    Liam Walsh's defense against the unbeaten candian in doubt as he wont come to uk.

    http://news.boxrec.com/news/2013/ex...canadians-blast-‘disgraceful’-favouritism-com

    I thought this was a good fight for liam and a really good undercard fight.

    Looks like we are already seeing the typical erosion of the FW card that seems to happen way too often.

    Its a really good bill with some good fights, i hope everythign else stays on.

    Burn v Vasquez- a really intriguing fight i think

    Clev v Krasniqi- Not great but i suppose a reasonable defense

    Groves v French guy (cant remember his name)

    Chisora back

    Liam Walsh- hopefully

    Im looking forward to this card and i dont want to see happen what usually does.

    if this doesnt go ahead, whilst disappointed wont be the end of the world. the only other fight changing imo will be dereck chisora if he doesnt get his license back (when is the hearing for this?)

    True, its not a huge setback for the card but as far as undercard fights go its not bad is it?

    Have a big feeling that groves will pull out injured though lol

    As long as Cleverly is still fighting the warrior Krasniqi its all good, I have never been so hyped for a fight, in fact **** it, I'm going to go for a jolly wank.

    I would have a smile on my face for weeks Jim, I may even drive to Cleverly's hometown and moon the locals as a way to celebrate.

    noticed on twitter Frank Buglioni is on this bill too, also think Frankie Gavin could possibly be saw that hes hopefully out march/april next if all goes well Friday maybe add a British defence (would see him win it outright) for him to this card?

    I would like to see Gavin on the bill, providing the challenger is actually worthy of a British title shot, no disrespect to Jason Welbourne but to say Fridays fight is underwhelming is a bit of an understatement.

    Nothing to worry about, FW will find another suitable opponent and this really strong card will continue. If anyone from the big 3 fights pull out we start worrying.

    On a serious note I just hope Vasquez turns up, I'm really looking forward to him and Burns, I don't expect fireworks but an intriguing technical and tactical battle that can be just as enjoyable.

    I still think the McGuinness v Walsh fight will go ahead. The purse bid was for £35k or so. No way McGuinness is getting that sort of money anywhere else. They'll have their moan about preferential treatment of British fighters, but the fact the second highest purse bid was half the value of ******'s winning one tells you all you need to know.

    The thread title was meant as a description for what may happen.

    Not because i think that without this fight the card is falling apart.

    I mean that it has already started. However big or small, what usually happens to his shows has started with this fight.
