Hi Ryan,

Really??? Gevor or take we won't have to wait long to find out. I hope you're right as it would be a brilliant fight.

Regards,
Sonny

think the watson fight is a bit of a miss match he doesnt even have a top ten ranking im surrprised sky and the BBBC have alowed this one to go ahead! well i for one will be holding back my money till there is some more compeditive fights added to the card :(

Kevin Mcintyre would be available and has been top ten for some time

Who else could Watson fight? Vassell fighting on 26th March. Jennings is injured. He just fought O'Donnell. Hatton has just fought. Brook wont be allowed to fight on that bill.

would have thoght mcintyre who beat haughen for celtic title would have been best option and is a former british title holder who has beat the likes of anderson and docherty and pushed thompson all the way in a great fight last year! or lynes who just got a good victory over pryce

Lynes would have been a good shout. When the last time Purdy fought?

Maybe they Feel too dangerous for First defence

U talk poo. No way Macklin would fight Murray. Not when hes fighting for a 'world title' in the near future..... Too high risk for too little reward.

I Agree, Theres an interview on youtube with murray from yesterday (type in Martin murray on john anderson) its posted by boxing ireland dotcom, saying he got the phone call friday to fight macklin he was up for it, but then recieved a call few days later saying macklin had choose to fight gevor instead, feel sorry for murray he needs a big fight soon as hard to get as motivated for these opponents weve never seen before or are not well known,

Well there was talk of it but I hear that Murrays team turned it down even though Murray wanted it.

There are two video interviews on our YouTube channel that we put up yesterday and both fighters talk about each other.
