Denzel Bentley vs Felix Cash is a great fight, different promoters yes, but no reason it could not happen in this case at least. Felix would destroy Denzel Bentley. Denzel is a good boxer no doubt but Felix will have far too much for him on the night. At this sort of domestic level his strength and power is too much for Bentley who I think will be overwhelmed.
One of them will withdraw from the purse bid. This fight cud and sud of happened when they were with Warren.
I dont get that either though as Warren had good in house fights to make with him? And he gets on well with Pat
God knows to be honest. It just doesn’t make sense for Hearn to poach him with no real plan for him, unless he’s lining him up for Cordina.
Felix Cash comes out of the blocks in the early rounds like a greyhound. Him versus Bentley would be a cracker, I think Cash's superior skills and speed would be the difference.
Hearn signed Zelfa Barrett because he's a big ticket seller in Manchester. I presume he wants to do regular shows there, and with no Crolla, Quigg etc he needs new blood. Hence why he signed Barrett, Aqib Fiaz, and also Campbell Hatton.
The Brad Foster vs Gamal Yafai fight, if there was crowds could actually do good numbers. Foster is from Litchfield, Yafai from Birmingham. Warren has stacks of Midlands fighters, so could put on a real card. Sheeraz vs Williamson Nathan Heaney is fighting soon as well, get him with Jason Welborn or someone like that.
