Jamie McDonnell Commonwealth defence 28.5.11

Hall is a big Bantam.

 

It's a shame that Mismatch isn't going to put these two in with each other.

They've got all the relevant belts, McDonnell has come off a couple of excellent wins, whilst Hall's opposition has been weaker they've all been dispatched in impressive fashion.

Would be a good local derby this - even though Hall is a Geordie he's based in Leeds. Could always have it at Barnsley Metrodome or somewhere in Newcastle.

 

Perhaps he has a commonwealth title fight as they are busy negotiating a EBU defence against Hall and this is a keep busy 6 or 7 rounds to shake the rust off before the Hall fight is announced.

Taking the positive angle, cant see any other reason to have a commonwealth defence really, unless he has something lined up or trying to be lined up

 

Gary Davies was a good win for Hall, judging by how those at riggside for Davies-Napa saw the fight.

 

He's not really a geordie though is he? Thought he was from darlo? Fight somewhere in Yorkshire yes but can't see it shifting many tickets in newcastle

 

Will be in Sunderland so Baloney can whack Jeffries on.

 

mcdonnell beats hall imo, maybe late stoppage.

 

Bit of a shame it means the HAll Mcdonnell fight is probably a fair few months off.

I have liked the look of Mcdonnell recently and admired how he has risen through the ranks so quickly and they way he has done it but the more i see Hall the more i fancy him against Mcdonnell. Big fella long arms powerful Mcdonnell is a volume puncher so there will be plenty of opportunity for Hall to land on him as he has to move into range.

I would probably fancy Hall to outmuscle Mcdonnell just at the moment but an intriguing fight nontheless

 

there must be another good fight on this card. why would sky accept this is a main event??

 

Have you seen some of the main events that have been accepted by Sky this year?

In seriousness Sky need to bankroll Sat fight night having a set fee per show doesn't inspire promoters to put on better shows. Unless Sky up their fees or specifically call for a fight but offer more to make it happen then inevitably promoters will go for the option that makes them most money/least risk

 

There isn't a set fee. The minimums and maximums for each title.

 

Yes there are different levels for Commonwealth, Brit, Euro but there is a difference between Groves Degale Brit title and Hall Donnelly

 

McDonnell practically stated he didn't want the fight against Hall saying that it wasn't in his interest.

why not drop the Commonwealth title and pick the good pay days with the EBU title.

 

hall beats mcdonnell imo
