That's naw good. Was looking forward to it and thought it was a 50/50 fight! Who's going to replace Rees? Arthur maybe? Mitchell?

Mcalister, Limond. Matthews turned it down. I don't see Mitchell fighting on this.

McAllister boxed at Lightwelter a few weeks back for some intercontinental belt so don't think he's on the weight. Limmond is on a show in Ireland soon, I think. Dunno who it will be. Al stick with origanal prediction and say Athur.

I think Crolla would have a good chance against Mitchell.

Based on the spar Derry gave burns weeks ago hed have a excellent chance against corolla or any domestic lightweight imo

He would be a tough nights work for anyone. Would be a good scrap with Derry and Corolla. Am sticking by my first prediction and saying Arthur or Mitchell.

Yeah, me too. Crolla's last display was flawless and Mitchell has been so inactive since his defeat to Katsidis that Crolla would have a very good chance at beating him. An even fight imo.

McAlister got cut badly in his last fight but I think Crolla would be a bit too much for him anyway....

Why not phone up and offer Limond for the fight. He has the ability and experience and its a fight am sure he could get up for. It could also be the last chance he gets of fighting for the British as he is in his early 30's now.

Can arthur make lightweight?

Think he weighed around 63/64kg in his last fight. Think the Lightweight limit is just over 61kg. Can he make the weight? Am sure if he was given notice he would push himself to make the weight. Add the British Title to the mix and considering where he is in his career he would do his very best to make it. I am only saying AA because that's who I want to see box for it. Who else has been linked with the fight?

I can't believe no one has mentioned Gary Buckland

I know he's moved to super feather but has fought big fights at lightweight

I'm sure he'd be interested
