January 20th: Derry Matthews vs. Emilano Marsili & Steve Forbes vs. Ryan Barrett

Forbes has pulled out of bout, no official reason given as of yet.

 

warrr derry!!!

 

Heard I was coming down

 

:deal

 

Good luck Derry. I hope you can get that big fight in 2012.

 

there is a interview with forbes on the scene says he doesnt know why it was cancelled but hes okay with it

 

Maybe Barrett was injured?

 

Woah what with the laughter ;-)

 

Joe Selkirk fighting on the bill aswell, has he left ol' fish eyes:think

 

Probably not this is a co-promotion with ****** now that it is on Boxnation but its an absolute travesty that he isnt at Brit title level by now.

Been my one to watch for over 18 months now and he has barely fought atsch. When he has he has looked great. Good win agaisnt OMeara and decimated Carruthers.

 

yep, remember reading article, probably in Boxing News with the head trainer from Rotunda and he said Selkirk was the most talented fighter he's had in the gym, ever, and could really bang with both hands. Didn't he have some trouble with them a while back

 

Had a bit of trouble a while back he was out for about a year from end of 08-09 then ran into that period where Allegedly wasnt putting on a great deal of shows and a lot of his prospects barely fought but he has been fine since the O meara fight in terms of hand problems and injuries.

I thought he would get a few run outs in the autumn time. He was supposed to be fighting Sai instead of Cox heading the DEBRA charity show then for no reason it was changed. Then he was supposed to be on Smith Selby bill.....again was pulled from that for no reason.

I tweeted him not long ago asking if he was injured he said that he had no problems was so frustrated with his career progression. If i was a rival promoter I would sign him up in an instant would be a god fighter for Maloney who is thin on the ground for champions at the moment.

 

Not getting paid. :deal

 

:deal

I feel for him though with proper progression he would have had 15 fights and be at Brit level no problem by now. I think he would give Rose a good fight tomorrow.
