like Rebrasse or Vlasov and be billed as some sort of elimimator

George Groves Vs Christopher Rebrasse for the European title and eliminator for the WBC title at Wembley Arena

I've heard Christopher Rebrasse in a final eliminator for Bika's WBC belt. 20th September Wembley arena.

Quite interesting to see what Sauerland do with the undercard, might go to this. Whats the views like at Wembley arena?

i don't see this as a big fight myself , i must admit i hadn't heard of him and doubt many non hard core fans have .i think george would struggle to fill an arena for this fight unless the undercard is amazing....

He is the unified French Leisure Centre champion.

When he wins, they usually hold the after-party around the vending machines.

will be very interesting to see how sauerland promote in England,,

hope they have Price in a big fight on the undercard

Any info on TV coverage for this yet?
