No doubt Limmond will find some wood to play with or Morales will either find a dodgy Mexicant or reire. Really can not see it happening but best of luck all the same.
Billy you stole my thunder ya...! lol I spoke to Willie earlier and guys this is for real. It's still sinking in for him too. I think this is terrific news. He was due a break and what a fight to get.
Then James Slater has made a bollock of things on the front page http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=23842&more=1
When my mate texted me this I phoned him to say April Fool's Day was over a month ago, but it turns out it's true. From what I hear it's set for San Diego. I might have to see if I can make it to this
WTF, I believe they think its a done deal, but I'll believe it when it happens, much the same as Burns fighting for a world title. Great if it happens but wont hold my breath.
Boxing Scene have talked to "sources close to...Erik Morales" and they have denied that Erik will be fighting Limond OR Barrios. They have been wrong before though.
Fair play to Limond for the pay day. But he's got no chance against Morales granite chin with those feather fists. I don't care how far past his prime he is.
Morales will struggle to make the weight imo but last I heard he was looking for a 4th fight with Pac. Unfortunately Erik is a spent force and imo has been since before the 1st Pac fight never mind now. It would be a great opportunity for Willie to get some exposure and maybe even a decent payday but it would be no more significant that McBride beating Tyson if im honest. (not because Willie isnt talented coz he certainly is but more because Erik is so past it imo)
