    If he ****s this up, I don't ever wanna hear from Dinu ever again. Apparently MrBoxingtoday spoke to Granat's manager and they're looking to bring an undefeated American as replacement, a prospect that excites MrBoxing but he wouldn't give any name.

    Mitchell would be the smartest choice out of these 3, he beat Mario Heredia in a close fight where he was knocked down, Heredia beat Parker in amateurs but on the downside, he lost his last fight to a 6 fight pro via 5 round ko.Bryan is inactive but he is dangerous he beat Rossy with ease and is the good boxer who keeps himself in shape.Jermain Franklin is World Golden Gloves finalist and an 87 Golden Gloves winner.Just 23 years old but is active and has 8 ko's out of 9 fights.

    Don't forget Simon Kean vs Avery Gibson, a lot more interesting fight than It looks on paper.

    Mariusz Wach pulled out of the fight with Agit Kabayel and is instead rumoured to take on Erkan Teper in March. Kabayel will now fight Herve Hubeaux.

    That's an OK fight too. Been waiting to see Hubeaux against a live opponent.

    Hearn wanted to bring Matchroom boxing to the US and now he is looking at MMA, he wants to create his brand in the UK.Maybe he can lure Joshua into it, haha.Next, he will try to stage boxing fight in Antarctica.He is just thinking too big.

    He plans on bringing Matchroom boxing to the US was laughable, no one in the US would watch 30+ UK boxers over course of the year.He was talking to HBO and others, of course, no one fancied that idea, Hearn just wanted HBO to pay the majority of the bills for the fight or some other network just like SKY does.

    Good to see Oquendo/Briggs is in the works and the whole WBA HW saga might progress a step or two.

    It's been a mess for so long and to get it resolved one way or another has to happen. I reckon Ustinov vs Ortiz would have been interesting, and still a chance this could eventuate at some point through the WBA set up perhaps?

    Agit Kabayel vs Herve Hubeaux.
    Good match-up for 2 young fighters.
    The winner of this fight will make a good step up.
    I favor Kabayel, but Hubeaux (althought he is a bum beater) is not bad as well.
