    It would be great to see Sutherland on the Dunne undercard in front of home support, hope it can happen...

    I just watched the documentary that was on HBO last night about Billy Collins (Irish descent) v Resto, powerful documentary and real sad story.

    Here is the HBO trailer of this documentary....

    I am not sure about that but he has been in corner of Aaron Pryor v Arguelo and a mysterious water bottle was apparently the reason for Pryor's second wind in that fight. He has been around many top fighters and is still working outside the corner now.

    I completely agree Cruz is onfire and both lads need to prove ALOT before they should take a title shot

    I believe a fight between Paddy and Choi could be easily made (i think Choi is out again in september)

    I was thinking about this match-up earlier and it could be a good fight, they have very similar styles, low hands etc....I think Witter is tailor-made for McCloskey and would be a nice scalp for him.

    I was talking to Paddy about this last night and he made the point that the fight was all ready to go for the Euro Title until Witter got his World Title shot. After Witters shambolic performance last night i think he's done, and a fight with a younger hungrier Paul McCloskey might not be the best idea for Witter if he does choose to carry on.

    As for Paul the WBC route could be a good way to go, Alexander was good last night, He did his job but he's not outstanding and Witter gave him the title on a plate. Olusegun is ranked quite high by the WBC, and if Paul can get by M'baye then maybe a Defence against Ajose could get him Ranked and set him on his way to a world title shot against Alexander.
