    Some good fights there but also a couple of non-starters. The Board can order the purse bids but if one of the sides doesn't fancy the fight then they don't have to take it.

    if nobody makes a purse bid i guess they dont. not sure if that happens much though.

    there was an eliminator orderd for limmond vs watson this year an nobody made a bid.

    Yep, but the challenger can decline. I think Hide will do that, I'm also not sure that Jennings will fight twice in 6 weeks, he could even retire if he loses to Brook.

    agreed. I think jennings has been smart with his money outside of the ring. He has been a british level and beyond no reason for him to stick around and become an opponent.

    Anderson v Quigley, Arron v Hall and Watson v Brawley are the main three i'd like to see happen. The others are good matches but unlikely to happen in some cases. Them 3 fights would be the most competitve and best to watch imo

    Wright v Williams is not a bad match up either

    I have nver been too fussed on John. I like Caballero, dont know how on earth he did suer bantam. Lopez is arguably pick of the bunch but my favourite is Gamboa. I think he is so talented but looks like he may be vunerable so maybe Lopez would do him? Not sure but will be good to watch either way and one I would love to see :lol:

    So my favourite and number 1 is Gamboa....just! Although I wouldnt be surprised if Lopez came out on top :nut

    Jennings won't lose to Brook.

    The step up in class will be too much I feel. Moving from domestic journeymen and the Eurobum he fought last time to Jennings is a biggie.
