    A massive win for him over Rodriguez, seems to be a tricky opponent, doesn't get beat easily, where do you think he can go?

    He could easily be top European level, could beat M'baye

    good fighter, he takes hard fights, he's in a position to move in on a world tilt, maybe as a late stand in, many a title has changed hands in a simalar situation.:good

    I would actually like to see him in with a top British figher....Junior Witter if hes carrying on would be good. Maybe Matty Hatton for the Euro. I don't know if he plans to stay at 147 after this or drop back down to 140.

    I personally think his career wont move any further forward just like after the Corley win. He doesnt have the leverage to get a big fight unless its as a late stand in. Hes to much of a risk with no reward for most fighters.

    Ash keeps himself very fit between fights, always training. So as a last minute sub he would be a dangerous opponent. I think he is toying with the idea of going down to 140. I will ask him.

    He is a good fighter and its a shame he is avoided as much as he is.Trying to push his name forward as a British title challenger probably would not be a bad idea.

    Maybe they'll chuck him in with Canelo. He was planning to
    fightRodriguez, and maybe they'll feel Alvarez could learn from a trickier style?

    Doubtful, as it's risky, but I feel it's a good fight for both.

    Failing that, Theopane could try and stir up a European title fight with Matthew Hatton.

    My mate trains in the same gym as him and describes his work rate as scary
