Who could replace Lee Purdy ?

jcairns1 · 12-03-2012, 11:54 AM

Now we all know that Purdy has pulled out of the fight this saturday with Carson Jones, a big problem is that Carson has already landed in England so Eddie should definitely keep him on the bill.

Who could realistically replace Purdy and take on Jones with only 5 days notice? there are

Matthew Hatton
Colin Lynes
Junior Witter
Denton Vassell
Selcuk Aydin
Frankie Gavin

An Eastern European?

Sorry JCairns,missed the word realistically.

Michael300 · 12-03-2012, 11:59 AM

I would love to see Denton step in, but probably not possible?

Smoggy7188 · 12-03-2012, 12:00 PM

Michael Lomax, he is scheduled to fight on Goodwin bill.

jcairns1 · 12-03-2012, 12:07 PM

Lomax is shit, he got blasted out by Matthew Hatton inside a round last time around, I reckon Matt would take the fight if he was offered it tbh.

HeavyT · 12-03-2012, 12:09 PM

and everyone said it was such a great card compared to Frank's...

At a weeks notice? when he has an ibo shot lined up? Hatton will go nowhere near it. Neither will alot of fighters cos jones is dangerous and will want longer than a week.

jcairns1 · 12-03-2012, 12:10 PM

Fly Jan Zaveck in ?

achillesthegreat · 12-03-2012, 12:11 PM

I'd say Vassell. Jones would come to fight him too.

Damn, Hearns Christmas card has fallen apart.

TED 822 · 12-03-2012, 12:19 PM

As said,very short notice,but though it wont happen,out your list Id like it to be Gavin.A step up for him but one that would be good to take him to a higher level.Dont think hes got stacks of time on his side so this would be good,I think.Vassell also.Looked really good last time and IMO a great fight,one hed at least have a chance with.If he won,the skys the limit.

Lynes was the first name that sprang to mind

Alexandra park · 12-03-2012, 12:32 PM

Vassell only did six(?) with heffron and has probs tapered down to the point where he'll still be in peak shape. Was sayin he had two days off in a yr so itll be realistic for sure. Like i said before, big decisions that cld shape a career. You know if he gets offered and rejects, he'll fight in six months at a leisure center against lomax or nigel wright ( no disrespect, just what happens these days)

Alexandra park · 12-03-2012, 12:33 PM

Nice xmas payday for him too.....

Somebody tweet Vassell.
