    pac-mayweather falls through
    mosley-berto is cancelled
    holyfield-botha canceled
    Tua cancelled a feb fight in the states for "personal problems"
    and now williams vs [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Derek Chisora

    5 fights down the shitter and we arent even in the 2nd month of 2009
    [/FONT] picking up after a horrible 2009 of cancellations .


    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Danny Williams has withdrawn from his British Heavyweight title defense against Derek Chisora at Wembley Arena on February 13 citing that he has a viral infection. Promoter Frank is now in talks with two boxers who hold wins over Williams to face Chisora instead on the huge Night of the Champions show. Williams caused confusion last week when after accepting to fight Chisora – who replaced the injured Sam Sexton – he then failed to turn up at a press conference to announce the Chisora bout, leaving his manager Micky Helliet to say that Williams “needed some time to get his head around the change.” However, Williams confirmed last Friday that he was going ahead with the fight against the unbeaten puncher. “It’s very disappointing and frustrating after last week’s antics for Danny to once again pull out of the fight leaving Derek in the lurch,” said Warren.
    “I’m just sorry for Derek who has trained his heart out for his British title opportunity and has had it scuppered – and remember that Williams didn’t want to fight him when I tried to make the fight last year. I am working hard for Derek who will still feature on the Night of the Champion show and the two boxers I am negotiating with have beaten Danny already I said last week that Danny should vacate the title or retire if he didn’t want to fight him.”
    He added, “The Night of the Champions features the best in young talent that I promote like Derek, Nathan Cleverly, Kevin Mitchell, James DeGale, Frankie Gavin, Billy Joe Saunders, Jamie Cox, and the Walsh brothers and it will a fantastic night showcasing the future of British boxing.”

    Not like it was going to be a FOTY candidate anyway, I'm not crushed by the news.

    The only thing Williams needs to get his head around is retirement!

    looks like 2010 could be the year of fights that never happened, last year was bad enough.

    so it'll probably be carl baker or sprott against chisora, as sosnowski is fighting audley, skelton is fighting some euro bum and mcdermott has a planned rematch with fury.

    warrens card seems to be gettin shiter by the day, glad i didnt buy a ticket.

    Hopefully he'll retire now. He's had a decent career, but to see him floored twice against that Butterbean impersonator from Prizefighter was sad.

    Danny should retire,he looked totally shot in the prize fighter comp,he would have won that easily a few years ago.I was not expecting to hear him talk about fighting again after losing in the way he did.

    I know I didn't, but I'm still not happy that yet another fight was cancelled this year. Less boxing is still worse than more boxing, if that makes sense...

    Pulev is a top prospect who has already beaten Gbenga Oloukun (who beat Lamon Brewster) and Zack Page who is much better than his record suggests. If he beats Skelton, which I expect him to, hopefully he will become more widely known. He was a great amateur who beat Solis, definitely not a "euro bum".
