Some footage of Otake: http://www.asianboxing.info/videos/hidenori-otake-vs-yuji-maruyama Apparently the Japanese sports media aren't talking about this so I wonder if it is a done deal or another distraction by Hearn
Dickens is a good fighter as he will prove. In an interview Galahad has claimed Dickens is better than Quigg. I'd back Dickens to beat Munroe. Would you then rate him above Frampton?
You can't blame the Japs for not getting excited about Quigg. He is a complete unknown due to abysmal mis management and promotional failure by his team. Let's face it, it's not as though he is a big star in the division, like, say, I dunno..someone like ..Carl Frampton!! :happy
Solaris, reading through the post, you contradict yourself alot. When fans starts using money and promotors as an excuse, you start to worry. Quigg has only fought '1!!!!' live fighter in his whole career and he still only managed a draw. Against someone who got spanked out by a journyman in his next fight. Quigg will be found out when he steps up.......or IF he steps up.
Today they mention fight. Otake not a good challenger. He easy victim for Quigg who will walk through him. Well done Eddie Hearn for getting WBA to sanction unranked challenger!
Yeah, your man with the no.1 ranking in BoxRec ("BoxRec who are independent of all the rancid organisations") and has an actual world belt. Yeah, that fella.
