Hearn tweeting that Matchroom will be announcing a new champion signing tomorrow! Guess at Brian Rose, Jamie McDonnell or Gary Buckland?
VIP have announced that Brian Roses new promoter info will be released in the next few days. I think it is that.
Could be Jamie McDonnell? I don't think he's actually signed to Matchroom is he? If Rabchenko has vacated his Euro title then Rose could go for that and leave the British for Ochieng...
Can't believe some people thinking it's a bad signing just because he isn't going to reach world level. He has a very big fan base in Blackpool, and he's a good technician, he'd beat Rabchenko IMO, Rose has done well for himself over the last 2 years, after getting sparked by Maxwell did you honestly think he'd achieve what he has, he's won the British outright and banked some decent money, very good career so far.
I think Rose would be a solid signing. British Champion, has a fairly decent fan base in Blackpool with Matchroom behind him he could be pushed on to greater things.
I agree BA, Rose has good activity and Matchroom can't just have massive shows they may need the odd smaller show or a show without the big guns.
Yeah, I agree. Not every fighter can be a world champion and at least with Rose, you know he's going to sell plenty of tickets and be in good, competitive fights. I think he can win a European title. Rose would be a live underdog against K9, who I've never rated at all. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Rose in undercard fights for Froch, Bellew and Brook shows.
