I'd say it wasn't a huge step up for Oakey, he's proved in the past to be a solid all round performer, and Magee is still to prove himself at this weight.Zhuge wrote:That's a big step up for him, but he's pretty much got to do something at 32. I think he should take a tune-up before Magee (Oboh would've been a solid test to see where he is), especially considering Magee has been more active of late with a far higher-class of fighter.Old bones Ian wrote:Things don't look to bad for Oakey , he's being lined up to fight Brian Magee , SKY have 2 dates 1 in June and the other in July for the fight.
Magee is happy with the fight as well, so Maloney is trying to find a site in either Portsmouth of Belfast thats free on those dates.
Its a real crossroads fight, I don't think its going to be pretty to watch either.
