    sure the purse bid will be enough for Willie to give up his day job? i doubt he will get paid more for this than he was offered for Mitchell

    not sure,like ive said before limond would fight kevin anywhere if he felt the terms were right,rob you dont do a £500 job for £100 do you? willie thought he deserved more than what was on offer.

    But if Limond had beaten Mitchell he would have totally shoved the offer back in the oppositions face and would now be in line for a world title eliminator instead of a British title chance. I think he just did not fancy his chances.

    mc allister would rather fight a hand picked opponent in manchester on the haye card and andersons no longer promoted by Frank Warren so no chance of him being on it i would have thought,there could be the likes of simpson,limond,hughes,carruana they alone would sell out a 4000 seated arena.

    Ayes it would sell anyways and aye forgetting McAllisters fight is sorted but woulda been good for a bit of promotion/needle with Limond if he had been.

    ****it, just want the date fixed up !!!!

    Arthur was sparring with Burns recently, looking good aye ?

    I would like to see willie get his shot. This should be a fairly comfortable fight for him an needs to be if he is going to do anything from here.

    Good luck Willie!!!
