    Eddie Hearn has mentioned he likes Galahad vs Jorge Casteneda before Galahad gets in the IBF 130 mix, a situation that looks like it could get messy with amount of names going for Kenichi Ogawa.

    Sort of agree however the Lara rematch wasn't a satifactory conclusion so that will leave a bad taste.

    I agree that sometimes fighters can't win despite what they do. If I was Warrington I would avoid Lara who clearly has power to cause Josh problems and with him being feather fisted himself it's not a good style matchup for him.

    Definitely left a bad taste because in many ways it could have ended like the first.

    Really hope Warrington defends against him if he wins.

    Warrington should fight Kiko in the Plaza de Toros de Sevilla and thank his luck stars he's getting another title shot :facepalm:


    Frampton in Belfast twice
    Scott Quigg in Manchester
    Leo Santa Cruz in California
    Josh Warrington in Leeds
    GRJ in the US
    Hozumi Hasegawa in Japan
    Galahad in Sheffield
    Zelfa Barrett in England
    Bernard Dunne in Dublin
    Rendall Munroe in England twice
    Takalani Ndlovu in South Africa
    Arsen Martirosyan in France
    Damian David Marchiano in Argentina

    And now Warrington likely in his backyard again

    Agree but I don't see it. Warrington just doesn't possess much power. he has a good work rate but even in the first fight you could see Lara's punches really hurting Warrington. he might be able to eeek out a boring UD with some home cooking with the judges and try and keep the fight at distance. Otherwise I just see Lara clobbering him again.

    I would have put money on Lara too. I think Josh wanted out fairly quickly to be honest.

    I don't think he's the type to quit, but I think he would have got banged again.

    Yeah I don't think he was looking to quit I just think he was looking to foul to get a stoppage on a cut either way.
    He showed guts in the first fight as he got hurt fairly early. I think his dad should have pulled him beforehand as he was never going to win that fight. I understand though that fighters have different mentality to us normies and quitting is not an option.

    I think Cordina will fight Ogawa and the plan is if Cordina wins to match him up against Zelfa Barrett in Manchester. I'm not sure about Galahad and where he goes, there are limited names for him to fight at 130 realistically.

    I don't think Hearn's plan will work though. Ogawa comfortably beats both Cordina and Barrett. Galahad is the only guy who realistically beats him.

    No doubt

    ''Fighting away from home opens your eyes. People were knocking on my door at 4am. They took me for a medical and said they'd lost all my forms, which was nonsense. I was taken on journeys that were supposed to be 15 minutes but lasted an hour.''

    ''I lost fair and square on the night and there are no excuses but things were bad from the start. Everything is against you. The crowd, the promoter and the local people, they try to make it as uncomfortable as possible. If you win a title abroad then you're a true champion, no doubt.''

    ---Richie Woodhall on facing Keith Holmes in the US.


    Mr. Scully, How difficult is it for a fighter from North America to train for a fight at home and then leave for an overseas fight a week or two before? You hear people talk about the adjustment, time zones and stuff, what is that like? Is it a difficult process for a fighter? - Pat in Maine

    ICE: I found it to be a mentally tough task to go there partly because of all the horror stories you've heard over the years. Did I get there in enough time? Will the time change affect me? Will the climate or the water or the food and the different altitude affect me? You find yourself asking a lot of questions. I don't know if it was nerves or jet lag or a combination of both but I know that when I fought Henry Maske for the IBF title back in 1996 in Germany there was not even one night there, including the night before the fight, that I was able to fall asleep before day break.
