No, it may have been there a little while and I only just noticed it. They announce the rumour of his pullout at least. Get the impression they check out this place?

That went up this morning. Keith Holland's a good guy and at least he had the balls to go with something.

yep no wonder these websites r always getting it wrong

it seems like he is going to pull out i bet pinto isn't going to be too happy all that way from brazil and no fight

what other light welters can step in for him

where's shea neary when u need him

He is a good guy. And he's going to look good as well. Not sure who broke the Danny Williams pullout story first (knockout or Steve689), but Boxing-Central have run with it...

I'm not sure Pinto was due to arrive until Monday. Perhaps someone should have told him (if he's here). Unless they have an alternative opponent lined up. We'll see.

or Colin Lynes. They are British and would jump at the chance

shakermaker · Post by **shakermaker** » 09 Dec 2003, 16:16

is Rowlands a definte i.e. retired.......I know he hasn't fought for 6 months but he's still active on Boxrec

they just need a body. If Pinto has made his way here the might give him a runaround

or Ted Bami, but both are promoted by Matchroom so that might put a spanner in the works.

Rowland announced his retirement after a comeback win earlier this year. Said he didn't really have it any more, and didn't want to become a stepping stone. I can't see Pinto fighting anyone on Saturday. I mean, who's going to fight a banger like him at such short notice!

shakermaker · Post by **shakermaker** » 09 Dec 2003, 16:21

yeah he could be another Freitas and I'd defintely pass on the task!!!!

hitman_hatton1 · Post by **hitman_hatton1** » 09 Dec 2003, 16:25

this is a job for the "shamrock express" come back and give this brazilian some of ya old magic, jeez i miss this guy he was a star :)

how about letting hatton fight tackie and pinto on the same night they could put on one of those roll up roll up nights

I've heard Keith Holland's up for it providing they guarantee his press pass for future shows

I think Jason Rowland would come back if the money was right, I don't think he was questioning his ability more like disgusted that an ex-british champion (and the first fighter to visibly hurt hatton) recieved so little money in his comeback.

I'm sure if Rowland was offered the same money as Witter was he'd be there like a shot - it would be a fantastic opportunity for one last hurrah and I was thinking of him stepping in yesterday.

shakermaker · Post by **shakermaker** » 10 Dec 2003, 07:36

still no mention of the Witter situation.....might mean they are looking for a replacement.

there's something about it on Warren's site now.
