I know Corbett held the title[I watched him win it and defend it in The Ulster Hall], but as Corbett has announced his retirement one would assume the title is now vacant. On the other hand if big Darren has changed his mind[which would not be like him] a defence of his title would be the logical step back. A NIGHT WITH COLLINS AND BENN http://www.irishboxingblog.com/
Andy Lees opponent is up on boxrec Olegs Fedotovs 10-5(1). This shouldnt ask too many questions of Andy he probably needs a handy one like this at the moment as he weighs up his options. Fedotovs has only been stopped once in five defeats so best case for Lee is to get rid of the guy. Another fight in Europe for Lee, i wonder will he follow his ex-teammate Paul Mc Closkey and fight for the european title?
im sorry, please tell me my eyes are decieving me.....10-5 (1)???????? this is an utterly pointless fight for andy lee, he would be better finding someone top rate to spar a few rounds with. this guys talking about winning euro and world titles but fighting fellas like this! he really needs to get himself a decent american promoter or else all his talent is going to slip away.
just checked boxrec and Olegs Fedotovs last 2 opponents have a combined record of 1-3-2. Manny Steward is ****ing up big style with lee. I'd love to see him in against McEwan or Elcock
Yeah a stay busy fight at very best,These fights are ok as long as long as you are staying busy for something.I hope Andy has something in the pipeline, Another thing is Andy is fifth down the line as far as undercard fighters go maybe the promoter wasnt prepared to pay for someone decent for a fight so far down the bill. Either way a big test needed in his next one i think we can all agree, mc ewan and elcock mentioned already i think thats spot on.
Staying busy is one thing, remember this guy was a top five prospect and since that shitty loss to Vera he has done sweet **** all really, staying busy for what? People are forgetting about him, he needs a promoter, and fights that will draw interest. A days sparring in the gym would suffice instead of demolishing this bum in 3 un-competitive rounds.
You are all getting a bit over excited here lads, it is only a keep busy fight and as Puca rightly stated a decent opponent cost decent money. I will reserve my judgment on the direction of his career until I see who he fights after June 20th:think
i partly guessed it would be something like this.it took too long to be announced plus its a k2 promotion.their notorious for spending **** all on undercards.after haye pulling out i was hoping it would be a good opponent though.all the way to germany for this and wlad-chagaev
Rogan and Sexton set for re-match This content is protected Rogan (left) had Sexton in real trouble before the fight was stopped last month Martin Rogan looks set for a re-match with Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam Sexton in Belfast in September. Sexton clinched the Commonwealth belt by beating Rogan last month after a doctor ruled that the Belfast man was unfit to continue in the eighth round. Rogan had Sexton in trouble on several occasions prior to the stoppage. The Belfast fighter's trainer John Breen says contracts have been drawn up for a fight and that a bout is on the cards for the Odyssey Arena. BBC Sport understands that mooted dates are Friday 11 September and Saturday 19 September. In the May bout, Rogan, 38, had the 25-year-old Sexton out on his feet in round eight but hesitated to go in for the kill. Sexton had a further opportunity to recover when he lost his gumshield and as soon as the fight restarted the doctor ruled that Rogan, whose left eye had almost completely closed, was unfit to continue. After suffering his first defeat in 13 professional fights, Rogan was highly critical of referee Dave Parris' performance. Rogan won the Commonwealth belt with
I think Andy murrays career along with the rest of the Peters stable have stalled due to Peters lack of interest in promoting anybody other than Bernard Dunne:verysad
