    Nice duck job there BJ.

    All the crap about prior obligations are clearly now looking like an excuse

    Why would you duck a title fight only to go for an eliminator??

    I remember when Wayne Braithewaite was undefeated and little more thought of, but losses and the years have really reduced what his career once was.

    MAck Truck is still dangerous! He brings it every fight. If Flores can box like he did vs Ding he might get by. BJ wanted a tune-up b4 he faced ADAMEK. I think Adamek is ducking a rematch with USS. Cunningham offers the most cheez right now.

    Sorry he didnt agree to a rematch 2 minutes after winning the title.

    After he trucks Steve again you will have to go on and root for the next guy who may be able to beat Adamek:hi:

    Flores is not ready for Adamek but instead of saying it he would rather lie.

    It's called the 'Jermaine Taylor Strategy'.

    He should claim this fight offers more money if he's doing it properly...

    According to Flores, Adamek's team wanted him to pull out of his tune-up in Vegas (where BJ lives and trains). Apparently Flores' family friend is putting the show on, and Flores is the headliner, so he did not want to bail on his friend just 2 weeks out. That is reasonable if true, IMO.

    But again, that is all according to Flores.

    You believe that horshe**** his friend was spewing??/The dude had multiple excuses and the most obvious being that BJ was only offered $35K(flat out lie).

    He claims he didnt want to back out of his tune up fight to face Adamek because there are posters all over Vegas and he is a man of his word.Why is it that his title eliminator is going to a purse bid on the 22 of January and he was supposed to fight on the 23 of January.He backed out of his tune up all of a sudden for a eliminator but couldnt do it for an actual title fight.

    Thats dumb.. He might as well go for the world title... Either way he's taking some sort of a beating.. Even if he gets on his bike and pot shots, its gonna be tough for him to win against Wayne... Cause he'll bring it every round and he's more active than Ding a Ling...

    PP - boxrec still has his fight up, but no opponent as of yet. :think

    Would be interesting to get Ding's take on this fight.
