Brian Magee to defend European title in Dublin

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=67442&cat=boxer

Pretty bad opponent, I guess Magee has been guaranteed a shot at Sartison and doesn't want a tricky tune up

 

elephant in the room.

 

Whats that mean:huh

 

hmmm

exactly what i was thinking

 

I think he ducked him

 

It's nothing like that mate. Maybe not duck, but when the fight did not get confirmed, i must admit, i was expecting him to be involved in something bigger than a defence of the euro against an "opponent"

 

:deal

 

hhhhmmm Magee pretty much ducked Paul Smith. If he has beat him, warren would of got him a title shot.

 

they were looking to put both titles on the line though weren't they?? It's not as if magee was stepping up himself to fight for the euro, he is the holder!!
When you say what's the point in going back, Smigga would have been quite close to being in line for a shot at the euro, so it's not as if he would have been doing Smigga a favour in fighting him for both titles, Smigga would have fought himself into contention for a shot.
Fwank said b4 the dodson fight that either man could possibly go on to fight magee for the euro title, so it's not as if the idea hadn't been mooted previously.
I am sorry, but everything that has happened to me smacks of Magee not wanting it

 

the fight would have been for the British and European title, a big domestic showdown which would sell 8,000 tickets in Ireland or Liverpool. Smith is ranked top 10 by the WBC and WBO it could have been made an eliminator.

Magee is fighting a routine defence, probably beign paid less than Warren offered in the fight that will recieve less media intrest.

the fight doesnt lead to a WBA title fight as his opponent isnt ranked by the WBA.
