Bahitia drops a points loss to McArthur

Yeah his main priority is to win the british back and then defend it once more to win it outright. After that i think he would like a rematch not only with appleby but also with derry matthews to set the record straight.

 

I hope he does it mate he a proper pro and fought all the guys he needed to fight in Britain. Him vs Matthews is the one i wanna see lol

 

I think alot of people would love to see that fight happen again. though at the moment matthews has nothing to offer in john.

I still think john needs to get a new manager/promoter. everyone hes been with hes been messed about and morrison just now isnt getting him regular fights which i think he needs to fight at his best. when he doesnt fight for 8 months at a time he doesnt perform as good as we know he can his best run of form came when he won the british and fought regularly for about a year and a half.

 

Yep i have to agree ring rust affects a lot of fighters and doesn't help anyone nor the bank balance and most important for a fighter like John don't help him achieve his aims. I saw him have a fight a while back and could see he wasn't at it and the layoff affected him it was the african guy he fought Gicharu. Your right he hasn't fought since the Truscott fight and Truscott was out the other week that's no good to John.

 

Yeah he wasnt at his best that night. he was meant to fight steve bell but got an injury rumour is if he beats truscott which i think he will he is to fight bell in september/october which is good as hes fighting regular but i think he should be getting back into british title contention instead and i dont think fighting bell will really do that maybe even a final eliminator against bhaatia conqueror arthur?

 

Yeah he will have a better chance going in with Arthur in a final eliminator.

 

I'm backing truscott the lad posses good boxing skills ....but lacks power to be a major player .

 

Bhatia has great skill but my old opponent Peter Allen gave him a hell of a fight about a year and a half ago. I thought he did enough to win it. That made me think he wasn't quite as good as he looked. That a more skilled but as solid opponent has beaten him is in hindsight not that much of a suprise.
