Limond to grab Garden chance, exclusive interview!(kind of)

When I say its an 'exclusive', it was in todays glesga paper but wasnt put onto their website, but I had bought said newspaper, & have typed it all out for everyones viewing pleasure here whos interested:good

Willie Limond has decided to live his dream and tke a fight at Madison square Garden- The home of boxing against Dmitri salita.
However, with the matchup representing a risky move up to light-welterweight from Limonds natural 135lbs lightweight habitat- & against the worlds no2 rated fighter, who is unbeaten in 29 fights and banged out 16 opponents- the fight is fraught with danger for the glaswegian.

But after a heart-to-heart with his manager, braveheart promotions supremo Barry Hughes, Limond has opted to hit the big apple. And he said
"Given how highly rated Salita is, his record & the fact I am going to have to move up 5lbs is a bit of a gamble, but then you only live once. "I just didnt want to be sitting at home years down the line & telling my boys I could have fought in the Garden and have to explain to them why I bottled out.
"The other thing is that proir to this year I had felt my career stagnating and I moaned plenty about not getting any opportunities other than 8 round club fights- well what kind of fighter would I be if I didnt tke this opportunity?"
Limond added: "I know how tough it is going to be, but I have belief in my own ability and there is every chance that Salita could underestimate me. If he does then he will have made the biggest mistake of his career"

Hopefully Limonds gamble will pay off & he gets the W, & then the world is his oyster if he comes home with Salitas scalp...
