    E-Hearn has said that he's looking to make that fight now if both Hunter and Takam are up for it.

    When did gassiev become a well rounded enough fighter to lead anybody to believe he would even want to fight mike hunter?

    Sounds like Hearn is actually the only promoter making fights happen and keeping to the plans saving events and people's tickets . Still makes an interesting fight Hunter V Takam and Joshua V Ruiz both fights I want to watch .

    Really hope It can be made, worried about Hunter though - has he been in a proper camp? Can’t imagine he’d take it this soon if not.

    Hunter would of been training , too many fights upcoming and being second to AJ Ruiz you'd still train as you never know who gets injured . Hunter is prepared as best he can be at short term notice . Both AJ Takam are large men and Takam was training for someone smaller so it makes sense .

    good opponent, but that is NOT a main event fight. that is definitely a warm up fight.... Especially in America, where both fighters are virtually unknown.

    A rematch? :smile: Ok, maybe it wasn't the best idea. Well, it seems Hearn is trying to make Takam vs. Hunter.

    it doesn't matter, I guarantee u, the arena is gonna be half empty, if not even more... Back in september I went to see a fight, Victor Ortiz was supposed to fight Eric Molina, but just a few days before the fight, Ortiz was arrested on **** charges, and he didn't fight... and literally nobody showed up.. I've never seen such a big arena so empty. Eddie/Matchroom can lose tons of money at the gate.
