Just reading one of the articles about the 21st september event at the copperbox,confirming walsh v murray in addition to ryder vs saunders.towards the bottom of the page i noticed this [ This content is protected [/B]. Yet another pointless offer to a hearn fighter who already has a big fight lined up and is a few steps above ******s fighter aka cleverley v froch.
Completely riddiculous. Much as I like Gavin he is not there yet and has no real right to call out Brook. Brook has moved passed that level.
I know kell hasnt smashed onto the world scene fully yet but hes far above british level which is where frankie(not for too much longer)currently is.so why step back down for a meaningless fight whichout a huge purse when you have a bigger fight lined up in your home town and are currently a number one ranked fighter with a world title opportunity in the next 6-9 months. ****** just makes these ridicoulous offers because he knows they will get knocked back and he can say"we tried to make the fight"what a load of bollocks from him again.
Thats not what I read. I read 172 or something similar. It was catch weight this catch weight that. If you wanna fight for a super middle title. Get down to super middle.
Well you might want to read some more as Cleverly said he was willing to drop down to 168 to make the fight happen. I believe he also tweeted this as well. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2013/06/cleverly-ill-fight-froch-at-168-and-beat-him/
Maybe I do need to read a bit more then. In reality Clev should look to fight some world class opposition at the weight in which he claims to be a world champion. Kovalev is a good first step. Though I suspect he will KO clev.
Clev said he'd do 168, ****** said he'd never let Nathan fight at that weight. Easy for Clev to make nonsense statements that he knows he won't have to back up.
