According to box-nation twitter jamie cox and Paul butler will fight in respective WBO eliminators....

Butler does well with the sanctioning bodies.

Well deserved.

I don't get how cox thinks people are ducking him as hes not been back long after 3 years out

Isnt Inoue the WBO champ at Super Flyweight??

Yes, and he'd beat the crap out of Butler.

CHAMPION ARTHUR ABRAHAM ARM
1 Gilberto Ramirez (International) MEX
2 Patrick Nielsen DEN
3 Jesse Hart (NABO) USA
4 Jamie Cox (WBO Europe) UK
5 Blake Caparello (Oriental) AUST

I assume it's either Nielsen or Hart next for Cox then with Ramirez due in with Abraham next. Nielsen is a decent enough fighter, would be a good step up for Cox. Anyone seen Hart ?

Hart is solid--just missed out on making the US Olympic team and seems to have transitioned well to the pro game. He's a rangy boxer puncher and I'd favor him over Cox.

Hart looks quite tall. Almost a classic amateur style. Decent jab, very long reach.

No chance Hart is coming over here. I believe he's with top rank and is one of there top prospects.

Would love to see Cox prove himself domestically first against either Blackledge or Fielding.
Can't see Butler going Japan or Inoue coming to the UK

Nielsen, Murdock and Krasniqi are WBO Top-10 and currently without opponents...

Jamie beats any of them imo, he's on fire, both in the gym and in the ring since his return, soon has he gets that chance people will see exactly what he's all about now at this stage of his career, never mind years ago when younger, and the 1 past fight that people keep judging him on and mentioning, he's now a man, got family commitments and he's got a unbelievable desire and fire in his belly to succeed that I just can't see being doused, his will is so strong, he's thoroughly focused and dedicated #2016 time to unleash the #Beast

Hope your right, I really like him

The rankings confuse me on Boxrec have Jaime ranked No9 yet he's No4 with the WBO?
Either way good luck to both of them you grab your chance when it presents itself

Remember watching Him back in the ABA (I'm sure it was Lightweight) now he's a big man with Man strength hope he goes all the way!!

We take a punt.

We get home advantage.

If it was in the UK I'd personally travel anywhere in the country to watch Inoue.
Great talent.

Inoue has a mandatory tentatively set for May (set to be announced probably next week for the "Golden Week") vs Carmona so Butler Vs Inoue wouldn't be enforced until next year at the earliest and given the backing Fuji TV and Horipro have given him it would take a monster (haha) payday to lure him over to the UK. Could however be in the US as Inoue wants to make US debut later this year. Originally the plan seemed to be a rematch with Narvaez (who had a rematch clause he said he was going to use) but the Argentinian seems to have had second thoughts and Butler could be advertised relatively easily for an Inoue bout on an under-card Stateside (HBO have spoken about Inoue Vs Gonzalez, the two fighters and their teams have spoken about it and it seems likely to happen in 2017).

I can't see how Frank/allegedly could match Ohashi/Fuji in terms of financials, and Fuji have invested a decent chunk in live boxing recently, also snapping up Murata.

For what it's worth Butler doesn't last much longer than Parrenas did. If he thought Tete was good he would be in for a shock with Inoue...either of them for matter.

Warren loves the WBO! Practically owned it back in the 90's and still has massive influence....get the "WBO European" crown then fight unprepared for "world title" seems to be his motto.

We would too fight has been put to Blackledge twice he's now blocked all of us on twitter. Fight was put to Groves aswell as Ramirez & Rebrasse all have refused Ramirez
Refusing is understandable he's mandatory so please believe we want these fights

Good to see he has something to build on at last! Any ideas of opponent and date yet?

Saw you guys over in Dublin at second coming Jamie looks hungry for it.

We take a punt.

We get home advantage.

Or, we wait until the title becomes vacant and get a vacant title fight at home against a weak opponent.

If that's at 115lbs the weight could be a long one, Inoue's stated he wants to break Gushiken's Japanese record whilst he's at 115lbs, means he's targeting at least 14 defenses

Or not.

I quite like Butler and think he beats Conlan very convincingly. However I think Inoue may be the real deal and Butler would be a huge huge underdog in the fight.

As for Cox he's yet to be tested and recent opposition looked way out of their depth.

Hopefully he steps up soon to his credit he doesn't seem bothered who he fights.
