I totally hear you but Ochieng has to keep busy with Liam Smith with the Commonwealth but has to fight Sai and Rose gone another route Erick just has to keep fightingHorse wrote:Rose should have vacated the British title to allow Ochieng to fight Smith, Webb or someone like that for the vacant title.
What's the point of this fight?

Well I think we could have some interesting domestic fights at light middle and I know Ochieng and a few other boxers should be in the mixcolumbo wrote:no those two are and Cotto.

Nasser is a very good fighter but again too many of his so called fights have been called off for many reasons and I think he has an oppertunity to fight Mansouri for the English and that is not confirmed so there is a little bit of unrealiability attached to Nas at the moment which he needs to shift.Jack B wrote:Also, why did Ochieng vacate the English rather than face Nasser Al-Harbi? That would have been a half decent scrap on the undercard for the 25th would it not?
kaddour won 5 of the 8 rounds on all 3 cards. that was not a hometown decision. what roundsjonp wrote: max maxwell got stitched up in denmark changed the fight from ten to eight five mins before and he was hanging on for a hometown decision blowing at trhe end of eight.
Eric too fit and too focused
You didnt mention the fact Khaddour came in over weight? or that they changed it just before they went in the ring and the fact he was blowing at the end of seven and would have stuggled to do the full ten.That was the home town advantage i alluded too.Boxrec reports are wrote by local guys everyone knows that.If hed been as good as he should have been he wouldnt have come in over weight and they wouldnt have had to change the length of the fight just before the start.sucracristo wrote:kaddour won 5 of the 8 rounds on all 3 cards. that was not a hometown decision. what roundsjonp wrote: max maxwell got stitched up in denmark changed the fight from ten to eight five mins before and he was hanging on for a hometown decision blowing at trhe end of eight.

do you think maxwell won that the judges didn't give him?
boxrec's account of that (the card was televised on nordic fight night)
http://news.boxrec.com/news/2012/eubank ... just-short
maxwell took the fight with ochieng on 4 days notice, so the last minute changes don't scare him off.
also, kaddour just pulled out of the fight. he says his right hand and shoulder hurt
http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_spor ... 950114.ece
if kaddour beat ochieng it would not be his best win and not even close to his best
opponent with 2 competitive fights against ishe smith and alfonso gomez. kaddour
would by far be the best opponent ochieng had faced. would have been a good fight.
it's still almost 6 weeks out so not sure what kaddour's problem is.
obviously, 5-6 years ago kaddour was on the way up, but still needed to improve to
fight world class opponents, especially in the stamina department. instead, he took
a few years off with personal problems and has since been doing enough to beat
club level fighters and it's unclear whether he can even raise his game back to where
it was, never mind improve on that. he still talks about a rematch with smith
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khFigs_yVJ8 and world title fights, but
he lets himself get out of shape between fights and sauerland says he wants too much
money for facing club fighters on undercards. ironically, kaddour looked like he would
be heading into training camp this time already in good shape so he would have been
using all his preparation to gear up for his opponent, but apparently aggravated something.
his boxing career may be sputtering out and he may have to just focus on his mechanical career.

Ochieng wins this one easily as iv said khaddour doesnt live the life.
Yep Ochieng will be fighting someone else on 25th May.

you said he was hanging on for a hometown decision at the end of the fight.
there is nobody who saw that fight who would say the decision was hometown.
maxwell lost the fight by unanimous decision because he lost 5 rounds. then you
say the decision to cut the distance the last minute was for reasons other than
stated (the card was too long with keller, skoglund, braekhus, and neilsen
going the distance on a 9 fight card). i don't believe that was the only adjustment
to the schedule, either. nice tin foil hat you're wearing, there.
kaddour WON the 7th and just needed to not get ko'd in the 8th to add another win
to his record. do the math. you have an 8 round fight. without kd's or points taken away,
you need to win 5. you clearly spot the other guy the 1st 3 rounds. you are in deep doodoo
at that point, aren't you? granted max did better after that but he still lost 2 of the
next 4 rounds. if the fight was 2 more rounds, all kaddour had to do was win one
of the last 2 and the result would have been the same. you are saying because kaddour
had the fight won and didn't need to fight the last round that he couldn't have won it.
woulda coulda shoulda. that's what people say after losing 5 of 7 rounds in an 8 round fight.
"but wow did he have a good last round" (that was inconsequential to the score)
"if it was a 15 round fight our guy surely would have won it!!"
ochieng looks like he definitely lives the life, though, and if he had any advantage at
all over kaddour it would be that, but to say he would win easily is either ignoring
how much ochieng gets hit against the level of opposition he is fighting now or
just not knowing much about what kaddour has done in the past.
again, not sure what kaddour's problem is and why he pulled out right after the
fight was announced if his injury has been bothering him for weeks, but if the
fight did come off it would be a good battle. not sure if you caught that the
kaddour-ochieng match is canceled at this time in my last post
