He was apparently offered both Burton and Callum Johnson. Two decent scraps there instead of cannon fodder.

Do you think Ajisafe would have beaten Burton without much danger of losing?

Not necessarily but he was fighting a Commonwealth title fight,even if Wanyonyi was a bum,Burton will be about Commonwealth level

If Gavin was to pull out the Brook fight and the IBF was to mandate say Maidana,then Kell wouldn't be able to complain that he hadn't enough notice,

If you want to fight for a title then you should fight someone at that level,not a hand picked no hoper

Jono Carroll vs Carlos Perez first up

"King Kong"...1 KO in 6 fights...for some reason I would have thought "King Kong" would be more suited to a puncher

Poor opening round

Oh god I hate adverts between rounds

Comparing Carroll to Pacquiao... Okay... They are both southpaws, that's about it. Pacquiao was left hand happy but had blistering speed and thunderous power, Carroll has neither.

If you think about this fight purely from a stance point of view then it is just like Mayweather v Pacquiao.

I can see Carroll stinking out many a fight,just needs to think more about what he's doing

At one week's notice Brook would have every right to complain.

Anybody whose ranked in the top 15 by rights should get their shot however their style or previous title experience

if spinal tap was a boxing movie they'd put that sort of thing in for a laugh.

No.

Its a pity Perez didn't show more ambition in the first 3 rounds because there wasn't much separating them but Carroll found his range and finished well

No.
I think Ajisafe is starting to look very good indeed. In the last few fights he's added man-strength, experience and confidence to the awkward Ingle style.
He's a tough night's work for anyone at LH.

No.

So would Wlad be correct in refusing Mike Perez if Jennings pulls out a week before the fight?

Your acting as if Burton and Johnson are seasoned pros,Ajisafe is the one who's a seasoned domestic fighter,Bob had no right to reject them if it was for a title

Did Ajisafe only accept the Commonwealth shot if it was under the conditions that he only fought a mis match

Followed by the usual interview of 'I wanna fight Frampton, Quigg, Rigondeaux or Abner Mares' in his pathetic voice.

Back on topic does Tyrone Nurse remind anyone else of Science from Big Brother all those years ago?

Edit - Sweet fucki ng jesus you were actually serious about Petit vs Cruz!

I thought you were being sarcastic

Seen it floating around the last few minutes...I was assuming it was a late April fools or something

Decent so far,hopefully Taylor's eye holds up

Perez is like a journeyman to Wlad. It would be a very strange decision if he refused to fight Perez because he thought it might be dangerous.

It is his choice if he doesn't want to fight someone decent at one week's notice. He doesn't owe Burton or Johnson anything.

Why have there been so many pullouts on Hearn's shows recently? It is a bit dodgy.

The ref bought that as a low blow? O_o
