    They need to take a long hard look at themselve's for sanctioning the like's of this and the even worse Bobby Gunn charade disguised as a title fight.

    That SOB is coming.... Herbie Hide! Will be top contender in a few fights. Enzo' won't take those shots. Hide hits harder than this "Ding a ling guy". :nono

    Herbie may have a glass-chin, but that's not enough negatives to allow him into the ring with Enzo. If he was also a straight-from-retirement bum, who couldn't punch his way through wall in a Japanese house, he might get considered.

    voluntary defences can take place against anyone in the top 15, and both gunn and sellars magically appeared at No. 15 when the fights with macca were made.

    what the wbo should do is actually enforce mandatories instead of being too damn champion-friendly.

    The WBO probably figured a long time ago that longevity makes a champion and being that they have always been known as "that other organization" they needed to find good fighters to represent the WBO brand. As much as I love Eubank he got away with fighting alot of no-hopers in the WBO rankings. Even got a few dodgy decisions in the process. Being a WBO fighter is a comfy little gig when u think of it.

    Boxing News seems to think Sellers Is out of the fight and Rob Calloway Is a possible replacement.

    They're probably not deceiving anyone, for some 'fans' their boy winning is all that really matters. If Enzo didn't have a belt, you'd hardly see any posts on these pages, it just goes to show how accepting some fight fans are. Promoters will get away with whatever they can, and at present FW's getting away with this.

    yeah i read that although the WBO approved sellers, the BBBC would not (?). i think calloway is the only available opponent (who FW will agree to)
