Not a waste of time if it builds on a big potential fan base in Ireland. Andy Lee is a weight up from Moore. Moore's already beaten Macklin. Can you think of any other Irish fighter to defend against? Duddy's hardly going to risk a WBC top 3 ranking vs someone who could - and there's no nicer way of saying ths - pulp him, is he?
Jamie, great to see all you're patience pay off for you the other night. The atmosphere was great, think that shows what everyone thinks about you. As i've said before, you've entertained us for a long time now and its great to see you land the European. Well deserved. Really pleased for you and Steve Wood as its been a long road to get there..congratulations mate.
A fight with Bundrage would improve moore's resume to american fighters. He is also very beatable and can be knocked out as well. The guy i would avoid most is Yuri Foreman hard to look good against Well done Jamie keep the good fights coming
Bundrage is certainly beatable if you take away the right hand. But a southpaw against a good right hand is always risky. I think Moore would beat him though.
People need to relax a little. Yes it was a great win and even better performance, but Piccarillo offered little and he really did look his age. It says nothing about how he'd fair with somebody like Dzinziruk, and Forrest is still a quality operator when he is motivated as last time out.
Moore's promoterMaloney also has Darren Sutherland. I'm sure Moore and Sutherland could draw well in Ireland perhaps on the same show. Moore, with exciting, accomplished pressure style + European title. Might become quite an attraction over there. And then if he fights in America, the American-Irish might come out as they do for Duddy. Yanks seem to think Brits are no-hopers after Jennings and Lockett defeats. I think a win over an American contender, preferably in America, goes a long way to making things like world titles happen sooner. Just look how hard it's been for a world champ, Froch, to get Taylor in there. If they knew who he was, things would certainly be happening sooner.
