you listening to the interview mate? honest isn't he? looks like the march 9th opponent wont be the best
My laptop is so **** right now, keeps freezing during the broadcast ARRGGHH!! Why doesn't Eddie want Barker to face Golovkin?
Seems like allot of opponents turned the fight down. Just try and get someone he can walk through to keep busy and then have him in a big fight on the Froch undercard.
interview lasted over 50 minutes, for those who missed, i will post it when they put it on to Youtube with the times
i would imagine it would be on Youtube within the hour mate, but will try and summarise. it did last 50odd mins tho - All matchrooms top stars featured. - Hearn thinks Brook has great chance of winning Feb 23, next fight likely to be in UK if he wins. talked about the strategy and positioning of getting him where he is. - Talk about Froch-Kessler II - press conference tomorrow, where american coverage will be announced. Mentions not much options for ward, and that fighters sometimes need to leave their comfort zones (inc americans) - Wants Barker to be made for life when finished boxing. Has been looking at the likes of Vera, Mora etc for Mar 9th, but they are stalling. But promises us a step up from Kerry Hope. Looking to avoid GGG as there is little reward, tough fight, and can get as much money from Lee and Macklin - will be looking to get Barker a big fight on froch undercard. - Frampton and Bellew got mentions, as the host is a big fan of Carl, but forgot what the crack was atsch - Talked about Rees, what we have heard before, about how he took the fight in 1.3 seconds, and although a big outsider, he isn't a bum, and will give Broner a decent fight, and will likely set him up for another big fight after. - Mentioned Cleverly's career stalling, and made sure he brought up Karpency and Hawk . A bit talk about the GBP-Top rank situation and if it was comparable in europe. - If he promoted Burns, he would hardly ever be fighting outside of Scotland. Believed it wasnt Ricky avoid broner, but his team around him. Think that covers most of it, Brook got a large part of it like. Really good interview though, def worth a listen when it gets posted :good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPwTu3vxiks Link i would prob avoid the first hour - was a bit of a muddle due to tyson fury messing them around by not coming on when he was scheduled to. Martin Murray (sounds a lot like fury) is on at 1:08-1.29 Zab Judah on from 1.30-1.55 Eddie on from 1.56 - 2.48
