Craig McEwan was supposed to be fighting on maloney / VIP bills wasnt he? Although I dont think it was exclusive so feasible craig could. Groves should make his debut? |

Not a bad choice of opponent but if rumours were true he was probably looking for a 'name' - someone that has been there but is not at the top of their game. Johnson's no mug from what I see and it will be a good fight should it come off. I'm happy as long as Haye puts on a good performance and carries on to fight decent opposistion.
