    Would be interesting to see Witter in the Brook, Jennings, Hatton mix.

    :think How did i miss this

    Great news I would like to see Witter go out on a high. His last fight he looked on the slide but if he can go a bit more fundamental i think he can still go a fair bit.

    Paulie would need a few more fights in europe to qualify

    What is that rule exactly Paddy? I thought it was 75% of their last 5 or 6 fights. I remember Duddy aiming for it when he came back around the Eastman fight. Also Lee was talking about it around the time he took on Gibb. Is it a certain amount of fights or is it recent fights??

    I don't think Paulie's going down the Euro route anymore. He's signed with Golden Boy and says he wants to fight in New York. Golden Boy have an exclusive deal with a new arena that's opening in New York.

    Hope Witter does well. He can still be a factor at domestic/Euro level at WW. Who knows he might even end up getting a shot against one of the lesser titleholders if he puts a run together.

    Ishy says his plans have changed but a few months ago he was talking about moving up to 147, he realized he probably couldn't be a force at world class and going for the Euro title. I'm not sure on what basis he would qualify? Parents?

    He has dual nationality I believe. He was talking about going to Italy when he was still with DiBella. After signing with GBP all they've talked about is Paulie fighting out of New York.

    One last throw of the dice for him I guess.

    A welcome addition to the undercard I'd say, should be a good night.

    In other words, now the US market is no longer interested he's off to try and milk the Italian one.
