Here we go again........Mundine steps up!

Absolutely - as soon as the cash starts hitting my account the 3 names mentioned will be posted

 

I got $5 and a few cans of beer left.....is that enough :conf

 

considering I don't drink that seems like the deal of the facking century

 

Well I promise to throw an extra snag on the BBQ if you can get your slack ass down for the next fight day......or don't you eat either :yep

 

take a look at me - it's obvious I eat! The only thing that stopped me being there was the Soliman gig, catch ya at the next one!

 

Hey Phil just out of interest if you dont mind me asking...

How much are sanctioning bodies (obviously you would know most about the IBO) involved in negotiations when one of their belts are up in a fight (mainly the world titles)

Take Mundine or Lovemores next fight for example. Does the IBO insist that the champ keeps them informed of every step as in who they are looking at and how negotiations are coming along? Do they say just tell us the name when its all sorted out as long as it meets our criteria (such as the fighter is Top 15, 50, 100 whatever) we wont object?

 

Now on the 3 fighters names mentioned......if I get 1 right will you tell me the others?

 

Gone a bit quiet mate....everything ok?

On the Soliman fight....the jury is still out as to if you were there :huh

Flamengo said he met a guy saying he was Phil Austin...and he said he was a nice guy......very inteligent.....quite funny....and very knowlegable about boxing.

Looks like on all acounts it wasent you :yep

 

Let Me Guess - Peter Manfredo

Winky Wright

Rob Medley

 

no, no and no - Stu Duncan is on it and it is a shortlist of 3 US fighters

 

Watch how excited Ash gets.

 

:admin:hammertimeartytime:freddyartymj:cheers:woot

 

Okay, so we know that it won't be Manfredo, Wright or Medley, or Bika, or the Geale rematch, since it's a shortlist of US fighters.

Just looking at Boxrec's MW rankings, the only US or US-based fighters in their top 25 are:

Pavlik - fighting Paul Williams in November
Wright - Phil says it's not Wright
Enrique Ornelas
Roman Karmazin
Giovanni Lorenzo - fighting Sebastien Sylvester in September
Daniel Jacobs - fighting Ishe Smith next week
Andy Lee - fighting Anthony Schuler next week
Craig McEwan

Is it safe to assume the shortlist will comprise of anyone from the top 25 MW's in the world, or will Mundine stay true to form and look for a minor organisation to elevate some poor sucker up their rankings so he qualifies for a fight against Mundine? Just sayen :yep

 

Im looking further into my crystal ball and i think Phil might get a fright over these names.

1) Miguel Espino
2) Sergio Mora
3) Karmazin

 

A Miguel Espino type is the likely scenario.
