    Has this fight been confrimed? I dont see Evans making the weight.

    Maybe Cacace or Mccorry or McCullough will take it?

    No guarantee it wouod be more as a battle of Wales for the commonwealth title wouodshift tickets and couod have potentially headlined a next gen show. The biggest reason it was a better option is Evans would be healthy at the weight were as at 9.4ib he's beat v Bowen before he even gets in ring. If it was left to purse bids or an offer was invited from Matchroom he would have been able to weigh offers up. I am sure he isn't earning enough against to Bowen to put his health at risk as with the extra weight lose hr will be weight drained or will miss weight and potentially not fight and get a wage.

    This is all conjecture!
    He has a team around him to weigh up all the options, I don’t think he is going to accept a fight knowing he isn’t going to make the weight and potentially lose money!

    Trained by Gavin Rees now so I expect him to make weight.

    I know he is. But his only ever made super feather once and that was his debut. He looked awful on the scales at lightweight in his last fight that's why I'm questioning him making championship limit and being strong for 12 hard rounds

    Although I agree with his weight making in the past, if his move to Gavin Rees has meant he is taking training much more serious then I think that he could possibly do Super Feather. I think it has been well known in the past that Craig has always been talented but maybe his work ethic and weight making has always been a problem.
