Article on the BBC sport site but cant post links to it. Basically the fight with Lucas Browne is off due to Towers Visa issues. He can't get in due to his 13 year conviction for his part in a group kidnapping and torturing of a guy.
This happened a couple weeks ago, Travis Walker replaced Towers and Browne has just beaten Walker by RTD7. Browne was down in the 1st round, Walker down in rounds 3,5 & 6 then retired at the end of round 7.
second time that fights not happened. Browne should come to the UK and fight Towers on a BoxNation undercard.
Really? In that case im sorry for making the thread now, its only just appeared on the BBC Sport site today as new article. Just shows their level of interest i guess Delete thread?
Don't worry about, I guess a lot of people were unaware, it wasn't exactly made big news. Browne didn't look too special tonight, don't think he's ready to step up yet.
Well, there was a RBR going had anyone bothered to look... :yep http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=484473 As poor as Browne looked, I still feel Towers dodged a bullet not meeting him. (twice now) If you can be stiffened by a Gregory Tony's punches, you probably won't do well in a shootout with a Browne, slow oaf though he may be.
Actually let me amend that slow oaf bit to qualify it as meaning solely in regards to footwork. He actually showed flashes of fair hand speed when shoeshining on Walker.
Price could fly out to OZ for a soft comeback Commonwealth title fight away from the Liverpool pressure and come back with a KO confidence builder and then defend his both belts against Towers. Take stock thereafter
Price would still annihilate Towers. He could get knocked out by Thompson five more times consecutively, still a foregone conclusion that he blasts Towers down. :yep
Towers is a champion an will be the greatest undisputed of all time.......... At hide an seek! The big boof head better keep hiding coz Browne wants it in uk.
They are trying to set up Browne vs Towers in the UK now, still think Browne stops Towers early even after todays performance.
