AJ's fight will be put back to December and then Ortiz may fight Chisora.

Decent card. Can't see Smith or Murray winning. McDonnell should have enough to beat Solis. After this fight I'd quite like to see him against one of the other top 5 bantamweights.

Haskins, Tapales or Yamanaka. He's proven himself to be a world level fighter with his wins over Ceja and Kameda so I'd quite like to see if he can establish himself as the best in the division. Tete is up there too, Tete vs McDonnell would be a good fight.

Why's Jamie McDonnel v raushee warren not happening ?

It was mandated by the WBA and a deal had been agreed weeks ago.

If one has shat it they need to be stripped. But the WBA won't do anything. Javier Fortuna refused to fight Uchiyama ( actual champ at the time) when mandated and kept his paper belt. Jacobs will shit it from GGG and still keep his paper belt too you watch.

I really want Sosa to win. Otherwise Hearn and Gallagher will just con people constantly and refusing to fight the actual champion as well.

Anyone know the reasoning behind this card.

Matchroom usually stick to a strict business plan. British arena, sky sports or box office and domestic fighters.
Signing Ortiz and putting a show on in Monaco makes me think someone else is backing this one with the help of Matchroom. Any ideas who?
