    Godding vs Barnes is a good match-up.

    Godding will make a very good challenger to Frankie Gavin and I agree he deserves a straight shot after the excellent result in Germany.

    yeah seen that, if it is that is the case and Godding has the Gavin fight you have to feel for Barnes and Coldwell **** way of going about it that.

    according to Coldwell the board turned down an application for Godding to fight Gavin for the British so gets more confusing??

    If theres any justice in the world Godding has put the weight on to avoid the elminator as was offered the Gavin fight but its blown up in his face when the board turned that down too late for him to get the weight off. That would be karma

    You know what's overdue? Godding vs. Woodhouse! :deal

    Alright, so it's maybe less attractive than when it was originally scheduled three years ago - not to mention they're in separate divisions now and both have other pressing matters to attend to - but I still maintain it would be fun.

    Didn't he turn up to a check weigh-in massively over weight in a Final eliminator. Rumour was he was gunna get a straight shot at the british title then the board said no.
