http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=22368&more=1 Crap opponent, padded record and was stopped in 2 by Junior Witter back in 2004. Also has a a shutout points loss to Oktay Urkal. Bienias is the WBO intercontinental champ atsch http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=17749&cat=boxer
He does have a win over a green Yuri Romanov though, looks utter crap though Jennings would have been a much better fight.
crap opponent, but i guess they are looking for the least risky route to a world title. btw, i thought the wbo renamed their inter-continental belt to the "wbo european" belt?
No, I think they have that as well as the intercontinental belt or is that the WBA :huh. I think they expect Manny to vacate the title in the future.
Hopefully he can get Jennings in early summer time? He'll have the time, as I some how don't see Warren getting Brook in with Pacquiao any time soon.
This is shite. Why do they have to go for that micky mouse title all the time? Why not a proper one like the European?
The vacant European title is being fought for early next year.... but yeah, the European route makes alot of sense.
This is a joke when I went through the WBO ranking I picked this guy out as the worst opponent by a mile and the opponent I thought Frank would pick and look what happens. I would much rather he defended his British against another contender like Craig Watson, Adnan Amar, Matthew Hatton, John O'Donnell instead we are served this inter-continental bs. I hate inter-continental titles what the **** are they supposed to be?
the usual bs from warren does'nt suprise me, looks like warrens being a bit of a tight arse what with this and offerin limond pennies? at least this mans fairly 'live' i hate it when they get washed up legends and make abig deal out of it like khan/barrera. what ever happened to yuri romanov? he spanked thaxton and then nothing? i thought he wouldve been an ideal opponent for khan at one point.
Romanov was scheduled to fight Angulo for the vacant IBF title, but that got cancelled for some reason and nothings happened with him since. Shame really as I think Romanov would of won that. He'd have never have got the chance to fight Khan, far.....far too dangerous.
Some Visa thing if i remember think Odo posted it on the Euro forum, he will probably have to build himself up in europe again after this long out.
Oh poo. It's off again. I hope it doesn't turn into a typical Warren card. Brook should defend his British title against a British contender. This fight is ****.
