    10/10 for effort Billy boy.. Banter is spot on but I wouldn't expect anything less from the best coach in the world with the best stable.. On another note how's your dogs getting on
     
  2. For a bloke whose stable's best win is an area level fighter in Tobias Webb he is incredibly arrogant.

    You'd think he was an in demand trainer handling the brightest UK talent when it is anything but.

    Actually I am guilty of thinking Heffron was a LHeavy. He's a tough one to judge is Mark, bags of talent - ridiculously strong & power to burn, but so inactive it's worrying, am sure you'll know more about what's going on behind doors Kev. I know there are board issues etc but he's defo in with a shout providing that gets sorted.

    I like the way Billy has just totally ignored my comments regarding Blackledge as tho they were never even mentioned, speaks volumes.

    No Mark will be campaigning at Super Middle Weight
    We are just waiting on confirmation of his British licence then we will be chasing the British. Very bad news for ALL the other domestic super middles
    Mark will be very busy and is out again April 9th

    That's good to hear then, fingers crossed he is on the scene. What's your thoughts on him & Blackledge then? Though the two of them are good pals aren't they? So I'd imagine if it doesn't need to happen it probably won't.

    Like I said before, wide open is that British now - and providing Fielding goes on to bigger fights as expected then Luke has to be in pole position for the Lonsdale (smith will surely vacate) that said, I wouldn't bet against Blackledge to reverse his loss against Rocky, though that won't happen due to Harison / Matvienko ties...

    Mark defo be a welcome addition to the scene, with cox , buglioni & markham all changed weight or out of action..

    I wouldn't want it to happen because of my relationship with Luke . But if it was for the British it would have to happen
    Let's put it this way if it does happen you won't be doing any more after fight tv interviews ; )

    Haha enough said, diplomatic! Yeh course if there's the Lonsdale on the line then it's the way it is. Have to say I don't know enough about Mark to pass proper judgement, though what I have seen he's looked impressive. Where's the April show I think I'll have a look.

    & the interview, don't steal my thunder - I still haven't had an offer through as a HBO pundit - must be lost in the post haha..!

    I think Groves never got over the second loss to Froch, he has never looked the same since the first fight with Froch.

    This is a great opportunity for Brophy, and I think he can cause an upset

    im not ignoring anyone mate its called at my work earning a living, your right if David were to lose of co**** he wouldn't expect to fight Luke in May, but im sure hed be challenging guys at domestic level shortly afterwards, however our total focus is on beating George in three weeks:good

    with due respect Molnar is his countrys No1 Lightweight, has more experience has a pro than Lewis, I think it will be a good fight, one im very confident of winning because I know the work Lewis has put in the gym and how hes looking, ive not claimed anyone is ducking Lewis what im saying though Lewis is good enough now to beat any of the domestic fighters in the UK

    To Clarify Adam Mate was number 1 until he got KO'D in the first round by Josh Taylor stop building the fight to something it's not.. Molnar is a journeyman about the same level as the likes of Area Scottish level.. The likes of Ryan Collins and Andrew Mackay would beat him
