    To Adam these are token belts .. they don't hold much regard on the world stage somewhere he trying to get to, having said that Ben didn't handle that situation well.

    As it goes Adam Vs Dalton will definitely happen and now it has some history behind it , it will sell more when it happens ..

    And if he wants to get the world stage he shouldn't b pulling out of british and European title fights. Also helps having a meaningful fight instead of padding your record out and getting left wanting when u get their.

    I think Davis Ohara is a meaningful fight at this stage which I will be attending not seen this kid live yet, so would of been Harlem Eubank but Adam had a ankle injury and lost that fight date ..

    I want Adam to stay active , maybe early 2025 Jan or Feb before Ramadan then fight Dalton in the summer .. that would be ideal ..

    It's more then meaningfull, it's a bigger fight to get where he wants to go to. I'm looking forward to it, should be a good one.

    More meaningful than smith. Have a day off. Davis coming in off a first round stoppage loss against a lad that stopped by crollla( nice boxer very little power). Also his known for turning his back and quitting mid fight.

    They pulled out cause it was a 50 50 fight and they knew they couldn't win the purse bid and b the home fighter.

    I never said it was more meaningful then him fighting Smith, I was quoting the poster above me when he was mentioning the Davies fight over Harlem Eubank.

    It's come to something when Sky's Saturday night headliner is Ohara Davies, who fights once a year anyway, coming off a bad loss.

    Whittaker is so flashy but hasn't seemed to back it up recently. Needs a big win ASAP! I wonder who they'll match him with. Rematch possibly?

    Wonder if Hearn will keep dropping hints about signing Whittaker now he has been exposed.

    I know a bit about Whittaker being from the same area apparently he was a nice kid but his heads expanded since he came back from the Olympics by all accounts.
    He's not as well liked as other boxers who've had decent careers from the area.

    Turns out a sprained ankle, still an injury I suppose but pretty pathetic when you consider haye fighting on a ruptured Achilles in the arse end of his career

    What I don't understand is how the cards were scored for six rounds when only five were completed. Or am I just not seeing something obvious?
